What can you do to repair the damage
caused by an IT system failure or recover lost data?
This
question may be unpleasant, but is the starting point for restoring
your business processes as quickly as possible. StorageCraft
Technology Corporation, has launched a solution:
ShadowProtect 5 allowing data to be backed up and recovered.
Virtual and physical servers, desktops and laptops can be back in
operation in minutes, so you can get your business working again as
quickly as possible.
With the ImageReady and VirtualBoot
technologies companies can make sure they always have backups,
reducing their IT downtime to a minimum and increasing their BC
operations to a maximum. This can reduce the TCO of IT systems.
The software is available in four
different versions – all of which are compatible with the latest
Windows OS including Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8, as well as
with older versions.
ShadowProtect can also be used on VMs
running in virtual environments like VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, Citrix XEN
and Redhat KVM:
- ShadowProtect Server
- ShadowProtect Small Business Server
- ShadowProtect Desktop
- ShadowProtect Virtual
ShadowProtect Server and ShadowProtect
Small Business Server – recovery and continuation of operations in
just a few minutes
This DR solution provides businesses
with systems for recovery, data backup and system migration.
Protect your server, including the OS,
databases, applications, settings, and your data. The solution is
based on Bare Metal Recovery technology, which enables the IT
structure to be restored on the same system, on different or new
hardware, or in virtual environments. In addition, StorageCraft
innovate with its ImageReady technology, which automatically mounts
ShadowProtect backup image files as NTFS drives.
Once those backups are mounted, it can
run script-based operations on the image to verify data and
application integrity. This provides an other layer of verification
for applications such as Exchange, SharePoint and SQL. This solution
also give you granular recovery of individual files and folders:
mount a backup disk image and browse the file structure to find and
recover what you need. Thanks to flexible recovery options, the
period of time during which IT systems and data are not available is
cut to a minimum, allowing companies to improve their RTO. With the VirtualBoot technology, a backup image file can be booted as a
VM in just a few minutes by right-clicking it.
Using Hardware Independent Restore – a
technology from StorageCraft – not only is restoration to new
hardware or to a VM straightforward, it also enables migrations and
test environment set ups. In addition to VirtualBoot, a virtual
stand-by server can be created in the form of HeadStart Restore,
allowing the server to be restored, even before a failure happens.
Complete, differential and incremental backups can be scheduled
automatically.
ShadowProtect Desktop:
Prevention
of system failures and data loss
This solution for protecting resources
on desktops and laptops is also based on the company’s Bare Metal
Recovery and ImageReady technologies. ShadowProtect Desktop is an
automated backup solution that works in the background with no
noticeable impact on computer operations. This version, too, uses
VirtualBoot technology, enabling an image to be booted as a VM, so
you can restore the system in just a few minutes. The Hardware
Independent Restore technology is also used in the desktop solution,
making system migration to new virtual or physical machines quicker
and easier.
ShadowProtect 5 Desktop enables the
creation of complete, differential and incremental backup images.
ShadowProtect Virtual also features
functions such as Bare Metal Recovery, ImageReady technology and
Hardware Independent Restore. This solution is tailor made to
constantly backup systems running on virtual environments such as
VMware, Microsoft and Citrix, as well as the Kernel-based Virtual
Machine from Redhat.
ShadowProtect 5 is available in
Europe in four versions from December 20th.
