Quest Software has introduced a new unified data protecetion application, NetVault Extended Architecture (XA) that will enable organisations align backup and recovery directly to their service continuity needs.
The new application allows administrators to organise, schedule, view, and manage backups based on specific business and technology services.
With NetVault XA, DBAs, application admins, and VMware admins have access to customised view an workflows that map directly to specific SLAs.
Administrators now have direct visibility into the recoverability of the specific IT services they manage and can use specialised data protection tools to perform granular, platform-specific backup and recovery tasks, without sacrificing the convenience and simplicity of single-console management.
NetVault XA also features an adaptive policy engine that enforces specific data protection controls and requirements. It has the ability to act as a gateway to multi-vendor clouds, enabling users to manage both on-premise and cloud assets from a single interface.
The new release offers a built-in validation of a given protection plan through alerts that will allow users know whether or not an SLA is achievable based on the established backup and recovery parameters.
It also includes remote, cloud-based operating capabilities, giving users anytime, anywhere access, including the ability to manage and control backup and recovery operations directly from their iPads.
NetVault XA will enable customers to deploy and manage all of the company’s backup and recovery technologies, including the NetVault, vRanger, LiteSpeed and Recovery Manager product families, from a single console, while leveraging a host of shared services.
