Quadric Software has announced a beta program giving users early access to a new version of the Alike solution that extends its advanced backup and disaster recovery (BDR) support to physical systems. Organizations can now use Alike to protect their virtual environments as well as their vitally important physical systems.
The new Alike version is the latest milestone in the Quadric Software development strategy to deliver the most comprehensive, cost-effective, and simple-to-use solution for solving all the backup and DR challenges of increasingly diverse computing environments. In May, Quadric Software launched Alike v3.0, which added support for Microsoft Hyper-V to its industry-leading BDR capabilities for Citrix XenServer.
“By expanding support to physical systems, the Alike BDR solution will vastly simplify the management of complex IT infrastructures,” said Phil Baskette, co-founder and CEO of Quadric Software, Inc. “With this new offering, we’re streamlining what is quite frankly a cumbersome process.”
Managed service providers will be among the organizations benefitting from the new solution. The Quadric Software MSP Advantage program can now be used by managed service providers to generate new revenue by delivering pay-as-you-go backup, replication, and DR services for their customers’ physical machines as well as their VMs.
Organizations using the Alike solution get numerous business benefits, including:
• Tremendous storage savings through powerful deduplication and other compression techniques
• Flexible and fast recovery options
• Seamless support for both virtual and physical systems
• Efficient, secure offsite protection.
