September 22, 2004, South San Francisco,
CA Acronis, Inc., the technological leader in storage
management software, announced that the Cowan Insurance Group
(Cowan) of Waterloo, Ont., Canada, has standardized on Acronis True
Image Server 8.0 for Windows and Server 8.0
for Linux, the latest version of Acronis' award-winning disk
imaging, disaster recovery
and bare-metal backup and restore utility.
The software allows for real-time image
creation, which not only reduces creation time, it also drastically
reduces server restoration in a disaster recovery situation. This
provides a larger window for recovery procedures and gets employees
up and running in hours not days.
"Cowan required a backup and disaster recovery
approach that would have no performance impact to our production
systems," explained David Thomson, VP Information Technology, Cowan
Insurance Group. "Any backup operation that affected the system
performance would have adversely affected our ability to assist
clients and business partners. We need access to our databases in a
timely manner. Acronis provided us with a solution that should help
reduce our storage and data management costs while enabling us to
respond more quickly to changing business needs."
"While Acronis True Image Server was originally
conceived as a solution for the small to midsize business market,
the fit with Cowan demonstrates its flexibility in large
enterprises that require point-in-time backups of databases," said
Max Tsypliaev, president of Acronis Inc. "Ensuring data
availability and maintaining peak system performance were the
company's key requirements, and Acronis True Image Server met their
needs."
In addition to backup and disaster recovery
capabilities, Acronis True Image Server also allows Cowan to clone
server drives. This is invaluable when expanding a server farm
quickly with the minimum of configuration time.
Cowan began the rollout of Acronis True Image
Server in August.
