Acronis Makes Virtual Environments Safer and More Available,
Enabling Intelligent Reliable Recovery for Microsoft SQL Server and
SharePoint.
Woburn, Mass. - February 27, 2013 - With more
organizations moving large critical databases to virtual
environments, Acronis today
announced that it is adding support for Microsoft® SQL Server® and
Microsoft® SharePoint® to its award winning Acronis Backup &
Recovery® Unified Platform for virtual and physical environments.
The new modules are the latest extension of the Acronis platform to
support the most popular data-intensive applications, reducing the
complexity and time taken to restore applications and their
critical data in every environment.
The patent-pending Single Pass Backup combines two backups in
one, eliminating the need for separate strategies for the
protection of applications and reducing time required for the
operation. By leveraging Acronis' in depth understanding of
storage and file systems, the new modules are 'application aware'
when both backing up and restoring, making it possible to find and
restore only the files or objects required from the application, in
seconds. This is a particular advantage when working in a virtual
environment as traditional backup and recovery solutions must
restore an entire VM before an individual file or object can be
found.
"Two of the unintended consequences of greater production server
virtualization are the increase in complexity and greater demand
for the availability of critical data," commented Dmitri Joukovski,
vice president of product management for Acronis. "The real focus
for maintaining protection and availability of critical
applications should be on ease of restore. Whether it is an
individual email, a single file or an entire database, these can
now been quickly located and recovered through a one step, one
administrator process without the need for specialized tools or
knowledge."
The technology offers increased flexibility that can enable
organizations to achieve the aggressive RPO and RTO measures
demanded for applications - even those on virtual machines. The
Single Pass backup and one process restore enables instances and
databases, as well as individual files and folders to be restored.
Acronis Backup & Recovery ® supports Microsoft® Hyper-V™, VMware
vSphere®, Red Hat® Enterprise Virtualization, Citrix® XenServer®
and Parallels® Server BareMetal hypervisors, and physical Windows®
and Linux servers, which allows data to be moved securely and
seamlessly between every environment of choice. This enables the
recovery of any machine or file to any other available machine,
reproducing an identical configuration and environment is not
required for a fast recovery
By adding Microsoft® SharePoint® and SQL Server® to its existing
support for Microsoft® Active Directory® and Microsoft Exchange,
Acronis is simplifying the complexity of data protection and
availability for applications in every environment.
