Sonasoft Cuts Prices on Backup and Recovery Software

Sonasoft, a provider of integrated and automated solutions for archiving, disaster recovery and data backup/recovery for SMBs, has announced a price-reduction program for its Sonasoft Backup and Recovery product.

Effective immediately and available through Dec. 31, 2009, the price is reduced to $499 for SonaExchange and $399 for its SonaSQL backup and recovery solution. The special promotion includes 250 mailboxes with SonaExchange.

Microsoft Exchange and SQL Servers are continually backed up using Sonasoft SonaExchange and SonaSQL products, to meet recovery point objectives (the point in time to which users must recover data as defined by the organization) and recovery time objectives (the maximum tolerable length of time that a computer, system, network or application can be down after a failure or disaster occurs) and ensure recovery of Exchange Stores, mailboxes and SQL Server databases in case data is corrupted on the server.

Sonasoft also offers replication for Microsoft Exchange and SQL Servers through its SonaVault, SonaExchange Replicator and SonaSQL Replicator and Email Archiving with e-discovery capabilities products.

“We recognize that in this economy, it is difficult for businesses to include new products into their budgeting cycles while many are facing expense control or cost reductions,” said Sonasoft President and CEO Andy Khanna. “We are confident this price reduction will make a strong and compelling case for the investment in the Sonasoft automated backup solution.”

Sonasoft's disk-to-disk disaster recovery system allows data to be stored on the same server, DAS (direct-attached storage), NAS (network-attached storage) or IP SAN (IP storage area network) using SonaSafe as often as once per minute. In the case of a hardware or software failure, SonaSafe can recover the information to a new server or a backup device at disk transfer and LAN speeds. One Gigabit LAN support is standard. For companies that cannot tolerate any downtime, SonaSafe Point-Click Recovery has the ability to create a redundant, standby server, able to go online immediately.

The company’s SonaSafe solution for e-mail archiving is designed to meet regulatory compliance needs of organizations. SonaSafe is designed to capture all incoming, outgoing and internal e-mails and store them in archive databases as a Single Instance Store (SIS). Also, by use of “stubbing,” message contents including attachments will be saved in the archive database and leave behind an empty shell of the message, namely a “stub,” in the body of the e-mail. SonaSafe Email Archiving solution supports Exchange Server 2000, 2003 and 2007.
