Announcement posted by PR Deadlines 26 Nov 2015

SYDNEY, Nov. 26, 2015 – IT professionals can further maximise their investment in Microsoft Hyper-V with today’s announced release of StorageCraft® VirtualBoot® for Hyper-V. The latest backup and disaster recovery solution from StorageCraft Technology Corp. enables StorageCraft ShadowProtect® users to instantly boot a protected Windows system as a guest virtual machine directly on a Hyper-V host when using Windows Server 2012 R2.
 
“For years, IT professionals have used StorageCraft VirtualBoot to reliably recover their systems to a virtual environment through integration with Oracle VirtualBox. The expanded ability to instantly boot any point in time on a Hyper-V host gives organisations a greater chance of returning to normal operations after access to data and IT systems are lost,” said Scott Barnes, StorageCraft’s chief technology officer.
 
He added: “This groundbreaking technology further solidifies StorageCraft’s position as a leading global backup and disaster recovery solution provider for both virtual and physical environments.”
 
In addition to the ability to instantly boot on a Hyper-V host, VirtualBoot for Hyper-V has features and enhancements that help IT professionals protect availability of their systems. StorageCraft’s proven VirtualBoot technology has been used by IT professionals around the world for years to:
  • Reduce backup windows (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO)
  • Provide temporary system failover in the event of an emergency
  • Enable rapid testing and validation of offline production systems
Now StorageCraft is bringing all of these capabilities directly to the Hyper-V platform, resulting in a tightly integrated solution that leverages the existing investment in Windows Server.
