Kaseya Enhances Backup and Disaster Recovery Solution With Application Protection Software From AppAssure

RESTON, VA--(Marketwire - May 13, 2009) - AppAssure, a leading provider of enterprise-class backup and disaster recovery software purpose-built for Windows applications, today announced that its continuous application protection software, Replay AppImage, has been selected by Kaseya as a new component of its expanding backup and disaster recovery (BU-DR) solution. Kaseya, the global leader in information technology (IT) automation software for IT solution providers and public and private sector organizations, will use Replay AppImage to offer next-generation application backup for Microsoft environments. With AppAssure's flagship solution, Kaseya's already comprehensive BU-DR module will, for the first time, support corruption detection and rapid message-level restore for Microsoft Exchange users.

With nearly 4 million endpoints utilized by nearly 4000 customers, Kaseya provides its BU-DR module to both enterprise customers as well as managed service providers, which in turn, must assure reliable service levels to their customers. This new technology partnership between Kaseya and AppAssure furthers Kaseya's ability to meet even the most stringent service level agreements (SLAs) while enabling its BU-DR module customers to use the familiar Kaseya user interface to configure backup schedules, view backup logs, and perform complete recovery in Microsoft server environments. Through this centrally managed, remote environment, Kaseya customers can leverage AppAssure technology to easily recover from any type of failure -- from complex bare-metal restores to simple individual email message recovery -- with just a few clicks.

"Kaseya is committed to providing customers with the best business continuity solutions to optimize their delivery model, service model and overall SLAs," said Kaseya CEO Gerald Blackie. "AppAssure's powerful server backup and disaster recovery solution enables us to enhance our recovery capabilities and methods so that customers know that they can always recover the information they need, when and how they need it.
