Carlsbad, Calif. -- April 11, 2000 -- Arkeia by Knox Software, a Southern California-based developer of network backup solutions for the enterprise market, announced today that its Arkeia 4.2 network backup application is included with the Linux-Mandrake 7.0 PowerPack. Linux-Mandrake, a rising influence in the Linux distribution market, is published by MandrakeSoft Inc, of Altadina, Calif. and Paris, France. Noted for its graphical installation interface and other high quality open source tools and utilities for Linux, the Linux-Mandrake 7.0 PowerPack is widely distributed through a worldwide network of resellers.
The Linux-Mandrake 7.0 PowerPack, a six CD compilation of Linux-Mandrake installation tools, source code and sample applications, features a full version of Arkeia Personal Version 4.2 along with a 30-day evaluation copy of Arkeia Professional Version 4.2. The bundling of Arkeia for evaluation with Linux-Mandrake 7.0 makes it easy for network administrators to find a flexible, powerful commercial application for the backup of large heterogeneous computer networks along with the Linux-Mandrake tools they plan to use to build cost-effective network backup appliances.
"With the Arkeia network backup software in the Linux-Mandrake PowerPack, customers of both companies benefit from a combination of intuitive and easy to install Linux products with a backup solution that offers customers more control over their mission critical environments," said Jacques Le Marois of MandrakeSoft. "As a result, Linux will gain wider acceptance in today's enterprises."
Linux-Mandrake is the flagship product of MandrakeSoft Inc., a complete and easy to use Linux operating system available for both servers and workstations. MandrakeSoft keeps its technological edge by actively contributing to the rapid development of Linux, improving existing software and developing new functionality for the open source community. Mandrake offers full compatibility with the Red Hat Linux distribution.
A proven solution for enterprise network backup requirements, Arkeia provides incremental and full backups (scheduled or on demand) and preserves directory structure, registry, symbolic links and special attributes. Arkeia utilizes an exclusive multi-flow technology to back up multiple clients simultaneously, delivering speeds that are 200 to 300 percent faster than rival software packages. Arkeia's Java-based user interface enables the system administrator to manage multiple remote backup servers through the Internet as if they were local backups. The Professional Version of Arkeia provides client support for over 30 hardware-OS configurations.
Arkeia 4.2 was awarded the LinuxWorld Editor's Choice at LinuxWorld in August 1999. Version 4.2 provides several powerful enhancements such as a job queuing facility, a new command line interface, a virtual backup server facility and email notification upon completion of backups.
