An open source ISV is creating an enormous impact on the backup and recovery software market. Zmanda, based in Sunnyvale, California, is the maker of Zmanda Recovery Manager (ZRM), an open source solution that provides a simple, reliable, and comprehensive backup and recovery mechanism for MySQL, the world's most popular open source database. With ZRM, MySQL database administrators (DBAs) can manage mission-critical, high-volume transaction processing environments with confidence. They can backup all MySQL servers running on Linux, Windows, Solaris, and Mac OS X, and they can take advantage of the Zmanda Management Console (ZMC), a set of graphical tools that control backup and recovery across all MySQL servers from a centralized Web console.
“By bringing Open Storage, Open Standards and Open Source together, Sun and Zmanda provide the most flexible and cost-effective data backup and archiving solutions.”
— Chander Kant, CEO, Zmanda
