LONDON, April 1, 2008 - Atlanta Technology today announced the UK’s first hosted disaster recovery service that replicates data out of a customer site and into a remote data centre using FalconStor® technology. The service offers a ‘back in 60 minutes’ service level agreement.

Disaster protection is provided through the continuous replication of customer data via TCP/IP or FC to two tier one data centres: a primary location operated by Equinix and, from there, to a second location operated by Interxion.

Replication is at volume level, ensuring that if there is a failure then the volume can be rapidly mounted as a virtual server, with data accessible by the customer within 60 minutes of invocation via a secure connection from any internet-connected device. For customers, this constitutes a near-high availability solution at an affordable price.

Pricing is dependent on the deployment the local appliance and setup, plus a fee per GB of storage in the data centres. There are several tiers of service according to the size of the customer:

· Continue50 – less than 50 users, 1 or 2 servers, agent based replication

· Continue100 - 50-150 users, 4-5 servers, CDP appliance replication

· Continue250 - 150-250 users, up to 10 servers, CDP appliance replication

· Continue500 – more than 250 users, more than 10 servers, bespoke solution

Atlanta’s service employs the proven capabilities of FalconStor® Continuous Data Protector (CDP) to ensure secure, reliable data replication. Integration with application-aware snapshot agents ensures that application data are replicated and backed up accurately.

Use of the FalconStor CDP means that Atlanta’s solution offers the following unique competitive advantages:

· Time-based retention policy coupled with on-demand/event-driven bookmarks to facilitate rapid recovery

· Application-awareness to allow the user to restore the data with 100 percent transactional integrity

· Reverse journaling mechanism that provides immediate access to a recent system image

· Flexible configuration (host, switch or appliance-based) that facilitates rapid deployment

· Seamless integration with third-party backup software and VTL to ensure greatest possible return on investment

“The ability to meet RTO and RPO are vital to the health and competitiveness of any business,” said Thomas Barrett, regional director, Northern Europe, FalconStor. “FalconStor will team with industry channel partners, such as Atlanta Technology, to offer innovative, fully integrated data protection services to maximize the availability of customers’ IT operations.”

Simon Kelson, Managing Director, at Atlanta Technology, said: “We felt there was a gap in the market to provide an affordable and highly effective disaster recovery solution for small and medium businesses.
