New product family for data protection
New product family for integrated disaster recovery
and data protection
Sydney, 22 June 2011 -
Acronis
Built upon Acronis' established disk imaging technology, the business product family provides the market's first affordable solution for integrated disaster recovery and data protection in one. Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 offers both data-centric and system-centric views of physical and virtual machines as well as providing secure offsite storage; this allows IT managers to simplify their operations from one unified platform, therefore saving costs.
"Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 is a step ahead when it comes to integrated backup, disaster recovery and data protection. Combining these in one platform and one solution opens new ways to implement policies and disaster recovery strategies across our organisation," said Sven Dreyfeldt, Siemens IT Solutions and Services GmbH.
"File-level backup and recovery on its own is an incomplete strategy when it comes to meeting today's stringent recovery time objectives (RTOs) for complete system recovery," says Lauren Whitehouse, senior analyst at ESG. "Solidifying solutions for bare metal recovery and file-level protection together makes sense in order to allow for more complete and robust disaster recovery and data protection strategies for small to medium sized businesses."
Key new features include:
* Disaster Recovery and Data Protection in one solution
* System-centric approach to restore all data, files, applications and operating systems through disk imaging technology for fast restoration
* Data-centric approach allowing IT managers to recover, manage and search for individual files from a backup no matter where they're located in the backup file archive
* Support for physical, virtual and cloud environments
* One of the
few solutions available where IT managers can back up both
physical and virtual environments, plus with Acronis Backup
& Recovery 11 Online
* New Virtualization features
* Acronis
Backup & Recovery 11 Virtual Edition
* Place an agent into the virtual machine and manage it exactly as you would manage a physical machine; and/or use a single host-based agent for VMware(r) vSphere(tm) or Microsoft(r) Hyper-V(tm) to manage all virtual machines on a host at once
* Simultaneous backups of virtual machines reduce virtual backup windows
* Ease of management
* Disaster Recovery Plans provide step-by-step instructions enabling even non-IT personnel to recover systems
