Zmanda™, the leader in open source backup and data protection, today announced that its Zmanda Recovery Manager
(ZRM) for MySQL is now available with the Zmanda Management Console - a
set of powerful graphical tools designed to simplify and accelerate the
complex process of MySQL database backup and recovery. ZRM
with the Zmanda Management Console can dramatically reduce the workload
of a MySQL database administrator (DBA) while providing
enterprise-class, MySQL-specific backup and recovery.
"Backing
up MySQL data is a business-critical task for DBAs at thousands of Web
2.0 companies and other data-driven enterprises," said Dmitri
Joukovski, Zmanda's vice president of Product Management. "ZRM is the
only comprehensive backup solution that addresses the unique needs of
MySQL databases -- such as multiple database storage engines. The new
graphical management console means secure, scalable enterprise-grade
MySQL backup is more manageable than ever."
ZRM: Open Source Backup Solution Specifically for MySQL
Zmanda's
ZRM for MySQL is the only comprehensive, enterprise-class backup and
recovery solution designed specifically for MySQL databases. An open
source solution, ZRM delivers robust backup and recovery functionality
to help MySQL DBAs prevent the serious damage caused by data loss in
the event of system or database failure.
ZRM is different from traditional backup solutions that simply provide
an agent for MySQL as part of a more general, system-wide backup
process. It features MySQL-specific functionality, such as storage
engine awareness, to meet the enterprise-class requirements of the
MySQL DBA.
The new version of ZRM includes a range of updates and additions to deliver added simplicity, security, flexibility and support:
- Simplicity
- Zmanda's new comprehensive Management Console for ZRM lets MySQL DBAs
graphically explore MySQL database servers and choose which database
and/or tables to back up. It also gives DBAs the power to choose where,
when and how the backup will occur and to create detailed reports.
- Security
- ZRM allows DBAs to delegate responsibility and set specific
privileges of MySQL databases within their database network.
- Flexibility
- Zmanda has added plug-in support to ZRM for MySQL, allowing partners
and DBAs to create their own plug-ins to drive snapshot mechanisms.
- 24/7
Enterprise-Class Support - For those customers who need the extra level
of support, Zmanda has now offers round-the-clock, 24 x 7 Premium
support.
"As the role of the DBA has become more complex,
simplifying critical ongoing operational processes like data backup
have become increasingly important," said Robin Schumacher, MySQL's
director of Product Management. "Zmanda's ZRM with the new management
console can make backing up MySQL data much easier, giving DBAs the
peace of mind that their MySQL data is protected, even in demanding
production environments."
