100 U.S Government Agencies Leverage Arkeia Solutions to Maximize Data Protection

Carlsbad, Calif., March 18, 2008 – Arkeia Software, the leading provider of powerful, innovative data protection solutions, today announced another impressive milestone in the company’s history – it has secured 100 government customers. Arkeia solutions are now deployed throughout 100 state and local government agencies to deliver reliable, rapid data protection of business-critical information.

Arkeia solutions have been deployed throughout nine of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) major flight and research centers, three of the United States Army divisions, three of the United States Drug Associations divisions, and throughout city offices from Los Angeles to Key West.

“We have continually increased our government presence and expanded our footprint across state and local agencies since the launch of the Arkeia EdgeFort backup appliance and Arkeia Network Backup software,” said Dave Elliott, general manager, Americas & Asia at Arkeia Software. “Arkeia Network Backup offers flexible deployment options which allow government agencies to implement highly granular and customizable data protection policies across large distributed environments.”

“Arkeia has proven scalable and flexible, and their deep support for Linux has made them an ideal fit for NASA,” said Tomik Abrahamian, storage consultant at Jet Propulsion Laboratories in Pasadena, California. “Arkeia understands what a large, complex data environment requires and we look forward to extending our relationship with Arkeia by testing the EdgeFort backup appliance in our remote locations.”
