Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Software has announced the latest version of its Adaptive Backup and Recovery (ABR) Suite with new features that help customers secure their digital environments, lower costs, and reduce downtime.
The data protection portfolio includes HPE Data Protector, HPE Backup Navigator, HPE Storage Optimizer, and VM Explorer to deliver a centralized, integrated and streamlined approach to backup and recovery that reduces complexity and automates processes. The new features include enhanced always-on security capabilities including rest APIs, advanced automation, and a more intuitive user interface.
Shifting data center requirements, sophisticated security attacks such as ransomware, and explosive data growth are forcing today’s IT organizations to rethink backup and recovery processes, strategies, and infrastructure.
Organizations require software solutions that help them manage storage capacity, streamline backup functionalities, as well as automatically build-in disaster recovery in the instance of a breach.
According to an IDC study, the average total cost of unplanned application downtime is $1.25 billion to $2.5 billion per year, and the average cost of infrastructure failure per hour is $100,000.
“IT managers are under pressure to ensure more secure backup and faster recovery to reduce the downtime that leads to higher costs and risk,” said Stephen Spellicy, VP product management, Information Management & Governance, HPE Software. “The new innovations around the HPE Adaptive Backup and Recovery Suite enable IT staff to mitigate operational concerns, while providing streamlined processes, automation, and secure communications to better managing today’s digital environments.”
HPE Data Protector is an enterprise-class solution that centralizes and standardizes backup and recovery management across thousands of clients, repositories, platforms and locations. The flexible architecture provides scalability up to Petabytes of data and trillions of unique files across both physical and virtual environments.
Data Protector ensures the backup environment is secure by providing centralized communication, simplifying configuration through port consolidation, and automating application and disaster recovery.
The enhanced HPE Adaptive Backup and Recovery suite is now available globally. In addition, the suite is optimized for HPE’s storage portfolio including its StoreOnce, 3PAR, and StorEver offerings. The suite offers flexible pricing levels based on traditional a-la-carte model or capacity of data managed.
