Moonwalk announced that its Moonwalk 6.0 software suite, which delivers an archive, backup and disaster recovery solution to heterogeneous networks, has become an approved application for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0.

As a Red Hat Ready Partner, Moonwalk has extended support for its software to allow Red Hat customers to use its technology for storage management.

"We've provided Linux-enabled storage and archiving for some time now and are pleased to add Red Hat flavoring to our roster of supported infrastructures," said Peter Harvey, CEO of Moonwalk. "As strong believers in providing heterogeneous solutions that deliver archive, backup and disaster recovery in vendor-neutral environments, it is important that we continue to provide access to information throughout the enterprise regardless of the operating system supporting it."

Moonwalk software delivers data management with all information on network storage, servers and clients. It migrates, copies and moves data according to user-defined rules and policies based on criteria such as age, size, file type, file name, file creator and many more granular classification rules. Moonwalk operates across and between all major file systems, including Windows, UNIX, Linux and Netware environments, and all primary and secondary storage environments, the company said.
