Continuity Solution
January 7, 2008
Customers to Benefit from Software that Delivers Local and Remote
Replication with Continuous Data Protection
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Mainline Information Systems, a
leading IBM Premier Business Partner, and InMage Systems, Inc., the leading
provider of business continuity and disaster recovery software, today announced
they have signed a strategic agreement to bring InMage's flagship DR-Scout to
Mainline's customers. The channel partnership addresses mid-sized and enterprise
customer demand for scalable, heterogeneous disaster recovery solutions.
"Many factors in today's business environment are driving the need for products
like DR-Scout, stemming from rapid data growth, shrinking backup windows and
regulatory compliance pressures," said Bill Colestock, Vice President of Mainline's
Storage Business Unit. "We are pleased to continue in the tradition of providing our
customers with pioneering technologies like DR-Scout that protect information
assets and maximize business productivity while decreasing total cost of
ownership."
"Our partnership with Mainline, one of IBM's top solutions providers, and the
introduction of the InMage solution to their customers, validates the need for DR-
Scout's heterogeneous disaster recovery capabilities in today's market," said Chris
Stack, Director of North American Channel Sales for InMage. "By leveraging our
innovative products and Mainline's highly experienced team, mid-tier and enterprise
customers can benefit from superior disaster recovery, operational recovery, and
24x7 application/data availability."
Utilizing true continuous data protection, DR-Scout offers an integrated solution for
disaster recovery and continuous local backup. In the event of a disruption or
disaster, applications can be failed over and back with the click of a button.
Customers can recover their data in seconds or minutes with DR-Scout versus old
processes that would take hours or days. This heterogeneous, automated solution is
easier to use and more flexible than replication/snapshot solutions, and is more
efficient at data recovery than VTL or DeDupe technologies.
