Implementation of R1Soft CDP allows the company to move from a homemade backup solution to high-performance backups that have reduced server loads.

Plus Hosting, a web hosting provider, today announced their enrollment in the R1Soft Hosting Partner Program (R1HPP) after the recent addition of Continuous Data Protection (CDP) to their portfolio of hosting services. The company states that R1HPP will provide it with the marketing and sales resources required to successfully educate current customers about the benefits of CDP as well as promote it as a feature to attract new customers.

It avers that the implementation of R1Soft CDP has allowed it to move from a homemade, CPU intensive backup solution only capable of running backups nightly to high-performance, disk-based backups that have reduced server loads by more than 80 percent. It adds that post the deployment of CDP, it can now back up entire file systems, run backups more frequently, and bare-metal restore data.

"R1Soft CDP is truly an all-in-one backup solution and has already paid for itself. Customers are raving about the user-friendly features of CDP so it has already started to attract new customers," said Zvonimir Gembec, Managing Director of Plus Hosting.

"The R1Soft Hosting Partner Program is designed to help our customers capitalize on their investment in CDP by providing them with necessary marketing and sales tools to promote CDP, attract additional customers and ultimately increase their revenue," said David Wartell, vice president of R1Soft, a division of BBS Technologies, Inc.
