StorageCraft Rolls out Flexible, Socket Licensing for ShadowProtect SPX

IT professionals can protect their virtual environments with ease with the new, simple socket-based pricing for ShadowProtect SPX, backup and DR solution from StorageCraft Technology Corp.

This licensing model allows IT administrators to purchase licenses based on the number of CPU sockets on the host, both VMware and Microsoft, and protect an unlimited number of VMs per licensed socket.

“With the new price-friendly licensing model, IT administrators can now grow their virtual environments with one of the world’s most trusted and reliable BC solutions without having to go through the purchase process each time new VMs are added to the host,” said Marvin Blough, VP, WW sales, StorageCraft. “This addition to the pricing structure allows StorageCraft partners to devote less time with administrative and set-up duties and more time for mission critical activities.“

Pricing options are:

• Essentials Socket Edition (two-socket bundle) – Affordably priced and packaged in a two-socket bundle for businesses with virtual environments of six sockets or fewer. Users get reliable features and easy-to-use functionality at a price that’s right-sized for the smaller business getting started with virtualization.

• Standard Socket Edition (one socket) – Designed for businesses with virtual environments of greater than six sockets, and provides best-in-class protection, greater flexibility, and a lower overall TCO with per-socket licensing. There’s no limit on the number of one socket licenses purchased and no limit to the number of VMs that can be protected with each socket license.

Users still have the flexibility to purchase the Virtual Guest Packs for ShadowProtect SPX. The Guest Packs allow users to choose per-VM licenses in a one-pack, three-pack, or a new ten-pack.
