The new LeapServVM product will consist of a custom built VM system file supplied to the customer by BitLeap, which can be loaded into existing VMware environments to perform all of the services typically provided by a dedicated LeapServ network appliance (1) A specialized device for use on a network. For example, Web servers, cache servers and file servers can be implemented as general-purpose computers with the appropriate software or as network appliances, which are computers dedicated to a single function and cannot do anything . The LeapServVM will be a licensed copy of BitLeap's LeapServ technology when bundled with data backup or e-mail archiving Retaining e-mail messages for historical purposes or to be in compliance with many industry regulations. The file structure of e-mail is different than other data formats, and message archiving software is specialized for e-mail retention and searching. services.

BitLeap's CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Guy Suter comments, "The ability to setup a LeapServ on virtual machines will greatly expand the implementation and deployment options available to our customers. We have created a system to custom build LeapServ software to specific customer needs, which will enable us to support a wide range of VMware environments. We are excited to offer this new option and to see the innovative ways it will be put to use." Recommended Uses BitLeap recommends that businesses consider the LeapServVM product in environments where server space or power is limited or expensive, such as data co-location centers See telecom hotel. , and the volume of data to backup is less than one terabyte One trillion bytes. Also TB, Tbyte and T-byte. See tera and space/time. (unit) terabyte - 2^40 = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes = 1024 gigabytes or roughly 10^12 bytes. (Note the spelling - one 'r'). See prefix. . Like all LeapServ products, one of the major benefits to the LeapServVM is that its core backup methodology is agent-less, allowing users to backup data from virtually all systems through standard network protocols. The LeapServVM product can also be beneficial when customers would like to phase in or evaluate offsite data backup technology from BitLeap. Depending on the nature of the VMware environment, dedicated LeapServ appliances are generally recommended when the amount of data being backed up exceeds a few hundred gigabytes so that the LeapServVM instance will not need to use a large volume of storage or system resources (1) In a computer system, system resources are the components that provide its inherent capabilities and contribute to its overall performance. System memory, cache memory, hard disk space, IRQs and DMA channels are examples. to process the backups and offsite replication. Pricing The LeapServVM software license and file creation fee for up to 500 gigabytes of backup storage A storage device used to hold copies of data for backup and recovery. In the IT world, tape drives and tape libraries have been the traditional backup storage medium; however, magneto-optic (MO) and other optical discs as well as regular magnetic disks are also used. See LAN free backup. is $500 and for up to 1 terabyte of backup storage is $750.
