SAN DIEGO --(BUSINESS WIRE)--
BakBone Software(R) (Pink Sheets:BKBO), a global provider of heterogeneous integrated data protection solutions, has won the "Storage Replication Product of the Year" award for BakBone NetVault: Replicator. Sponsored by the UK publication Storage, this award is voted on by the magazine's readership. For this year's awards program, over 4,000 readers voted for their favorite products and companies. BakBone won top honors in the replication category over CA, Double-Take, Isilon, FalconStor, HP, IBM and Symantec.

Mike Scott, head of technology operations at Rightmove, the UK's largest property portal, said, "NetVault: Replicator is a key component of our disaster recovery plan, delivering the convenience and peace of mind that comes from knowing that critical business and customer data can be easily accessed in the event of a disaster. We also use it to replicate data to remote locations for faster access and availability."
"I am thrilled that BakBone NetVault: Replicator has won this award because it was voted on by the readers, our users. By choosing us they have told the industry that our solution is a cut above the competition, that it is simply a better product," said Chris Ross, vice president of EMEA at BakBone. "Although many vendors try to make things seem complex to confuse their customers, this is not rocket science; organizations want reliable, easy-to-use, affordable products that they can simply drop into any environment and forget about. This is how we have developed BakBone's solutions, and by voting for NetVault: Replicator, end-users have told us they agree."


NetVault: Replicator provides enterprise-class capabilities to help plan and prepare for disaster recovery scenarios. Offering automated, real-time, and scheduled replication operations, NetVault: Replicator is an essential disaster recovery component and delivers the redundancy required by today's global commercial enterprises. Enabling bi-directional operations and flexible configuration options across Linux, Solaris and Windows platforms, NetVault: Replicator efficiently, and in real-time, replicates file system data and distributes content between multiple, distributed sites over any IP network.


Unlike other point products available on the market today, which only support homogeneous environments and lack integration with other storage management applications, NetVault: Replicator offers the industry's most comprehensive, cross-platform replication between different heterogeneous environments.

NetVault: Replicator integrates with BakBone's award-winning backup and recovery software, NetVault: Backup, to keep data highly available. This is in accordance with BakBone's strategy of enabling Integrated Data Protection using customers' existing infrastructure investments.
