(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) – Web hosting provider Qube announced on Friday that it has implemented R1Soft Continuous Data Protection as a full replacement of its previous backup software. Qube will offer R1Soft CDP to provide backup and recovery services for managed dedicated and managed virtual servers customers.
On Thursday, Qube was named the second most reliable web hosting site by Netcraft.
Qube provides managed and cloud hosting out of three data centers in London, New York and Zurich.
Qube says it required a simpler approach to licensing as it has many different types of customers and servers with different types of backup and security needs.
R1Soft CDP features centralized management over multiple Linux, Windows and VMware virtual servers and is scalable for accommodating expanding environments.
“For a managed hosting and cloud services company such as Qube, the positive difference experienced when switching to CDP is huge” Domingo Martinez, global marketing manager for R1Soft said in a statement. “From faster, lighter backups to more efficient management, the benefits of CDP are intended to further the objectives of the hosting provider.”
Qube says with R1Soft it offers advanced features like bare metal restore so customers data restores can be completed quickly. Qube can use R1Soft CDP to backup applications like MySQL, Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft SQL.
“R1Soft Continuous Data Protection has surpassed Qube’s expectations of backup technology. Not only has CDP proven to be reliable and manageable, but its Bare-Metal Restore function is also useful for easily cloning servers, which has been an unexpected bonus for us,” Andy Ashley, strategy and R&D manager said in a statement. “The reporting feature has also been very valuable to our backup administration and management as it provides a quick overview of all of the backup job statuses.”
In November, web hosting provider eUKHost started offering R1Soft CDP with its shared and reseller hosting plans.
