R1Soft Releases MySQL Add-On

By theWHIR.com , July 26, 2007

July 26, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Continuous data protection solutions provider Righteous Software (r1soft.com) demonstrated at HostingCon 2007 (hostingcon.com/2007) this week its MySQL data protection add-on module, designed to support large or frequently changing databases that cannot tolerate downtime or performance decreases during backups.

Initially announced in March, R1Softs MySQL data protection add-on module is the first data protection product of its kind for MySQL databases, which generally store transaction-based data that changes frequently. As a result of these constant changes, legacy data protection solutions have many drawbacks, including their inability to store numerous point-in-time snapshots and their demands on system resources. 

The module is available as a premium add-on to R1Soft's flagship CDP Server product, providing data protection on both Linux and Windows platforms. Features of the module include the ability to execute Bare-Metal restorations for an entire MySQL server, the ability to back up busy MySQL Servers without interruptions and a simplified Web interface designed for both server administrators and end users.

"The native backup controllers breaks down and doesn't work for them because it has so much data," says David Wartell, CEO and founder of Righteous Software. "Our solution, because it's a near-continuous backup, will be able to turn it around for them and give them a quick backup solution that solves their problem."

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
