[Chris]

We still need to get details up on our website but our new Rochen Vault enterprise backup and recovery platform is now included free of charge with all new Rochen accounts. Attached below is the official press release regarding this new service.

Traditional Backups Don't Cut Web 2.0 World says Rochen!

Rochen announces partnership with R1Soft to launch enterprise imaging backup platform.

Rochen Limited (www.rochenhost.com), a leading provider of business-class web hosting and reseller hosting solutions, today announced a partnership with R1Soft (www.r1soft.com) to deploy their Continuous Data Protection (CDP) technology across its server fleet providing an enterprise-level backup solution for all of their customers as standard. The new service will be branded as "Rochen Vault" and offered free of charge from today to all customers hosted by Rochen out of their Dallas, Texas co-location space.

Running CDP on a Network Access Storage (NAS) platform connected directly via a gigabit Cisco-powered private Local Area Network (LAN) to the server fleet, Rochen will capture hourly imaging snapshots. Rochen will retain snapshots of all their servers' hard disks from multiple points in time including one hour, six hours, twelve hours, twenty-four hours, forty-eight hours, one week and one month ago.

In a disaster recovery situation Rochen can quickly replace failed hardware and if need be rapidly re-image a server to operational status using any of the CDP snapshots without the need for reloading the Operating System (OS) or control panel software first. This means vastly reduced downtime and data loss compared to the conventional backup and restore systems offered by most hosting providers.

"As well as providing a fantastic disaster recovery tool to work in conjunction with our current backup and redundancy systems such as hardware RAID-10 with hot-spare disks, local server backups and off-site NAS file backups CDP will provide a revolutionary platform allowing our customers instant access to their backups directly through our Rochen Vault recovery site. Customers have the ability to roll-back their entire account or select individual files to roll back on the fly from any seed we have stored for them" said Ben Johnson, Head of Systems Engineering at Rochen.

David Wartell, CEO & Founder of R1Soft, added: "Being able to provide a nearly-continuous data protection solution to Rochen will help solve their initial goal when contacting us, which was the need to further protect their clients’ data."

"With more businesses creating executive blogs, launching company discussion forums and deploying dynamic Web 2.0 applications where data is changing far more frequently than it did in the past daily backup systems just don't cut it anymore," said Rochen CEO Chris Adams. "Moreover, with increasing amounts of data traditional systems simply can't deliver acceptable restoration times. We are going to continue investing heavily over the next year in bringing a whole range of enterprise tools like CDP to our shared and reseller hosting customers to help meet this changing hosting landscape; this is really only the beginning!"

Representatives from Rochen will be giving a live demonstration of Rochen Vault at Google's Headquarters in Mountain View, CA on May 12th 2007, as part of an event being held by Google for the Joomla! Content Management System (CMS).
