Arkeia Software, demonstrated Arkeia Network Backup v8.2 at VMworld 2010, in Booth #1725. VMworld 2010 is being held at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, California. Arkeia Software, a leading provider of fast, easy-to-use, and affordable network backup solutions, announced that Arkeia customers and resellers are significantly reducing complexity and costs using Arkeia’s new backup agent based on VMware’s vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP).

“Before Arkeia Network Backup, deploying a single backup solution to protect both virtual and physical environments was complex and expensive, requiring a jumble of backup products glued together with custom scripting,” explains Alan Tucker, director of Business Computing and Network Services Ltd a technology consultancy west of London, UK.

“Arkeia’s backup agent for vStorage meshes seamlessly with Arkeia’s backup agents for physical platforms, including Linux and Windows,” said Fabiano Fraga, IT manager, ITS Group, a Brazilian system integrator.

“Our clients need solutions for both physical and virtual environments,” observes Steve Premeau, CTO of Premeau Enterprises, a data protection consulting firm that serves the educational institutions and small businesses in the Midwest. “They’re no longer limited to backup applications that serve VMware environments exclusively. Now, all of their data protection requirements are available in a single data protection solution: Arkeia Network Backup.

“As operators seek to avoid being relegated to the role of a dumb pipe with their businesses confined to providing transport, it is clear that many revenue generative opportunities are being missed. Among these, the opportunity among the small to medium size enterprise (SME) market is one that offers great potential. However, in common with other areas of the industry, carriers are being cut out of the value chain by web companies that provide applications and services to clients directly. Google is the classic provider of many services that SMEs use via the cloud on a pay-as-you-go or subscription per month model. Some of such providers’ propositions fit elegantly with the requirements of SMEs. By their nature with between 2 and 75 employees, they can’t invest in enterprise-grade hardware and software and don’t want to get locked in to rigid, long-term contracts that could either prove too costly or fail to scale up as their business grows.”

“In my experience, whilst operators’ own shops and specialist retailers were ready to offer bundles of minutes and messages and SME-focused propositions such as shared call packages between company users, they were unable to offer more specific, enterprise applications and therefore miss out on the opportunity to upsell. I believe that operators can use this channel successfully. By offering revenue generative, value-added services directly to SMEs at the traditional point of sale, backed by the enviable trusted relationship they already have with their SME customers, they can outflank the web services companies and tap into the greater revenues generated for themselves.”
