SEP Software: Backup Performance Improvements for Citrix Xen Environments

SEP Software Corp. continues to enhance its Xenserver support portfolio with the release of version 4.4 integrating full Changed Block Tracking (CBT) support for all Xen environments.

The company has been a Citrix Systems, Inc. partner since 2009, when they were the first Citrix partner to introduce an integrated backup solution for XenServer, and have continued to cultivate a relationship with Citrix.

SEP backup and recovery for XenServer is a VM solution designed to supply fast, cost-effective, and scalable data protection for businesses using Xenserver. Since obtaining the Citrix Ready Certification in 2009, the company has been a backup vendor for Xen environments around the world.

Xenserver 7.6 offers a list of features, especially the native Changed Block Tracking API which is supported by the firm’s solution.

When a CBT backup is activated, the company software detects the XenServer host target where the VM is running and initiates a backup. It utilizes CBT to perform incremental backups and to free up disk space.

“Our partners and customers rely on us to simplify the protection of their XenServer and hybrid environments, which means that they also count on us to work with Citrix to deliver the most efficient, innovative products with faster, more dynamic, agentless backups to secure their data and protect their systems from threats like system failure, unintentional data removal or ransomware,” relayed Tim Wagner, president, SEP USA.

“Our entire team has been re-energized with the new update to our SEP Software portfolio, especially the inclusion of CBT for XenServer. This will be an enormous time and money saver for every XenServer user. We will be engaging all Citrix partners and resellers attending the 2019 Citrix Summit January 7-9 in Orlando,” stated Russell Wine, VP, sales, SEP. “Our proficiency to secure and backup XenServer remains unsurpassed. And we are confident that the agile methodology behind our enterprise backup and cloud solutions will continue to evolve and support the great Xenserver community.“
