Eversync
Solutions Inc. announced the release of its Virtual Backup Software.

With this, mid-market customers can
protect their data using software that runs as a VMware virtual
appliance and backs up physical servers, virtual servers, and
applications. System administrators in virtual environments no longer
need a separate virtual-only data protection solution as they can now
protect their physical, virtual, and application servers with one
software.

It is available as
part of Eversync OS Release 5.1, an enterprise solution, including
replication, deduplication, archiving, and instant restores.

Jerome M. Wendt, president and lead
analyst at DCIG, remarked: "Eversync has put a real emphasis
on designing their products for the virtual environment, and this
virtual backup software product is the result of that effort. In our
evaluations of virtual backup software appliances, we have found
Eversync to be a better solution than many name-brand products."

The software is the first data
protection solution to be available as a subscription-based service.
With a subscription price starting at less than $200/month,
customers can get the benefits of usage-based pricing for backup and
replication as they prepare for future cloud deployments.

It is available in four packages,
based on raw storage capacity for data protection:

Basic Edition for $190/month – up to
2TB for effective storage of up to 20TB of data

Mid-Range Edition for $240/month – up
to 3TB for effective storage of up to 30TB of data

Enterprise Edition for $420/month – up
to 5TB for effective storage of up to 50TB of data

Enterprise Plus Edition for $800/month
– up to 10TB for effective storage of up 100TB of data

There are no separate per-server,
per-socket, or per-user fees.

"Today’s launch of Eversync
Virtual Backup Software marks the next big step in Eversync’s
transformation to a services business," said Victor Perez,
CEO, Eversync. "This radical new pricing model is our
response to our customers’ need for a stepping stone approach to
eventual transition to cloud services. Customers can move up from one
package to another as their storage needs grow, and eventually move
to a hybrid cloud solution where data is automatically tiered between
on-premise backups and the cloud."

The Eversync family of appliances and
the virtual backup software offer a user experience with a common UI
and management. The appliances and software products can be used
together in replication configurations and managed with a single
interface.

"As we move our datacenter to
100% virtualization, we are excited that Eversync is moving with us,"
said Kevin Robbins, IT administrator, Edgewave
Inc. who was one of the beta testers of Eversync’s Virtual Backup
Software. "Eversync’s Virtual Backup Software allows us to
use multiple sites for replication without installing backup
appliances at every location."

"Mid-market customers want
solutions that meet their backup and DR needs now, and help them on
their path to service and cloud based solutions in the future,"
said Deni Conor of SSG Now.
"Eversync’s exciting new pricing model and their cloud
strategy will give customers just that."

The Eversync solution includes
enterprise features at a mid-market price, including replication,
deduplication, and virtualization.

Replication – With DR options
that include site-to-site replication, remote office replication, and
site-to-cloud replication.

Deduplication – SSD
deduplication results in storage capacity reduction of over 10 times,
without sacrificing performance or CPU cycles.

VMware integration – Eversync
provides agentless backup of virtual servers through its integration
with VMware, including features like VM discovery and tracking,
change block tracking, browse and click instant restores of VMs, and
object level restores for Exchange and SQL Server running inside of
VMs.

Mobile applications – thes
software can be managed and monitored anytime, anywhere with the
Eversync Mobile App, available for all major mobile devices.
