Incremental synchronisation can occur at user-defined intervals to maintain currency between production environments and virtual standby systems. Multiple hardware-independent virtual recovery environments may be hosted on a single hypervisor to provide an affordable disaster recovery alternative for previously under-protected servers.
Easy Test Recovery
PlateSpin Protect enables data-centres to perform quick test recovery plans without interruption to the backup process, bringing simplified, auditable testing to disaster recovery procedures.
One-click Failover
Recover workloads quickly by booting up a replicated copy on the virtual recovery server.
Secure Conversions
128-bit AES encryption and end-to-end SSL support provide state-of-the-art protection for high-security data-centre environments.
PlateSpin Flexible Images
Reduce recovery costs by maintaining a library of hardware independent images which may be deployed to any hardware make or model to recover the workload. This option is suitable for offsite hosted recofery where similar hardware is not always available or when the recofery process requires to be tested on a regular basis.
Multiplatform Workload Protection
PlateSpin Protect supports different virtualization solutions including VMware ESX & ESXi and Microsoft Virtual Server as well as multiple operating systems, hardware configurations and imaging technologies.
Suport for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Workloads
PlateSpin Protect enables organisations to protect critical 32-bit and 64-bit Windows workloads. PlateSpin Protect provides full support for Windows enviroments including 64-bit Windows 2003 and Windows XP workloads.
Live Incremental Replication
PlateSpin Protect enables the incremental replication or incremental image capture of active Windows servers without taking the source servers offline or having to reboot. Incremental imaging allows you to recover from corrupted systems or configuration mistakes usinig historical point in time recovery points.
Multiple Concurrent Replications
Workload protection initiatives demand reliable and efficient replication. PlateSpin Protect allows multiple concurrent workload replications for maximum efficiency and scalability.
Block-level and File Replication
Block-level replication enables the protection of transactional workloads such as mail servers and database servers. With block-level transfer, only the portion of a file that has changed is replicated, making it suitable for incrementally synchronising large database severs and enabling efficient offsite data backups. File-based replication offers a fase and efficient solution for protecting more static workloads while maintaining server uptime.
Server Sync
Reduce the risks associated with workload protection projects. Peform an initial transfer to the target recovery site or host, test the workload in the new location while continuing to run the source sand then perform a final sync before cutting over the workload. SErver Sync also helps when the source and destination are geographically distributed. Removing the4 necessity for a full system replication can dramatically accelerate workload protection over the wide area network.
Automatic Discorery
Automatically discover existing physical or virtual machines throughout the network for complete visibility into the data centre landscape including hardware,. operating systems, services and application inventory. Thsi feature allows you to quickly in=dnetify workloads that should be protected using discovered workload details.
Central Management Console
Whether you are protecting workloads via images or replication to standby virtual machines, PlateSpin Protect allows you to manage your protection environment through a single secure console. The management console connects to the management server over standard Web protocols, making it easy to user across multiple data-centre sites and firewalls.
On-the-fly configuration
Reconfigure and right-size CPU, disk, memory and network resources on-the-fly to adjust to changing workloads and target recovery machine resources. Charge critical parameters on restore and right-size the target recovery server to match workload requirements.
Role-based Access
PlateSpin Protect includes a range of security features including user authentication, authorisation and logging so that system administrators may effectively manage and monitor user activities, assigning the right privileges to the right users.
Cohesive Planning and Execution
PlateSpin Protect works in tandem with PlateSpin Recon, the Novell analysis and planning solution, to provide the only solution that automates the assessment, planning, testing and replication phases of a successful disaster recofery initiative.
