ARKEIA UNVEILS HOT BACKUP, RESTORE SOLUTION FOR LDAP SERVERS

Arkeia Corp announced the release of a plug-in for hot backup of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) servers, the first provider to offer a professional online backup and restore solution for LDAP servers. It enables Arkeia backup solutions customers to protect server data without interrupting LDAP services.

Installed into a company's IT infrastructure, an LDAP server centralizes network user information. It can manage server access levels for each employee and offer an online directory including contact details such as email address, direct phone line, photo, etc. Widely used solutions like SuSE Linux OpenExchange include an LDAP server.

"LDAP servers have been employed throughout the enterprise market, but no professional online backup solutions have been offered until now," said Phil Roussel, Arkeia CEO. "LDAP server online backup can either be integrated into an Arkeia network solution or can be protected by a dedicated Arkeia Server Backup installation."

The plug-in is convenient to use and configure via the Arkeia GUI: both backup and restore operations can be operated through the graphical interface. Data backup granularity can go to the Directory Service Entry level.

Arkeia Network Backup, recently selected Best Data Storage Solution in the prestigious LinuxUser & Developer Awards, is a proven enterprise solution. It provides fast and reliable data protection for business critical information, supporting literally hundreds of hardware/software/network configurations.
