EnduraData has released a new version of EnduraData Wide Area Data Distribution Software (EDWADDS), which includes support for cross-platform data distribution (Windows, Linux, Mac, Open Solaris, etc).

The company said that the new software allows customers to replicate and distribute content from one to many sites and from many sites to one or more additional remote sites. It allows customers to have copies of the data offsite for backup purposes, data sharing, workflow or process automation purposes.

EnduraData said that the software can send data from one server, workstation or node to many servers. It can also send from many servers to a single server and allows organisations to consolidate or distribute data across many sites automatically to increase the ROI and increase investment use efficiency.

El Haddi, a software architect with EnduraData, said: EDWADDS works with Mac, BSD, Windows, Linux, Open Solaris and various Unix flavors on various hardware platforms and with various virtualisation solutions. Its data deduplication makes the data replication and distribution very cost-effective to solve a wide range of challenging business problems.
