The latest backup and disaster recovery solution from StorageCraft Technology Corp. enables StorageCraft ShadowProtect® users to instantly 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,” said Scott Barnes, StorageCraft’s chief technology officer. “This groundbreaking technology further solidifies StorageCraft’s position as a leading global backup and disaster recovery solution provider for both virtual and physical environments.”
In addition to the ability to instantly boot on a Hyper-V host, VirtualBoot for Hyper-V has features and enhancements that help IT professionals protect availability of their systems.
