With XenServer 6.2, Citrix has announced that its virtual machine backup feature set, VMPR ( Virtual Machine Protection and Recovery) is being retired.
“As the most comprehensive backup and disaster recovery solution for the XenServer platform, the Alike™ product from Quadric Software, is the ideal third-party solution to meet the current and future data protection needs of the XenServer community,” said Phil Baskette, co-founder and CEO of Quadric Software, Inc.
“We have partnered with Citrix to provide a smooth, cost-effective transition for existing VMPR customers to ensure they have access to the best possible DR protection.”
As part of this partnership with Citrix, Quadric Software is offering a special promotional discount to existing customers of Citrix XenServer.
The Alike solution features several backup and DR capabilities unique for the Citrix XenServer community. Leading capabilities include:
· Protection for both XenServer and Microsoft Hyper-V environments from a single installation of Alike
· The ability to restore virtual machines directly to the running state they were in at the time of the backup
· Best deduplication and compression capabilities of any Citrix XenServer backup and disaster recovery.
