BackupChain Backup Software Partners with Oter Informatica, Spain

Nov. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- FastNeuron Inc., a developer of Windows server backup software, announced today its cooperation with Oter Informatica S.L., a Hyper-V data center and service company based in Barcelona, Spain. The two companies work together to provide BackupChain Backup Software (http://BackupChain.com) to Spanish companies and offer local backup-related services to Spanish-speaking users.


Oter Informatica, S.L. (http://www.oterinformatica.com) headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, is a virtual infrastructure specialist providing Hyper-V server cluster hosting and consulting services to hundreds of Spanish organizations. Oter Informatica's offering includes a variety of virtualization-related services, as well as IT-related retail and Internet backup services.


Current economic conditions favor the export of US products to Eurozone countries, due to the long-term weakness of the U.S. dollar. At 1.40 USD per EUR, European companies have a hard time to compete with their U.S. counterparts, given the disadvantage the exchange rates impose on their export business. The relative strength of the Euro poses an opportunity to European consumers, however, who take advantage of the lower U.S. dollar rates and prefer to buy American products at a discount. As an U.S. company, FastNeuron Inc. experiences drastic increases in their exports to the Eurozone, including Spain.


The goal of the Spanish partnership is to aid Spanish SMBs in reducing their virtualization costs. The recent boom seen in Spanish Hyper-V Server installations is evidence for the fast-paced adoption of Microsoft's virtual machine technology; however, the increase in virtual host investments also necessitates an increase in data security spending. FastNeuron's partner, being an experienced virtual hosting provider to Spanish corporations, reduces its customer's virtual backup costs by deploying BackupChain Backup Software in its data centers and offering the product at its retail locations.


BackupChain Backup Software was developed to run optimally on VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V Server, Microsoft's free basic system and virtualization platform. Microsoft's release of Hyper-V has initiated a wave of worldwide virtualization adoption-especially at Spanish SMBs. After the initial hype SMB owners realized that hosting several virtual servers on the same physical machine imposes a higher risk of data loss on the company. While the risk of data loss may be reduced by deploying high-availability cluster server arrays, SMBs usually find this alternative too costly as it may nullify the overall advantage virtualization has to offer. Instead, SMBs are looking into efficient backup systems to hedge their risks, such as BackupChain.


As reported by FastNeuron's CTO Savas Papadopoulos, SMBs demand organization-wide licensing and live virtual machine backup. BackupChain Backup Software brings relief to SMBs by offering package deals and delta compression technology, which dramatically reduces backup storage costs. The company's CTO emphasized that using delta compression organizations are able to reduce backup storage costs by at least 30%. Moreover, this new technology enables SMBs to back up their virtual machines remotely, even via standard FTP. This compatibility to existing infrastructure, and the ability to create live virtual machine backups while the servers are in operation makes BackupChain the product of choice for data centers, which usually rely on standard open-source technologies to reduce their hosting costs.


The availability of a local and Spanish-speaking support base is a great advantage to Spanish BackupChain users. Furthermore, the strategic partnership combines the backup software offering with the numerous local services provided by the Spanish partner, which include consulting and hosting support.
