New workload management and data protection tools help it administrators better meet user demands for data access anytime, anywhere
NetIQ has unveiled a new generation of PlateSpin workload management and disaster recovery products, including PlateSpin® Forge 4, PlateSpin® Protect 11 and PlateSpin® Migrate 11. These latest versions provide fast and efficient disaster recovery, server consolidation, and migration capabilities for today’s virtual and physical server workloads announced the press release.
When combined with PlateSpin® Recon 4, the latest version of NetIQ’s planning and analysis tool, the PlateSpin family allows IT professionals to set and maintain accurate service-level agreements (SLAs) for disaster recovery (DR), protect physical servers in an increasingly virtual world, and speed up transfers while reducing downtime during server migration.
Today’s enterprises are challenged to meet increasingly aggressive recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs), while protecting more server workloads with stagnant or even shrinking budgets. What’s more, limitations of existing solutions prevent IT departments from backing up both their physical and virtual workloads to the same infrastructure.
“Business user expectations – driven by their smartphone and tablet experiences – for access to corporate data are unforgiving: it’s access at anytime from anywhere. Those expectations feed the aggressive RPOs and RTOs IT administrators are pushing to meet,” said Mike Robinson, senior manager, Solution Strategy at NetIQ. “These latest features in PlateSpin® Protect, PlateSpin Forge and PlateSpin Migrate, coupled with PlateSpin Recon 4, provide a combined toolset that allows today’s professionals to plan for, manage and support any server consolidation, migration, or disaster recovery scenario that can impact the ability to support today’s business users.”
