BRU Introduces First Linux Backup Solution For Itantium-Based Systems, Tested On Dell Poweredge Platform
SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(INTERNET WIRE)--Nov 29, 2001-- The TOLIS Group, Inc., a Talented Organization Leveraging Intelligent Solutions, today announces their BRU(TM) based Linux solutions are the first to provide proven data protection on Linux systems powered by Intel(R) Itanium(TM) processors. The compliance testing was completed on Dell's PowerEdge 7150 systems.
The advent of the Itanium processor unleashes new computational power. TOLIS, like Dell, has taken early 64-bit processing initiative by upgrading BRU and BRU-Pro algorithms in key areas of data management to optimize performance and compliance within the Itanium architecture. These enhancements mean customers that choose to use BRU on Dell's PowerEdge 7150 systems, or other Itanium-based systems, will enjoy peace-of-mind knowing their back-up data has been fully verified and can be accurately restored.
"It's been a pleasure to work with Dell to benchmark and verify that our data protection solutions are fully compatible with Intel's Itanium processors," said Tim Jones, president of the TOLIS Group. "The Itanium processor is all about moving data faster, and we've prepared our products in advance to take full advantage of the increased performance afforded by 64-bit processing."
"The Itanium processor delivers performance, reliability and scalability for data-intensive application segments such as large database management and data mining," said Lisa Hambrick, director of Enterprise Processor Marketing at Intel. "The BRU backup products will enable Linux users to protect this critical data on their Itanium-based systems."
Entrance into the 64-bit world can pose challenges to traditional approaches to safely manage data that is now traveling on a significantly faster highway. Updated to support 64-bit processing, BRU and BRU-Pro solutions are immediately available to help assure the safety of critical data on small to large Linux networks utilizing local or remote backup devices.
