TORONTO, Ontario— Bytware today announced a new data protection product for IBM eServer iSeries. Under an agreement with IBM, Bytware StandGuard Recycle Bin for iSeries will be shipped with all distributions of the IBM eServer iSeries operating system — i5/OS. StandGuard Recyle Bin, designed specifically for the iSeries sytems, protects data files on all mapped drives from accidental or intentional deletion using a holding area, or “recycle bin.” Files that once would have been considered lost, can now be easily restored to i5/OS from the recycle bin.

StandGuard Recycle Bin for iSeries eliminates the need to pull out backups and restore lost files in the traditional way. The nearly instantaneous process means that files can be restored as quickly as they can be deleted. Plus, StandGuard Recycle Bin for iSeries protects files created throughout the day for on-the-fly restoration, something that traditional backups usually just can’t do.

The product will begin shipping October 22 with all distributions of i5/OS, and will be available as a try-and-buy offering. Customers can request full-featured trial activation by contacting Bytware directly at http://www.bytware.com/enablerb.html or by calling 775-851-2900. Bytware will work directly with customers, and, to ensure timely support, Bytware has expanded its US-based operations to include 18 new Partners in 10 time zones worldwide.
