BackupChain Virtual Machine Backup Software Announces Partnership with Oter Informatica, Spain

Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A. - November 16, 2010 - FastNeuron Inc., a provider of virtualization server backup solutions, announced today its partnership with Oter Informatica S.L., a virtualization consulting and hosting service company in Barcelona, Spain. The collaboration between the two virtualization companies is to extend the reach and support of BackupChain Backup Software (http://BackupChain.com/index.html) users in the Spanish market with local representation.

Oter Informatica, S.L. (www.oterinformatica.com) is a leading provider of Hyper-V server virtualization services in Barcelona, Spain, and specializes in providing high-availability virtual hosting services to the Spanish market. Furthermore, Oter Informatica is a leading online retailer and remote backup provider in Spain and has been offering backup solutions and services to the Spanish audience for many years.

The European economy compared with the US market is currently witnessing a boom in both customer purchases of foreign products and government spending. The euro in comparison with the US dollar is now relatively stable at purchasing 1.40 US dollars for every Euro. This stability and strength of the Euro has further encouraged Europeans to seek out US products at a currency discount. The currency situation is hence also lucrative for U.S. businesses that expand abroad as their products are priced well below European alternatives.

FastNeuron Inc. and Oter Informatica cooperate to meet the data replication needs of SMBs who increasingly invest in virtualization platforms. In particular, Microsoft Hyper-V Server has been gaining in popularity in Spain and the resulting upsurge in server migrations to virtual environments dramatically increased the data backup costs for hosting companies. The alliance of FastNeuron and Oter Informatica aims to reduce these costs by deploying BackupChain Backup Software in Spanish hosting centers.

In addition to VMware, BackupChain Backup Software targets Microsoft's free virtualization platform Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, which has sparked a worldwide adoption of virtual machines at low cost. Since virtualization relies on hosting several servers virtually at the same time, the risk of data loss has effectively multiplied. One solution to counteract the risk of data loss is to invest in server clusters. To many SMBs, however, the costs of high-availability clusters remain prohibitive and may even neutralize the economic gain that results from virtualization in some settings. The solution to the problem is usually to invest in a more efficient backup system.

"What our users value the most is our flat licensing model, our reliable live virtual machine backup features, and our proprietary delta compression technology", explains FastNeuron's CTO Savas Papadopoulos. For larger data centers the cost of backups and backup software can quickly become prohibitive. For that reason, BackupChain is also offered through volume licensing and organization-wide licenses. “The costs of backup storage should also not be underestimated. BackupChain's delta compression generates virtual machine histories that span months rather than days on the same backup media using efficient file version differencing. The smaller backups result in less storage and smaller bandwidth requirements if the virtual machines are backed up remotely using FTP."

BackupChain users in Spain also benefit from the partnership with Oter Informatica by having access to a local representative and personal support along with the hosting and consulting services offered. The ability to make hot virtual machine backups, that is to back up virtual machines while they are running, is an additional, crucial benefit to customers who desire their servers to remain up and running continuously.
