Nakivo Backup & Replication Hits V4 ( Enteprise Edition at $599/Socket)

NAKIVO Inc. has announced the release of NAKIVO Backup & Replication v4 adding Exchange Objects Recovery, Exchange logs truncation, and VM backup verification features.

Features:

• Browse, search, and recover Exchange objects – such as emails – directly from compressed and deduplicated VMware VM backups, without the need to restore the entire VM first. This feature is 100% agentless, works right out of the box, and does not require creating a special lab or run a special backup type (Exchange objects can be recovered even from existing NAKIVO backups created by previous versions of the product).

• Truncate Exchange logs. Over time, Exchange database transaction log files accumulate and can consume all of the available disk space, if not periodically removed. This software provides the option to delete (aka truncate) the logs after a successful backup to free up disk space. This feature is also agentless and works right out of the box.

• Verify VM backups ad hoc or on schedule. It checks VM backups at the block level and ensures that the data written to the backup repository is identical to the data that was read from the source VM, thus verifying that application objects, files, and the entire VM can be recovered.

• Built for virtualization, It has been certified by VMware and offers a VM data protection feature set for SMB, enterprise, and cloud provider virtualized environments. The product is agentless, backups and replicates VMware VMs onsite over LAN and offsite over (a slow) WAN, supports live applications and databases, enables granular and full VM recovery, speeds up data transfer with network acceleration, and reduces data size with global dedupe and compression.

Editions, pricing, and licensing
All these features are available in the enterprises editions, namely:

• The Enterprise edition – $599 per socket

• The Enterprise for VMware Essentials edition – $299 per socket.

It is licensed on the per-socked basis and charges only for the source side of backup and replication. Qualified CSPs have an option to license the product on a per VM monthly rental basis.

“We are excited to introduce this new version to the VMware virtualization market. This release will further accelerate our explosive growth and adoption among SMBs, enterprises, and cloud providers,” said Bruce Talley, CEO and co-founder, NAKIVO.

“After testing several VM data protection products side by side, we realized that NAKIVO Backup & Replication, along with their highly responsive support team, was the best VM backup solution for our Backup as a Service offering. With advanced VM Backup functionality, superior usability and impressive performance, NAKIVO Backup & Replication has also reduced our overall virtualization data protection costs by 40%,” said Primoz Lah, CTO, RVO.

“NAKIVO Backup & Replication keeps moving forward fast with new releases. The new features introduced in v4 enable SMBs, Enterprises, and cloud Providers to improve data protection reliability and reduce the time for Exchange recovery,” said Vladan Seget, vExpert, VCP, VCAP, blogger.

“NAKIVO Backup & Replication is a fast and intuitive product for VMware data protection. The new v4 release improves the product capabilities by providing a simple and easy way to validate VM backups and recover Exchange objects directly from compressed and de-duplicated VM backups,” said Ryon Brubaker, IT manager, Kemba Credit Union, Inc.

“It is always good to know that we have chosen the right partner. It is even better when the partner products advance to the next level. NAKIVO Backup & Replication can now replace expensive legacy tools for Exchange recovery, simplify restore processes, and improve RTOs. From our point of view, these features are a must have in every virtualized environment,” said Dipl. Inf. Thomas Hilgert, Hilgert Distribution.
