Press Release
Salt Lake City, Utah, March 17, 2008 – Moonwalk Inc., the Australian developer of all-inclusive data management software, has teamed up with Syncsort Incorporated, the trusted leader in enterprise data protection and disaster recovery, to deliver a high-performance disaster recovery and data archiving solution for Novell or heterogeneous networking environments.
Users of this joint solution are guaranteed safety, simplicity, and scalability for protection of their organization's growing, dispersed data on NetWare, OES, and OES2. This is achieved by utilizing Syncsort’s robust enterprise data protection to offer primary safeguarding of data and Moonwalk for proactive, precise archiving, storage management, and lifecycle management. In addition, the combined solution offers flexibility and minimized storage expenditures by offering users their choice of hardware configuration. Novell applications including eDirectory and GroupWise are also protected through this solution.
Syncsort and Moonwalk continue to show commitment to all Novell platforms including NetWare and Open Enterprise Server. As many third party software vendors are terminating support for NetWare offerings, Syncsort and Moonwalk are committed to providing NetWare customers with exceptional data management solutions and first-rate support.
"As a provider of data protection, disaster recovery and business continuity solutions, we have a firm belief in bringing to market end-to-end solutions that deliver the ultimate data protection for customers' mission-critical information," said Dan Regan, Senior Vice President of Syncsort. "The combination of Moonwalk software with the Syncsort Backup Express solution encompasses best-of-breed backup, archive and DR solutions for Novell Environments and provides a critically important – and needed – way for businesses to ensure the availability of data regardless of where it rests within the network."
"Without locking customers into a particular storage profile in an attempt to increase hardware sales as part of an overall go-to-market strategy, a heterogeneous solution, such as the one we've certified with Syncsort, allows customers to tailor their data protection needs to their own benefit," said Peter Harvey, CEO of Moonwalk. "We think that Syncsort's highly scalable, heterogeneous and robust backup technology is a perfect complement to our data management software and we're pleased to offer a certified compatible solution to an eager marketplace."
