WD, a Western Digital company,
announced an expansion of its product portfolio addressing small- and
medium-sized businesses with the addition of network backup software and
appliances from Arkeia Software, Inc., a privately held data protection
company based in Carlsbad, Calif., recently acquired by WD. WD also announced
that the Arkeia Network Backup version 10.0 software, for which a release
candidate was delivered in Dec. 2012, becomes generally available (http://www.arkeia.com/new-in-v100)
today.
“Arkeia’s products expand
WD’s growing product portfolio of solutions for small- and medium-sized
businesses,” said Jim Welsh, executive vice president and general manager of
WD’s Branded and CE products. “SMB organizations are managing ever-growing
volumes of critical business data, which need to be stored, shared and secured.
Our easy-to-manage small storage server, WD Sentinel™ DX4000, provides backup
and storage centralization capabilities for small businesses and workgroups,
while Arkeia’s network backup software provides a more feature-rich
data-protection solution for larger SMB customers.”
