Virtualization event
BELLEVUE, WA (PRWEB) Sept. 8, 2008 - SteelEye Technology, Inc. (steeleye.com),
a leading provider of business continuity and disaster recovery solutions for
multi-vendor IT infrastructures, today announced SteelEye DataKeeper support for
the Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V at the Microsoft Get Virtual Now (getvirtualnow.com)
launch event in Bellevue, Washington.
The need for virtual server protection is increasing as IT organizations
consolidate workloads using virtualization software. Further magnifying this
need is market research firm IDC's recent estimate that the virtualization
market is expected to expand from $1.8 billion in 2007 to $5.3 billion in 2012,
a compound annual growth rate in excess of 30 percent. As business-critical
applications and data increasingly reside within virtual machines, protection
against both planned and unplanned outages is a business imperative. DataKeeper
addresses these challenges and provides customers with a highly available,
disaster-proof IT environment running on Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V.
DataKeeper is a highly optimized data replication solution for Windows Server
2003 and Windows Server 2008. The product is sold in two versions: DataKeeper
delivers data replication services as an extension to Windows Server 2003 and
Windows Server 2008 while DataKeeper Cluster Edition further extends the
capabilities of Windows Server Failover Clustering. Both editions support
real-time replication of Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtual machines between
physical servers across either LAN or WAN connections.
"There are many advantages to virtualization," said Bob Williamson, senior vice
president of product management, SteelEye Technology, Inc., "but these
advantages are neutralized unless they are protected against infrastructure
failure. In tandem with Microsoft's industry-leading technology, we have created
an affordable, seamless solution to these availability demands. By taking the
heavy lifting and guesswork out of disaster recovery, we are empowering our
joint customers with significant value and peace of mind."
"Through server consolidation and business continuity, Windows Server 2008
Hyper-V helps mutual customers achieve better resource utilization and reduce IT
costs. It also provides them with greater agility and flexibility in their
operations," said David Greschler, director of integrated virtualization
strategy, Microsoft Corp. "With the addition of DataKeeper, customers can
maximize the uptime of critical business resources residing within Windows
Server 2008 Hyper-V virtual machines."
By keeping a running Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtual machine in sync with a
standby VM in an alternate location, DataKeeper enables disaster recovery
without the data loss typically associated with traditional backup and restore
technology. Real-time continuous replication of active Windows Server 2008
Hyper-V VMs helps ensure that in the event of a disaster, the standby server can
be activated with minimal to no data loss.
DataKeeper Cluster Edition allows administrators to build "shared-nothing" and
geographically dispersed Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V clusters. By eliminating
the requirement for shared storage, the administrator can protect against both
planned and unplanned downtime of servers and storage. The use of DataKeeper in
tandem with Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V VMs allows for non-disruptive disaster
recovery testing. By simply accessing the replicated VMs in the disaster
recovery site, the administrator can segment a virtual network separate from the
production network and start the replicated VMs for disaster recovery testing.
Complete disaster recovery testing can be performed without impacting the
production site at all.
