Axxana

Axxana was co-founded in 2005 based on unique innovation by veterans of the storage industry in order to address the number one challenge in data protection; recovering data at any distance with zero data loss. Axxana provides a compelling solution that is set to change the face of Disaster Recovery. Axxana has introduced a new domain in the Data Protection arena, namely Enterprise Data Recording (EDR). Serving enterprises around the world and developed in close conjunction with some of the most prestigious names in the data storage industry, Axxana has risen to the challenge by developing its first EDR System.

• editor's comments:- Axxana is writing a new sequel to the History of Enterprise Disk to Disk Backup - where flash SSD meets D2d on the SAN.
  
  April 2009 - Axxana's Phoenix System is a rugged 300GB FC compatible flash SSD based data recovery appliance.
  
  In November 2009 - Axxana announced it has secured $9 million Series B investment led by Carmel Ventures. The funds will be used to accelerate the adoption of The Phoenix System - a lossless data recovery system which sits on the SAN and records data into a rugged flash SSD-enabled, locally situated, data survival box.
  
  Although Axxana talks about it "complementing" other types of data protection - such as offsite / online backup my gut feel is that if the product shows itself to be usable and reliable in a wide range of environments - it will set a new standard for backup which will supercede anything possible with rotating disk backup systems or tape.
