Delivers Self-Managed, Reliable Backup and Storage Solution

 

 
 
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Planet, the world’s largest privately held dedicated hosting company, today launched its new Dedicated Backup Server equipped with R1Soft’s full-featured CDPServer continuous data protection software. Delivering one of the lowest costs per gigabyte in the industry, customers can select from three storage options — 500 GB, 1TB or 1.5TB - at introductory pricing that ranges from 27 cents to 56 cents per gigabyte through September.
 
 
The feature-rich backup solution offers a perfect fit for small to large businesses with mission-critical, intense data storage needs. With unique delegated administration functionality provided on The Planet’s Dedicated Backup Servers, the new R1Soft solution is ideal for resellers who need backup capacity for their clients. In addition, there is no limit to the number of clients backed up for any of the three offerings.

 

“It takes a single data-loss incident to learn a hard business lesson about the value of backup solutions,” said The Planet’s Director of Product Management Urvish Vashi. “Many small businesses never recover financially or restore their reputations after data is lost or compromised. By providing enterprise-grade backup at prices affordable for SMBs and resellers, The Planet eliminates the high-stakes probability of a devastating data loss that customers should clearly consider.”

 

The Planet’s Dedicated Backup Server delivers bare-metal recovery that allows customers to recover servers to their original known state. CDP provides a near-continuous snapshot of customer data, with the ability to rollback to the last data snapshot to minimize loss.

 

“At R1Soft, we designed our backup so that it minimizes bandwidth and CPU cycles to save overhead and disk space on busy servers,” said R1Soft Founder and CEO David Wartell. “Customers can schedule backup several times an hour even on busy servers, with near-continuous online backups, compression and end-to-end strong encryption. These affordable prices offer every reason that now’s the right time to select a new backup solution.”
