Portland, Oregon - (The Hosting News) - July 25, 2008 - The R1Soft Hosting Partner Program, designed as a value-added partnership opportunity to enable more effective deployment of Continuous Data Protection backup, welcomes Opus Interactive.

Opus Interactive, as a member of the R1Soft Hosting Partner Program, will receive a variety of sales and marketing resources from R1Soft, as well as priority technical support and access to new software updates before they become available to the general public. Opus Interactive will provide Continuous Data Protection as a premium value-added service to its Dedicated Hosting customers, using Windows, Linux or FreeBSD operating systems. Pricing starts at $5/monthly per protected gigabyte of data, plus an initial setup fee.

Jeremy Sherwood, Executive at Opus Interactive Business Solutions noted, ''R1Soft's data protection solution has helped us solve several problems created by our previous system and allows us to more affordably offer a very robust solution to our Dedicated Hosting customers. We have been especially impressed by the flexibility of R1Soft's solution and the scalability across a variety of platforms and server environments. It it's a natural fit for our business model and we look forward to full implementation.''

Continuous Data Protection is unique in its ability to provide near-Continuous data protection that virtually eliminates the lag time between restore points. With traditional backup technology, there is a delay - hours, days or even weeks between restore points, resulting in significant data loss in the event of a disaster. But with Continuous Data Protection, data is protected around the clock. With but a minimal impact on server resources, Continuous Data Protection is an ideal solution for even busy servers.

David Wartell, Vice President of R1Soft division, BBS Technologies Inc. remarked, ''Opus Interactive is an ideal partner to implement our data protection technology. By combining its world-class infrastructure with our solution, Opus Interactive is able to deliver on its promise to offer mission-critical hosting solutions for businesses of all sizes.''
