KinecticD Updates Server Cloud Backup

KineticD
enhanced KineticCloud
Backup
for
Servers
to protect VMware ESXi servers at the VM host level, providing
backups and restorations. It is available in Beta for channel
partners at no additional cost.

As more SMBs move to
the cloud, many are looking at virtualization as a way to combine
resources and reduce the costs of IT infrastructure. The ESXi
server allows customers to run multiple OS or machines from one
physical server, saving hardware, data center space and resources. As
a VMware Elite Partner, KineticD is able to deliver a way to
safeguard virtualized machines, while providing flexibility and
protection in the event of a disaster by allowing the user to keep
local and remote copies of their machines.

"By
integrating VMware into our product line, SMBs will be able to enjoy
the same protection and assurance available to large enterprises,"
said Jamie Brenzel, CEO of KineticD. "As
the adoption of virtualization grows, it is imperative that we
deliver the technology that allows our customers to keep pace with
these changes. We are excited to provide a product that meets the
needs for local, virtual and cloud backup."

This hybrid cloud
solution ensures that if a machine does go down, it can be brought
backup at the host level. By using the VMware Vstorage API,
customers are able to backup at the VM host level,
simultaneously securing all or specific guest OS without causing
downtime.

Key Facts:

• Global
  Block-Level Dedup and Incremental Backups:
  Using Vstorage API coupled with KineticDs block level dedup,
  it speeds up VMware backups and sends incremental data changes and
  transfers blocks that haven’t been stored in the vault. Doing so
  eliminates unnecessary data at the source and leads to faster backups
  that consume less storage, bandwidth, and time.

• Agentless
  Deployment:
  Backups don’t require installing individual agents or plug-ins
  providing scalability and efficiency.

• Granular
  Scheduling and Flexibility:
  Ability to schedule backups during off-peak times or at specific
  times during the day, reducing load on servers and bandwidth.
  Provides full and differential backups, using VMware’s changed blocks
  tracking feature.

• Complete
  Protection:
  Settings of VMs (like hardware configurations), data
  stored on virtual disks (including all information on guest OS) and
  applications are always backed up.

• Hybrid
  Cloud Protection:
  Access to off-line (local) and online (remote) versions of files
  provide ongoing availability to digital assets at all times.
