International Paris-based fashion house Gerald Darel recently chose Acronis vmProtect as a comprehensive virtual backup and recovery solution after a rigorous testing process. Acronis can support the accelerated pace of change within organisations, with the most comprehensive host and server protection for VMware environments." "As the use of virtual environments to support business-critical applications, and cloud-based models for delivery and collaboration expands, more businesses are playing roulette with their critical data. "Virtual environments are at risk," commented Dmitri Joukovski, vice-president of product management at Acronis. Combined with the ability to remotely recover files from a cloud backup location through a Web-based interface, Acronis vmProtect can offer the "anywhere-access" benefit of a cloud-based backup strategy to enterprises of all sizes. This automated process in Acronis vmProtect allows for different schedules at different destinations, without user intervention, to more efficiently meet policy compliance and optimise the use of available bandwidth. Administrators can now better protect data and machines by saving backup files to multiple locations - including off-premise private clouds through Acronis Online cloud. To address this demand, Acronis has added disk-to-disk-to-cloud staging in this latest release of Acronis vmProtect. This new technology copies only those data blocks that have changed, allowing for recovery times of up to 100 times faster than previously achievable.Īccording to research conducted at VMworld San Francisco 2012, almost 70% of VMware ESXi users have already, or are planning to back up their machines to the cloud*. The new vmFlashBack feature reduces downtime by offering a fast, simple restore option that accelerates recovery times. In addition, Acronis has made a secure cloud backup strategy more achievable with the inclusion of multi-destination staging. Acronis, a leading provider of disaster recovery and data protection solutions for physical, virtual and cloud environments, has announced that it has significantly reduced the time required to recover virtual machines in VMware virtual environments with the introduction of vmFlashBack, a new feature included in the latest release of Acronis vmProtect.
