San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 27, 2012
Barracuda Networks Inc., the leading provider of security, networking and data protection solutions, today launched Barracuda Backup release 5.0, featuring groundbreaking functionality with its new instant recovery via Barracuda LiveBoot™ for VMware. This new capability, included at no additional charge to Barracuda Backup customers, allows administrators to boot a critical server if the primary storage for their VMware environment fails, reducing overall downtime.
Barracuda Backup is a complete end-to-end business backup solution for mixed physical and virtual server environments. Barracuda LiveBoot for VMware enables a virtual machine to be booted directly off the Barracuda Backup Server’s deduplicated backup storage live, getting businesses up and running again quickly. In addition to reducing overall downtime, Barracuda LiveBoot for VMware also provides customers a platform for testing and sandboxing their servers to validate software upgrades or changes.
"The move to virtualization has brought about significant management benefits not previously possible in the physical server world," said Guy Suter, general manager for Barracuda Backup. "With our new ability to instantly boot from deduplicated backups and test restores to file level, Barracuda Backup offers unprecedented capabilities in data center continuity and disaster recovery previously unrealized in the world of tape backup."
Additional highlights of this new Barracuda Backup release include:
Barracuda Backup sets the industry standard for assured data storage and retrieval while minimizing data-storage costs and administration effort. Barracuda Backup combines a plug-and-play appliance for onsite backups with cloud and private cloud disk-based replication to quickly and securely store data in multiple locations offsite.
