Mission-critical servers and workstations now protected 24/7/365
August 24, 2005, South San Francisco, CA
Acronis, Inc., the technological leader in storage management
software, announced that the Fayetteville Public Library, winner of
the 2005 Thomson Gale / Library Journal Library of the
Year award, selected Acronis True Image Server for Windows and
Acronis True Image Corporate Workstation to protect all of its
mission-critical servers and key workstations.
The servers are used to run specific library
applications such as the Polaris® Integrated Library System,
Microsoft Office, IIS, SQL Server, Exchange, authentication
systems, lighting and HVAC control applications, and accounting
software. The library, founded in Fayetteville, AR, in1916, has a
collection that encompasses more than 190,000 items, including
books, audio-visual items, and periodical titles.
"The Fayetteville Public Library is very pleased
with Acronis True Image," said Nima Khamooshi, IT manager for the
library system. "We feel much better knowing we have a good image
of our systems to go back to if we need to recover an entire
system, saving hours of time in restoration and
computer troubleshooting individual problems.
"We've been able to avoid purchasing additional
hardware and tapes for backup," Khamooshi added. "If something
breaks, no problem we just roll it back with Acronis True Image.
In fact, shortly after installing the software, we had occasion to
use it when unplanned software changes brought down a server. We
were able to restore the server completely in minutes, saving
valuable staff time."
"Acronis is proud to provide the Fayetteville
Public Library with the tools it needs to protect its valuable
assets," said Max Tsypliaev, CEO of Acronis. "If books and
audio-visual materials are the heart and soul of a library, then
the operations that keep the facilities open to the public are the
blood."
"Taking the metaphor to the next level, not even
a virus or malware will harm the library's servers. Having a clean,
complete image of all the mission-critical servers means that the
library system will always be able to return to a known, good
state, regardless of how serious the system damage becomes."
"Serving government and public sector facilities
means that often you are dealing with understaffed IT departments
that cannot bring to bear the kinds of resources found in some
commercial enterprises," said Stephen Lawton, director of
marketing. "Acronis True Image Server and Acronis True Image
Corporate Workstation are designed to be intuitive to operate and
not need special training.
"One critical need of the library was that
whatever solution it selected must operate 24/7/365 and allow the
library to recover from an emergency in minutes, not hours or
days," he continued. "Not only did Acronis meet this requirement,
but it also eliminated the need for the library to spend additional
funds on special-purpose hardware that otherwise was not
required."
Terms of the agreement were not released.
