Symantec Widens Data and System Recovery Portfolio

By ChannelTimes Staff
Mumbai, Oct 07, 2008 1310 hrs IST

Symantec, a security solutions provider, has announced the release of its Backup Exec product family to facilitate data and system recovery of virtual and physical systems and support for the Windows Server 2008 portfolio. Moreover, the company also offers new Backup Exec systems management and enhanced storage flexibility for heterogeneous environments. The new Backup Exec 12.5 enables organizations protect their data and systems in a physical and virtual environment through one solution. Backup Exec offers data protection for VMware Infrastructure, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V and conventional physical systems from a single console. It also reduces complexity by enabling users to backup an unlimited number of guest machines within a VMware ESX or Microsoft Hyper-V host environment to disk or tape from a single agent. Unlike other backup solutions, Backup Exec allows users to recover data on a granular or image-level via one backup to reduce the recovery time and the footprint of the backup on storage resources, the company said. With this solution, backup administrators can have a global view of their virtual environment within the Backup Exec administration interface. Users will also benefit from automated configuration and setup of VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB) without the need to create manual scripts. Backup Exec provides a whole-guest virtual system recovery including the ability to rename a virtual machine, change LAN configuration and optionally power-up guest machines following restore. Complementary to Backup Exec, Backup Exec System Recovery 8.5 provides additional support for virtual environments. Backup Exec System Recovery reduces system downtime by enabling organizations to immediately restore complete Windows systems in minutes, even to dissimilar hardware or virtual environments, in the event of a disaster or system failure. In addition, Backup Exec System Recovery helps users manage planned downtime by adding new functionality to schedule physical to virtual (P2V) system migrations. It also includes support for the latest virtual environments including VMware ESX 3.5, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer 4.1 and will offer integration with the Altiris management platform to provide centralized backup and recovery of servers or desktops directly from the Altiris console. "The latest release of Backup Exec is the next significant proof point for how Symantec is redefining next generation data protection. Symantec offers the most complete data protection solutions and our users are confident that Backup Exec will protect and recover their mission critical data and physical as well as virtual systems," said Ajay Verma, Director (Channel and Alliances), Symantec India. The solution has a suggested price of US$ 995 for a media server license. Each additional agent or option can vary in price from US$ 395 to US$ 3,195 MSRP. Backup Exec System Recovery 8.5 has a suggested price of US$1,095 per server and US$ 69 per workstation.
