Zenith Infotech Introduces ARCA

Advanced Recovery Continuity Appliance (ARCA) offers backup and restore options for businesses looking to independently maintain and monitor their systems.

Warrendale, Pa.-based Zenith Infotech, a provider of backup and disaster recovery as well as remote monitoring and management solutions, announced the availability of its new near-line business continuity appliance, ARCA. Distributed exclusively through the channel, ARCA is a network-attached storage device for Windows Servers that is preloaded with backup, recovery, and virtualization software.

Available in four models, ARCA provides a business continuity solution for companies of any size looking to deploy a stand-alone system that can be maintained and monitored independently. Through its unique ARCA to ARCA replication feature, solution providers can virtualize failed servers remotely in a fraction of the time typically required of other restoration options, according to the company. The appliance meets the RPO standards by indefinitely storing 48 hours of backups at 15-minute intervals, 14 daily backups, five weekly backups, and 30-day backups.

ARCA is the newest product in Zenith Infotech's BDR business continuity solutions series. It features:

• Block-level transfer for more efficient and reliable backups
• 15-minute incremental snapshots for more frequent recovery point objectives
• Total Windows Server Backup, which preserves OS and applications as well as data
• Exchange granular recovery, allowing restoration down to the message level
• Instant standby server virtualization resident directly on the ARCA appliance
• Bare metal restore, even to dissimilar hardware
• Industry standard encryption to ensure secure backups
• Multiple replication schemes for NAS-to-NAS replication
• Integrated management and reporting directly on the device

"ARCA is a perfect complement to any organization's existing tape backups because of its ability to provide near-term, near-line recovery from a single file, database, or mail message, up to a full production server, in minutes," says Akash Saraf, Zenith Infotech CEO. "It's an ideal solution for organizations [that] understand the criticality of investing in a solid business continuity plan, yet don't require the breadth and scope of a large monitoring and support structure."

Zenith Infotech's BDR business continuity solutions, introduced in 2007, offer a disk-based technology for backup and disaster recovery needs in the SMB market. With more than 10,000 customers throughout North America and Europe, the product gives technology solution providers a proven business continuity solution that can be offered under their own brand.
