RESTON, VA--(Marketwire - May 13, 2009) - AppAssure, a leading provider of enterprise-class backup and disaster recovery software purpose-built for Windows applications, today announced that its continuous application protection software, Replay AppImage, has been selected by Kaseya as a new component of its expanding backup and disaster recovery (BU-DR) solution. Kaseya, the global leader in information technology (IT) automation software for IT solution providers and public and private sector organizations, will use Replay AppImage to offer next-generation application backup for Microsoft environments. With AppAssure's flagship solution, Kaseya's already comprehensive BU-DR module will, for the first time, support corruption detection and rapid message-level restore for Microsoft Exchange users.

With nearly 4 million endpoints utilized by nearly 4000 customers, Kaseya provides its BU-DR module to both enterprise customers as well as managed service providers, which in turn, must assure reliable service levels to their customers.
