current WANSync deployment.
New York, NY, September 3, 2003 – XOsoft, a leading provider
of Business
Continuity software solutions, today announced that it has
released a new
beta version of WANSync for the Linux platform. WANSync,
which until
recently supported Windows and SunOS-based platforms, is a
state-of-the-art
WAN-based application integrity and availability solution.
WANSync ensures
seamless availability by synchronizing entire application
and database
servers to remote replicas, and keeping them fresh and
available with
continuous, real-time replication. With the new beta
release, the same level
of business continuity can now be attained in Linux-based
environments.
The amount of freedom afforded by solutions based on open
source, their low
cost and the fast pace of innovation that they encourage
have driven the
Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, like
many other
organizations, to make investments in Linux-based
infrastructure. Given the
peace of mind it has achieved using WANSync on its
Windows-based servers so
far, it seems only natural that the Federal Reserve Board
would be compelled
expand its existing disaster recovery solution by adding
WANSync security to
its Linux-based servers.
“WANSync’s performance has always proven to be very high,”
says Jerald
Brown, a senior communications analyst with the Federal
Reserve Board. “It
presents negligible bandwidth overhead during server
replication to our
remote office over T3 lines,” he adds. “Even when network
equipment
malfunctions, we’ve seen WANSync just keep on working,
securing server files
without any noticeable problems. We’re obviously interested
in the same
level of security and business continuity for our
Linux-based servers.”
“XOsoft has always made it its goal to lead the business
continuity market,”
says Leonid Shtilman, Founder and CEO of XOsoft Inc. “In
keeping with that
tradition, I am proud to say that WANSync is the very first
solution of its
kind available for the Linux platform”. He goes on to say
that, “the WANSync
solutions chosen by the Federal Reserve represent the most
advanced
WAN-based application integrity and availability platform on
the market.
Ensuring seamless availability, WANSync synchronizes entire
application
servers and constantly replicates updates and changes to
either local or
remote replicas in real time. Should a server fail for any
reason, a
geographically remote WANSync replica will simply take its
place and provide
the fastest path to recovery.”
