NAKIVO has announced today that it has started an open Beta program for NAKIVO Backup & Replication v6. All Beta program participants completing the program requirements will receive an Amazon gift card. More details and v6 Beta download are available at www.nakivo.com/en/beta/v6.html.
NAKIVO has announced today that it has released NAKIVO Backup & Replication v5.9. The new version can be installed directly on Intel-based Synology RackStation and DiskStation NAS devices, thus creating high-performance VM backup appliances. In addition to backing up VMware environments onsite and offsite, NAKIVO Backup & Replication can also back up VMs to Amazon cloud for further protection.
With NAKIVO Backup & Replication installed on a Synology NAS all VM data protection components are unified in a single system that is fast to deploy and easy to manage, while also not consuming the valuable resources of a VMware environment. The appliance combines backup hardware, backup software, backup storage, and data deduplication in a single device. This results in a smaller VMware footprint, less power and cooling, less maintenance, time, money, and – most of all – higher VM backup performance.
NAKIVO has announced today that it has released NAKIVO Backup & Replication v5.8. The new version can be installed directly onto a Western Digital NAS, thus creating a simple, fast, and affordable VM backup appliance, which can be used both onsite and offsite.
Cost savings, datacenter consolidation, and footprint reduction are just a few of the reasons driving the high popularity and adoption of VM backup appliances. With an appliance, all VM data protection components are unified in a single system that is fast to deploy and easy to manage, while also not consuming the valuable resources of a VMware virtualized environment. Backup appliances provide an all-in-one hardware, backup software, backup storage, and data deduplication in a single box. This results in a zero VMware footprint, less power and cooling, less maintenance, time, and money. However, these benefits come with some very high price tags, reaching as high as $75,000 per an appliance.
On the contrary, NAKIVO Backup & Replication v5.8 can be deployed even on entry-level NAS devices, as the product requires just 2 CPU cores and 1 GB of RAM to be fully operational, and still deliver high backup speeds. For example, the Western Digital DL 2100 NAS with 12 TBs of storage has a list price of less than $850 which is enough for the data backup needs of a typical VMware Essentials environment. When installed on the NAS, NAKIVO Backup & Replication v5.8 can achieve 1 Gbps backup speed (with data compression and deduplication turned on), fully utilizing the available bandwidth of the NAS. In addition to backing up the VMware environment to NAS, NAKIVO can also backup the virtual environment to Amazon cloud for further protection.

We are happy to support VMware community and provide VMware professionals with a fully-functional, yet a free VM backup and replication solution for their home and work labs,” Bruce Talley, CEO and Founder of NAKIVO.

Built for virtualization, NAKIVO Backup & Replication offers a complete data protection feature set for virtualized environments, including local and offsite VM backup and replication, support for live applications & databases (Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL, Oracle, etc.), granular recovery, network acceleration, global data deduplication , Web UI, AES-256 encryption, advanced reporting, and vCloud Director support.
NAKIVO announced the Beta program launch for NAKIVO ackup & Replication v3.0. The program provides early access to the upcoming version of NAKIVO Backup & Replication featuring single-click integration with Amazon cloud and an industry-first file level recovery from VM backups stored in a public cloud environment.
A sound data protection strategy calls for keeping business-critical VM backups offsite and public clouds provide a cost-effective and reliable answer. But until now, cloud based backups could only serve for disaster recovery purposes, because downloading an entire backup from a cloud and then running file recovery consumes an unacceptable amount of time. With NAKIVO Backup & Replication v3.0, files can be restored directly from backups stored in a public cloud, thus enabling operational recovery from the cloud.
In addition to cloud backup and recovery features, NAKIVO Backup & Replication v3.0 Beta offers a complete data protection feature set for virtualized environments, including local and offsite VM backup and replication, support for live applications & databases (Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL, Oracle, etc.), file level recovery from local and offsite backups, deduplication, compression, encryption, as well as scheduled and on-demand reporting.
All Beta program participants get 15% discount on the released product, have a chance of winning a Google Nexus tablet, can provide direct input into development, influence product design, and request new features.
“We are excited to introduce v3.0 Beta of our winning backup and replication solution,” said Bruce Talley, CEO, NAKIVO. “Together with VMware professionals – including vExperts, VCPs, and VCIs – we are developing the best product for the virtualization data protection market.”
