Infinitely Virtual Introduces InfiniteProtect 2.0 Cloud-Based Backup/DR Solution

Infinitely Virtual unveiled InfiniteProtect 2.0, an enhanced and expanded version of its cloud-based backup/DR solution.

Aimed at existing and new customers alike, InfiniteProtect 2.0 enables users to backup files safely – and retain them indefinitely – from anywhere in the world, based on any schedule they choose. It can perform synthetic full backups of Windows Servers, Windows computers, NAS, mobile computers, Exchange Servers and SQL Servers, along with entire Hyper-V and VMware hosts – with one transaction. 

InfiniteProtect 2.0 is 100% Web-based.

Among the highlights:

• Ability to restore individual files or a complete server from the Web browser

• An faster and intuitive Web interface

• Increased reliability and functionality throughout

• For those with VMware or HyperV, local backup and restore and site-to-site DR

• Powered by Veeam Software, Inc., the provider in backup and restore technology, 2.0 encompassing solutions for Exchange, Active Directory, SQL Server and more

Based in Baar, Switzerland, Veeam develops backup, DR and virtualization management software for VMware and Hyper-V virtual environments. Veeam has pioneered a new market of Availability for the Always-On Enterprise by helping organizations meet RTPO of less than 15 minutes for all applications and data, through a new kind of solution that delivers high-speed recovery, data loss avoidance, verified recoverability, leveraged data and visibility.

“With InfiniteProtect 2.0, we have redoubled our commitment to providing a streamlined, smart Web-based solution for backup and DR,” said Adam Stern, CEO, Infinitely Virtual. “SMBs want a solution that is both affordable and matches up with their needs, and they want to keep costs in check but be confident that they have a parachute. Drawing on Veeam technology, InfiniteProtect 2.0 does all this and a great deal more. For SMBs, there’s no simpler or more powerful way to retain and restore organizational data – and retrieve it quickly and securely in the event of a calamity.“

With DR backup, customers can restore to either a new local server or to a cloud server – or, in the event of an emergency, to company’s Enterprise Virtualization Environment (E.V.E.). DR with Veeam technology means VM to VM replication.

InfiniteProtect 2.0 encompasses Veeam’s backup, restore and DR technologies, among them:

• Veeam Explorer for Exchange
  Veeam Explorer for Exchange offers technology that provides instant visibility into Exchange backups, granular recovery of individual items and easy-to-use eDiscovery options – all without restoring the full Exchange database or entire server.

• Veeam Explorer for Active Directory
  Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Active Directory provides fast and reliable object-level recovery for Active Directory from a single-pass, agentless backup or storage snapshot – without the need to restore an entire VM or use third-party tools.

• Veeam Explorer for SQL Server
  Veeam Explorer for SQL Server delivers fast, transaction-level recovery of SQL databases. With agentless transaction log backup and replay, users can perform point-in-time restores of SQL Server databases – down to an individual transaction – achieving recovery time and point objectives of less than 15mn.

• Instant VM Recovery, which helps maintain system availability when it’s needed most. Instead of making users wait for hours, Instant VM Recovery immediately restores a VM back into the production environment by running it directly from the backup file to minimize disruption and the system downtime of crucial production VMs. It is also a snap to use. Rather than provisioning storage, extracting the VM backup and copying the content to production, Instant VM Recovery restarts any VM from any restore point (incremental or full) in a matter of minutes – not hours — directly from the backup.

• Advanced Replication which is designed to avoid data loss and dramatically improve recovery time to less than 15mn for all applications and data, minimizing the impact on infrastructure. Veeam’s 2-in-1: backup and replication provides users with a copy of any VM in a ready-to-start state, so if a VM goes down, a standby VM is immediately at the ready. Advanced Replication also means enhanced availability for any virtualized application, image-based replication on-site for availability, or off-site for DR – with no impact on the production environment.

• Instant File-level Recovery which enables users to recover OS files and folders, on the fly, directly from an image-level backup – without the preliminary step of extracting virtual disks. It’s a simple matter to recover files from Windows and Linux VMs, or any of 17 supported guest file systems.
