Asigra brings global data de-duplication, continuous data protection and low overhead architecture to Microsoft Hyper-V users.
Toronto, ON, Canada, May 7, 2009 (PRESSbooth.ORG) -- Asigra Inc., a leading Cloud backup and recovery software provider, announced certification with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V. Asigra simplifies and automates backup and recovery for Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V customers, providing the benefits of highly efficient data protection without the need to install I/O, memory and management-intensive backup software on virtual machines targeted for protection.
As a certified Microsoft Virtualization solution partner, Asigra ensures customers who are upgrading or migrating to Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V will continue to enjoy the benefits virtualization brings without the performance, cost and management impact of traditional agent-based backup software solutions. The industry-recognized Asigra Cloud backup and recovery platform resolves major issues such as performance loss by installing only one client to backup the entire site, thus protecting both the physical and virtual environment without deploying any agents. Asigra Cloud backup and recovery also eliminates manual deployment, cumbersome software and information management, restricted cross-platform interoperability and security challenges prevalent in many alternative solutions.
“Customers are adopting Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V over alternative products because of greater value, familiar tools and broad ISV ecosystem that allows customers to make the best use of their server hardware investments,” said Eric Jewett, group manager, Windows Server division at Microsoft Corp. “Asigra’s backup and recovery solution is a great fit for virtualized environments that require agentless data protection.”
Asigra’s certification provides customers with confidence that the company’s backup and recovery platform will work smoothly and effectively in the Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V environment.
