At CeBiT 2010 in Hannover from March 2 to 6, 2010, NovaStor launched the latest version of its enterprise backup software, NovaBACKUP DataCenter.



Flexibility In Virtual Environments
Version 4.0 of NovaBACKUP DataCenter offers extensive support for flexible data protection in a virtual environment. For example, virtual machines can be backed up directly using agents as well as by using the interface of the virtualization solution. These options enable companies to exploit the potential of virtualization without being limited by a lack of flexibility in their backup solution.

Backup large amounts of data faster
In the face of exponentially growing amounts of data, even enterprise backup solutions have their limits. Either the backup windows are too small to handle the scheduled amount of data, or errors accumulate and make successful backups impossible. To avoid these problems, NovaStor enhanced the speed and performance of NovaBACKUP DataCenter in version 4.0 by 30%.

Reduce storage costs
Besides offering a simple, innovative licensing model, NovaBACKUP DataCenter also reduces storage costs with its comfortable handling and new functions. For example, NovaBACKUP DataCenter supports synthetic backups, which significantly reduces the volume of backups. Enterprises benefit from comfortable, simplified handling, easier database backups and the cost-effective integration of long-term data storage with the disk-to-disk-to-tape function.

"Growing amounts of data are a constant challenge, which can cause massive problems and endanger the security of IT operations ˆ even with market leading backup solutions. With NovaBACKUP DataCenter 4.0, we ensure that mid-sized companies and large enterprises receive a cost-saving backup solution that runs smoothly, even under extreme conditions," said Mike Andrews, Managing Director at NovaStor.
