Cristie Software today announces that it has agreed with IBM to take over the development and support of IBM SysBack software.
IBM System Backup and Recovery (known as IBM SysBack) software is used by many AIX system administrators and other system users to provide a simple, efficient way to back up and recover AIX systems and data. As part of the agreement, IBM announced end of life for IBM’s support of IBM SysBack software and in the future the software and support will only be available through Cristie Software.
Cristie has deep expertise in Unix operating systems as well as a number of varieties of Linux running on both IBM POWER and Intel platforms. These Unix machines are usually running mission critical applications where fast reliable recovery as well as automated recovery testing is essential.
