Microlite Maximizes Value of Recordable DVD-MULTI Devices
for the UNIX and Linux Platforms
ALIQUIPPA, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 18, 2004--Microlite Corporation
has certified the Panasonic OEM SW-9572 DVD MULTI Drive for use as a
backup and disaster recovery storage device under the UNIX and Linux
platforms.
The Panasonic OEM SW-9572 DVD MULTI Drive is part of the latest family
of DVD MULTI devices from Panasonic, supporting DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R,
CD-RW and CD-R media. Microlite BackupEDGE detects and supports each of
these formats automatically on the Panasonic OEM drive.
"Microlite's early adoption and support demonstrates and validates the
continued growth of the Recordable DVD industry and the support for
DVD-RAM as a cost effective, reliable storage medium for UNIX and
Linux," said Dana Berzin, Product Manager for Panasonic's OEM computer
drives. "Our DVD MULTI Drives provide users from a wide array of
industries with the flexibility, functionality and performance they
demand from their disaster recovery storage solutions."
"DVD capacity and pricing makes it a natural for backing up SMB
systems," said Tom Podnar, President of Microlite Corporation.
"Cartridge-encased DVD-RAM media is well-known as the most reliable of
the optical media formats for data storage, and we've re-engineered our
products to make maximum use of DVD media for data protection."
BackupEDGE 2.0 has features that combine to enhance the usefulness of
DVD as a reliable storage medium...
o Compression. Improved, standards-based compression can double or in
some cases even triple the net capacity of the media, extending
device usefulness to larger systems.
o Verification. Both bit-level verify and full-file checksum
verification ensures that archive integrity is intact, both at backup
time and months or even years later.
o Strong Encryption (optional). Provides maximum protection for those
planning strategies for HIPAA, PIPEDA or SB 1386 compliance, or just
wanting to better secure their data.
o Instant File Restore. Average access time to any file on a DVD
archive is under one second.
o Disaster Recovery. Every backup can be set to boot directly into
RecoverEDGE smart disaster recovery for safe, automated restore from
catastrophic system failure or other data loss, without requiring
operating system re-installation.
