Carbonite Inc., a provider of cloud and hybrid business continuity solutions for SMBs, has unveiled an enhanced portfolio of software and hardware disaster recovery solutions featuring server image backup and bare metal recovery. The new additions to the disaster recovery portfolio include five new backup appliances ranging in size from four to eight terabytes and a new version of Carbonite Server Backup – Carbonite Server Advanced. With multiple form factors, including software-only, hybrid solutions, and all-in-one mini-towers and rack-mounts, the company says that its new scalable disaster recovery solutions aim to help SMBs maintain operations at near-continuous levels without the complexity and expense of enterprise solutions.
“Small businesses need to restore their data as quickly as possible, without a lot of manual process or complexity,” says David Raissipour, SVP of Engineering, Carbonite. “Carbonite’s disaster recovery solutions provide bare metal recovery that will quickly restore a server to its original state, even to dissimilar hardware. With options that include granular database backup, separate local and cloud retention policies, and control over scheduling, we’re providing small businesses with a complete solution that ensures their critical data is safe from disaster, security threats and human error.”
