StorageCraft Technology Corp. has released StorageCraft†VirtualBoot for Hyper-V, the company’s latest backup and disaster recovery solution that enables StorageCraft ShadowProtect users to boot a protected Windows system as a guest virtual machine directly on a Hyper-V host when using Windows Server 2012 R2.
“For years, IT professionals have used StorageCraft VirtualBoot to reliably recover their systems to a virtual environment through integration with Oracle VirtualBox. The expanded ability to instantly boot any point in time on a Hyper-V host gives organizations a greater chance of returning to normal operations after access to data and IT systems are lost,” says Scott Barnes, StorageCraft’s chief technology officer.
In addition to the ability to instantly boot on a Hyper-V host, VirtualBoot for Hyper-V includes features and enhancements designed to help IT professionals protect availability of their systems. StorageCraft’s VirtualBoot technology has been used by IT professionals to:
- Reduce backup windows (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO)
- Provide temporary system failover in the event of an emergency
- Enable rapid testing and validation of offline production systems
Now, the company is bringing all of these capabilities directly to the Hyper-V platform, resulting in an integrated solution that leverages the existing investment in Windows Server.
