Zmanda announced the launch of its enterprise data backup solution, Amazon S3 for Amazon Simple Storage Service, which can be used by companies deploying Zmanda’s backup software, Amanda Enterprise. This gives them the ability to easily back-up, archive, and recover data any time over the Internet.

 

Armed with Zmanda’s security and support Amazon S3 comes as a complete data backup and disaster recovery solution for all businesses.

 

“The combination of Zmanda’s affordable open source back-up software and Amazon’s online storage solution will fundamentally change the way businesses backup and archive corporate data,” said Chander Kant, Zmanda CEO. “With Zmanda and Amazon S3, virtually any business can afford the luxury of remote Internet storage that is immediately available, infinitely scalable, and secure.”

 

Amazon S3 makes use of a reliable, fast, and inexpensive data storage infrastructure which Amazon employs for its global network of Web sites. Amazon S3 has the capabilities of high levels of fault tolerance and redundancy, good performance even with fluctuating load conditions and can exhibit limitless scalability, according to Zmanda.

The “pay as you grow” scheme makes Amazon S3 suitable for SMBs projecting immense growth.

 

Amanda Enterprise offered backup and recovery solutions for corporate data for businesses with the help of backup on tape or disk. Now Amazon S3 offers additional and convenient data backup, archiving and recovery with a remote storage solution.

 

“Zmanda is a prime example of a visionary company that quickly leveraged Amazon S3 to make robust off-site backups easily available to their customers,” said Steve Rabuchin, director of Developer Relations for Amazon Web Services. “With the open source Amanda Enterprise and Amazon S3, organizations can eliminate the headaches associated with backup tapes and have enterprise-grade secure backup to a remote storage solution, something that was previously cost prohibitive to many organizations,”
