Bacula Enterprise Edition provides data centers with an integrated cloud-based backup and restore solution for their entire physical and virtual environments regardless of architecture – all from a single platform. Company’s customers include NASA, TX A&M University, Swisscom, Bank Austria.

Enterprise Edition 8.8 is a scalable backup and recovery software for data centers and MSPs. Directly answering the IT industry’s challenge of exploding data volume with a low-cost subscription model that does not charge by data volume, this software release with integrated cloud features makes it far to predict costs – especially when recovering data from the cloud. It builds further on a customizable and flexible backup and restore solution that is relevant to both modest and large-sized data centers.

Features of Enterprise Edition 8.8 are:

Integrated backup and restore with both public and private clouds via the S3 interface
Granular control over data that needs to be restored from the cloud, reducing operational exposure to cloud costs and boosting business agility
Range of functionality throughout the entire platform designed to integrate physical and virtual environments with public, private and hybrid cloud data transfers, allowing more predictable costs
Faster backup and restores to and from the cloud, at low cost

“We take the ongoing development of Bacula Enterprise Edition very seriously, always adding to its extraordinary breadth of features and its unusually high range of compatibility with other technologies. This results in one of the most stable, scalable and reliable backup and restore software products available in the industry today, and is one of the reasons why Bacula Systems has so many high-profile customers,” said Rob Morrison, director, marketing.
