Altaro Software WAN-Optimized Replication in VM Backup V8

Altaro Software Ltd. has introduced WAN-Optimized Replication in its latest version, v8, allowing businesses to be backup and running in minimal time should disaster strike.

Replication permits a business to make an ongoing copy of its VMs and to access that copy with immediacy should anything go wrong with the live VMs. This reduces the RTO.

Optimized for WANs, the company’s WAN-Optimized Replication enables system administrators to replicate ongoing changes to their VMs to a remote site and to continue working from the replicated VMs should something go wrong with the live VMs, such as damage due to severe weather conditions, flooding, ransomware, viruses, server crashes and so on.

Reducing RTO from vital minutes:
“WAN-Optimized Replication allows businesses to continue accessing and working in the case of damage to their on-premise servers. If their office building is hit by a massive storm and experiences flooding, for instance, they can continue working from their VMs that have been replicated to an offsite location,” explained David Vella, CEO and co-founder, Altaro.”As these are continually updated with changes, businesses using Altaro VM Backup can continue working without a glitch, with minimal to no data loss, and with an excellent RTO, or RTO.“

Centralised, multi-tenant view for MSPs
MSPs can add replication services to their offering, with the ability to replicate customer data to the MSP’s infrastructure. This way, if a customer site goes down, that customer can access its VMs through the MSP’s infrastructure and continue working.

With the company’s VM Backup for MSPs, MSPs can manage their customer accounts through a multi-tenant online console for greater ease, speed and efficiency, enabling them to provide their customers with a better, faster service.

How to upgrade
WAN-Optimized Replication is available exclusively for customers who have the Unlimited Plus edition of the firm’s VM Backup. It is automatically included in VM Backup for MSPs.

Upgrading to VM Backup v8 is free for ‘Unlimited Plus’ customers who have a valid Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA). The latest build can be downloaded. If customers are not under active SMA, they should contact their company’s partner for information about how to upgrade.
