StorageCraft ShadowXafe V4.0 to Unify Entire BC Stack

StorageCraft Technology Corp. upgradedf ShadowXafe, its data and system backup and recovery software.

It gives users the ability to enhance and extend their BC solution with flexibility and operational efficiency while reducing cost.

Unlike competitive alternatives that force customers to choose between flexibility and simplicity, it delivers both. It allows users the flexibility of managing multiple physical and virtual environments and workloads with the simplicity of OneSystem, the firm’s centralized cloud-based management system. By offering a ‘right fit’ protection platform, customers can customize across specific customer SLAs , RTOs, and RPOs.

Unified management: ShadowXafe 4.0 provides an unified workflow and management system that enables it to coexist with the recently introduced OneXafe Solo plug-and-protect backup and recovery appliance. As a result, customers can now mix and match software and hardware environments according to their requirements.

Hyper-V, vCenter and ESXi support: With Hyper-V, vCenter and ESXi support, customers can protect large and mid-range VMs with a single click, and protect high SLA VMs with ShadowXafe’s agent-based and agentless solution. It also allows users to manage remote sites, instantly restore, and replicate and recover to a central on-premise, data center location, or to use StorageCraft DR-as-a-Service (DraaS) Ccloud for orchestrated recovery.

Integration with business management platforms: ShadowXafe 4.0 eliminates pain points around licensing and billing through consolidated automated licensing and billing on ConnectWise Manage and Automate business management platforms.

Said Shridar Subramanian, CMO, said: “By expanding the use case deployments of ShadowXafe, and enabling it to coexist with OneXafe Solo implementations, we give customers unmatched levels of protection, simplicity, and flexibility. For our channel partners, it instantly extends their market and revenue potential without additional CAPEX or OPEX. They also benefit from increased efficiency and productivity and a reduction in management, complexity, and training costs.“

Designed specifically for SMBs, ShadowXafe 4.0 is quick to deploy, easy to manage, and reliable even under the most demanding circumstances. It ensures SLA-driven data protection and delivers recovery for physical machines and VMs. Integrated with the firm’s cloud-based DRaaS, it provides BC and orchestrated recovery with a single click. In the event of system failure, ransomware, data corruption, or natural disaster, SMBs can perform VM recovery in milliseconds and restore their entire infrastructure ins using the company’s patented VirtualBoot technology.

James Dyke, principal consultant and founder, BCDR Solutions, said: “We can now mix-and-match customer requirements with the relevant StorageCraft BC solution without complicating workflows or management experience. ShadowXafe 4.0 ensures we deliver best-in-class BC solutions regardless of workload and environment. In addition, we achieve a proven path for improving efficiency and optimizing margin. That is a ‘no compromise’ solution at its finest.“

ShadowXafe 4.0 is available through the company’s network of authorized resellers and distributors.
