Arkeia Software

Company

Arkeia Software Innovates.

Arkeia Software is the only backup software company to deliver its software in three modes: as a virtual appliance, as a physical appliance, and as a traditional software application.

Our virtual appliance is available on the VMware ESX and ESXi platforms.  These appliances, introduced in early 2009, are ideal for organizations that have embraced virtualized environments.

Our physical appliances, formerly known as Edgefort, were first delivered in 2007. These appliances are ideal for ROBO (remote-office / branch-office) sites without full-time information technology staffs.

In Version 8 of the Arkeia Network Backup Suite, Arkeia delivers solutions for virtualized environments, including Backup Agents for  VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisors.

Arkeia Software provides proven backup solutions for networked systems. We deliver award-winning data protection software, physical appliances and virtual appliances to companies worldwide. Today, Arkeia Software products protect more than 100,000 networks for 7,000 customers in 70 countries.

Arkeia (pronounced ar-KEY-yuh), beginning in 1996, was the first company to deliver enterprise-grade backup solutions for the Linux market.   We continue to provide near-universal support for Linux distributions and Open Source applications, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL and OpenLDAP.

Our flagship software, Arkeia Network Backup, today supports 150 platforms including Linux, Macintosh, Netware, UNIX, and Windows systems. We deliver hot file backup modules for a dozen popular applications (like Exchange and Lotus Domino servers), database management systems (like ORACLE and MS SQL), and virtual machine environments (like VMware ESX). Our backup servers can be managed either via our web-based GUIs or via command-line interfaces.

We offer single-backup-server solutions for small companies, as well as federated, WAN-distributed, multi-server solutions for mid- and large-scale enterprises. According to customer requirements, Arkeia Backup Servers can be deployed as a software application, as a physical appliance, or as a virtual appliance.

Of course, whether your deployments are virtual appliances, physical appliances, software applications, or heterogeneous, all our products mesh seamlessly.  Install Arkeia Backup Agents on client machines and deploy the backup server as a traditional Software Application. If you migrate your Backup Servers to virtual or physical appliances, you don't need to modify the Agents.

Deployments of Arkeia software span manufacturing, services, education, and government. Customers include Bacardi, Diebold, Ericsson, NASA, and Orange.

As backup software specialists, we focus on delivering rock-solid backup solutions that deliver all enterprise-class capabilities—without the complexity that would require a team of software administrators to deploy. Unlike other vendors, we have not assembled a patchwork of acquired technologies. Our product has expanded organically, without acquisitions. Our technical vision has been driven by a stable, talented engineering team. As a result, we have the cleanest backup architecture available in the market.

Arkeia Software provides cost-effective solutions for small-, medium-, and enterprise-scale environments. Our delivered direct and through a global network of distributors and value-added reseller (VAR) partners. Our technical support organization provides 24x7 web, email, and telephone support from offices in California and Europe.
