Arkeia Data Protection Solutions Now Certified on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4


Red Hat First Annual Summit 2005

CARLSBAD, Calif.--June 1, 2005--Arkeia Corp. today announced Red Hat Ready certification of its flagship enterprise network backup software which now supports Red Hat(R) Enterprise Linux 4 environments for x86 platforms. As a member of the Red Hat Ready Partner program, Arkeia has added support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 to its existing product line, which already includes support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 and 3.

The "Red Hat Ready" Independent Software Vendor (ISV) application program allows vendors to test and qualify their software applications on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It is a key step in supporting Red Hat Enterprise Linux as a standard platform for enterprise computing. Customers who choose to deploy Red Hat Ready applications have the assurance that Arkeia software has completed rigorous testing on the latest versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and that Arkeia is compliant with Red Hat's stringent guidelines for interoperability.

Arkeia continues to maintain its position as the first professional network backup solution fully capable of protecting Linux environments of virtually all configurations. It offers the widest coverage in terms of architecture, including x86, Itanium-2, AMD Opteron, PowerPC, SPARC, Alpha, and appliances such as Sun Cobalt and SGI Altix servers. Arkeia supports a broad range of other operating systems, including Windows, Unix, Mac OS X, NetWare and xBSD.

"Red Hat Enterprise Linux has become a standard enterprise computing platform for Arkeia's customers," said Frederic Renard, director of marketing and alliances for Arkeia. "Our alignment with Red Hat through the Red Hat Ready program has been a collaborative, cost-effective method for getting our Linux applications to market as rapidly as possible."

-- Arkeia Server Backup for stand-alone data-critical servers that features a unique data volume based pricing;

-- Arkeia Network Backup for heterogeneous network backup based on a Linux or Unix backup server;
