Novosoft Releases Handy Backup 6.6 to Enhance Enterprise Backup

Novosoft, one of the leading vendors of backup software worldwide, has announced the release of Handy Backup 6.6, a new version of backup software for Windows Server-based networks and individual PCs. The changes include improvements to server backup functions used to work with Microsoft SQL and Exchange Servers, and to an engine responsible for transferring data via FTP.

“It’s been almost a year since Handy Backup received Microsoft’s Works with Windows Server 2008 logo, and its compatibility with Microsoft’s server solutions made an important contribution to this certification,” – said Alexander Prichalov, head of Novosoft’s development department. “Since then, we’ve made a lot of great enhancements, and it’s a great pleasure to see the interest to Handy Backup from corporate users increasing with each new release.”

Novosoft’s Handy Backup is famous for its extensible architecture, where all backup jobs are performed by so-called plug-ins that can be updated and improved independently of the program’s core. Server-specific plug-ins include MS Exchange, MS SQL, IBM DB2, IBM Lotus, Oracle and Database Backup.

Open-Xchange Introduces Advanced Server Edition

Open-Xchange announced the availability of Open-Xchange Advanced Server Edition as a lower cost alternative to Microsoft Exchange and Sharepoint for educational institutions, public administrations and small- and medium-size businesses.

Open-Xchange Advanced Server Edition combines the leading open-source groupware with the Debian-based enterprise Linux Univention Corporate Server. The integrated directory services and web-based graphical administration interface significantly reduces administrative costs — user rights/permissions, groups, and resources can be easily, centrally managed.

“Open-Xchange Advanced Server Edition provides organizations from 50 to 5,000 users
with an alternative to Microsoft Exchange,” said Rafael Laguna, CEO of Open-Xchange. “We’re delivering function that goes beyond the Microsoft Exchange and Sharepoint stacks for lower cost.”

Open-Xchange makes communication easier and teamwork more efficient by providing users with integrated tools for e-mail, calendar, address book, document and task management. Its innovative “Social OX” simplifies the aggregation of e-mail and contact information — personal and business. All data is presented clearly and can be edited quickly using the intuitive AJAX-based web interface. Microsoft Outlook on Windows and the applications Mail, Address Book and iCal on Mac OS X can be used as well. And, with mobility support, Open-Xchange gives users access to their data anywhere, anytime and with virtually any device.

Open-Xchange Advanced Server Edition completes the on-premises Open-Xchange offerings and is positioned between single server Open-Xchange Appliance Edition and the customizable Server Edition. Advanced Server Edition includes centralized server management and software monitoring and software distribution — even in different locations. It enables the LDAP directory and Microsoft Active Directory to be used in parallel.
