Bangalore: Technology major HP has announced enhancements to HP Data Protector software that offers complete protection for virtual environments and flexible data reduction options up to 70 percent less than alternatives. This software lowers the cost of protecting data by reducing the amount of data backed-up, using storage capacity optimization options such as virtual full and deduplication.
According to a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of HP, more than half of organizations plan to increase their focus on, and budget related to, backup and recovery in 2009.
"Right now organizations need new ways to find short-term cost reductions while laying the groundwork to grow stronger," said Jonathan Martin, Worldwide Vice President & General Manager, Information Management, Software & Solutions, HP.
"HP Data Protector has been enhanced to help customers address their main priorities in data security, regulatory compliance, consolidation and virtualization. The new advancements to HP Data Protector, coupled with HP Software's zero percent financing option, gives customers a flexible sourcing option to address their most critical pain points today, while preparing for success upon the return of the economy," said Avijit Basu, Business Head, Information Management, HP Software & Solutions India.
HP Data Protector supports eight different methods of VMware Infrastructure protection including integration with the VMware Consolidated Backup framework for scalable, non-disruptive backup of virtual machines. This allows customers to choose specific recovery point/recovery time objectives for their information with one product and one user interface.
