Storix® Improves Offsite Backup Management

San Diego – July 18, 2013– Storix, Inc., the leader in bare-metal recovery solutions for Linux and Unix systems, today announced the general availability of System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin) version 8.1.2.0.

About SBAdmin

SBAdmin provides Adaptable System Recovery (ASR), the ability to rebuild Linux, Solaris, or AIX systems from bare-metal, giving customers the flexibility to alter the configuration as needed to fit onto any hardware or virtual configuration. The power and flexibility of ASR greatly reduces downtime during disasters or planned outages, exceeding the user’s RTO. SBAdmin can also be used for provisioning/cloning of multiple systems and software storage alteration for improved system availability, recoverability and performance.
