PHOENIX, April 5, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Storage Networking World - Yosemite Technologies, a leading developer of multi-platform backup and recovery software solutions for the small-to-medium enterprise (SME) market announced today that it has joined the Oracle(r) PartnerNetwork (OPN). The new partnership is a springboard for launching Yosemite's new Database Aware Backup Agent for Oracle for its award winning TapeWare(r) 7 product line. The offering is designed to provide Oracle(r) (Nasdaq:ORCL) Database users with a powerful, 24x7 backup solution.
Joining OPN allows Yosemite to leverage Oracle's leading market position to serve a broader range of customer need. The partnership also provides Yosemite with access to Oracle partner services as well as many other web-based sales, technology and marketing resources, which are designed to enhance Yosemite's value proposition and broaden its opportunities.
"The Oracle PartnerNetwork is the perfect opportunity for Yosemite to expand its presence in the backup software market. We now have the benefits and support that OPN has to offer in reaching out to the millions of SMEs that utilize Oracle Database," stated Kevin Reinis, chief executive officer of Yosemite Technologies. "Yosemite knows 24x7 data access and protection are crucial in maintaining these mission-critical environments. With our Database Aware Backup Agent for Oracle, we are providing Oracle customers with a powerful, scaleable, cost-effective backup solution that enables them to protect their vital data on a 24x7 basis."
The TapeWare Database Aware Backup Agent for Oracle provides a reliable, cost-effective solution that delivers online backup and recovery of Oracle8i and Oracle9i Databases on supported Windows, Linux and Solaris platforms.
The solution provides support for object-level granularity, which gives administrators the ability to select individual database files and archive logs and/or associated control files. Customers using Oracle Database get the benefit of backing-up their data while the database remains online and completely accessible. Oracle users can leverage TapeWare's ability to backup up to eight concurrent data streams per tape drive for fast data transfer. Users also get the benefit of TapeWare's modular architecture so they can increase their TapeWare capacity as their business grows. TapeWare offers complete, automated tape media management and an intuitive, wizard drive user interface for easy installation and use.
"The database market is really beginning to focus on the SME so it is necessary for back up and recovery solution providers to offer tools and services that best complement and protect an SME's database infrastructure," stated Carolyn DiCenzo, vice president in Gartner Research, Storage Software. "Today's business runs 24x7, so SMEs must have a solution that not only supports their database, but provides access at all times and ensures vital data is protected at all times."
Yosemite's Database Aware Oracle Backup Agent will be available late March 2004. For more information on the solution, please visit the company's web site at www.yosemitetech.com.
