Privately held dedicated hosting company, The Planet, has launched its Alpha Managed Backup, as an advanced services offering, to provide a fully

customizable solution.

Todd Mitchell, General Manager for advanced services of The Planet noted, ”There’s an almost-daily report of data loss at companies around the world, which

can easily lead to a loss of revenue, as well as significant reputation damage. With Alpha Managed Backup, customers gain peace of mind by leaving the

management of their data protection to a team of seasoned professionals. Our dedicated Advanced Services team ensures that customer servers are consistently

backed up, safeguarding against critical data loss.”

The new Advanced Services offering is designed to provide customers with managed backup for dedicated server data. The product is the fourth solution to be

added to the Alpha Advanced Services portfolio, which includes Alpha Server Monitoring, Alpha Server Security and Alpha Server Administration.

With the new solution, customers can leave the management of data backup and restores to The Planet’s team of dedicated hosting professionals. Daily backups

are continuously monitored, with issues or failures automatically corrected. Customers are also alerted when they near the limits of their existing storage

space. Alpha Managed Backup stores customer data on a high-performance, fault-tolerant storage platform, backed by The Planet’s world-class infrastructure

and SAS 70 Type II data centers.

Alpha Managed Backup is priced at $40 for 20GB of storage space. Additional backup space is priced at $1 per GB, available in 20GB increments. The solution

includes five data restores per month, with a one-time fee for additional restores.

Self-managed solutions in the Planet Alpha storage and data protection portfolio include: Data Protection Servers with continuous data protection and

bare-metal recovery; R1Soft CDPServer software, which can be layered on to any server; EVault Backup that leverages EVault software for an easy-to-use backup

solution; and Network Backup, which provides backup and archiving space available directly to customer applications and tools.
