Hat; Free Trial Version Includes Three Migrations of Production
Workloads to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.0
WOBURN, MA, - January 18, 2012 - Acronis, a leading
provider of data protection and disaster recovery solutions for
physical, virtual and cloud environments, today announced that
Acronis Backup & Recovery® 11 Virtual Edition has been enhanced to
include new features for Red Hat® Enterprise Virtualization 3.0 and
can be previewed from the new Red Hat Market Place forum. A free
trial of Acronis Backup & Recovery® 11 Virtual Edition is also
available exclusively on Red Hat Market Place and includes the
migration of three production workloads from physical or other
virtual environments to the new Red Hat® Enterprise Virtualization
3.0 platform.
Acronis Backup & Recovery® 11 Virtual Edition supports Windows
and Linux servers and all major virtualization solutions including
VMware® vSphere™, Microsoft® Hyper-V™ and Red Hat® Enterprise
Virtualization 3.0 in one solution, with unlimited P2V and V2V
migrations included. Acronis' integration of its Acronis Backup &
Recovery 11 Virtual Edition with the Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization API enables new capabilities for Red Hat® Enterprise
Virtualization 3.0 and will help to accelerate and simplify the
journey to a Red Hat open source virtual environment. This includes
the remote installation of Acronis agents onto Linux machines and
the automatic discovery and display of Red Hat® Enterprise
Virtualization 3.0 virtual machines in the Acronis Management
Server. This makes it easier for Red Hat customers to provide
comprehensive disaster recovery and data protection for their whole
Red Hat® Enterprise Virtualization environment. Acronis is the
only backup and recovery vendor to have achieved Red Hat®
Enterprise Virtualization 3.0-Certified status at the time of
launch.
Duke Cancer Institute standardized on Red Hat® Enterprise
Virtualization in 2010 and has been using Acronis Backup & Recovery
Virtual Edition to migrate its critical servers and data to the Red
Hat® Enterprise Virtualization environment. "Because Acronis Backup
& Recovery Virtual edition supports multiple hypervisors and
enables P2V and V2V migrations, it took away the worry about some
platform-specific issues we encountered previously," commented Jeff
Allred, Network Services Manager at Duke Cancer Institute. "Using
Acronis Backup & Recovery Virtual Edition resolved the road blocks
in our original path to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and I am
confident that we will have a seamless experience when we upgrade
to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.0."
"Red Hat is focused on providing value and choice to enterprises
adopting a server virtualization strategy," said Navin Thadani,
senior director, Virtualization Business at Red Hat. "Our
customers have benefitted from the migration, disaster recovery and
data protection capabilities within Acronis Backup & Recovery, and
now we can help accelerate their journey to Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization 3.0 through our continuing relationship with one of
the leading vendors in this market."
