SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Micro Focus
(LSE: MCRO; NYSE: MFGP) today launched Data Protector Express and
Data Protector Premium – the latest editions of its
enterprise-grade backup and disaster recovery solutions. As
organizations embrace Hybrid IT, DevOps, and Predictive Analytics
their resulting IT environment requires an advanced data protection
system to address the new security, availability, cost, and data
governance needs. Built-on an adaptive architecture that combines
analytics, automation, and built-in security, these latest
solutions meet the most demanding data protection and compliance
requirements for global enterprise hybrid IT environments.
"There is really no room for error when it comes to protecting
corporate data, and there is a very finite budget and set of
resources for doing so," said Balaji
Venkatraman, senior director, PM and R&D at Micro Focus.
"Our customers face this challenge on a daily basis as they work
through daily location and storage challenges, outages, breaches,
data theft and more. Those considerations define our latest Data
Protection solutions – they ensure that customers have the
security, speed, control and flexibility to protect data wherever
it resides within a hybrid IT environment and at a lower TCO than
ever before."
Data Protector Express
Featuring socket-based pricing,
Data Protector Express is intended for highly virtualized
enterprises that are looking for advanced enterprise-class
protection for their virtual environments at an optimal price.
Data Protector Express capabilities include:
- Agent-less protection for both VMware and Hyper-V
workloads
- Advanced VM recovery capabilities
- Integrated reporting and analytics
Data Protector Premium
Based on capacity-based
licensing, Data Protector Premium is intended for enterprises that
are looking for a unified backup and disaster recovery solution for
mixed physical, virtual, and multi-cloud workloads.
The Premium edition includes:
- Integration with leading IT operations tools, including Micro
Focus Business Value Dashboard and Operations Orchestration
products
- Integrated reporting and analytics for deep insights that help
organizations reduce cost and complexity of backup operations
- Native integrations with applications and infrastructure for
high-speed backup and recovery at the highest level of
integrity
- Integrations with leading Cloud providers that enable
organizations to move secondary data to the cloud of their
choice
A key use case of Data Protector Premium is industry-scale
mission-critical SAP environment protection. As an SAP-certified
solution, it provides application-consistent protection for both
SAP and SAP HANA applications deployed on single and multi-node
cluster deployments.
"Organizations deploying SAP HANA applications must consider the
protection and availability strategy for these critical
environments," said Sanjay Salunkhe,
EVP, Engineering Services at Capgemini. "Among various solutions
that are out there, Micro Focus Data Protector stands out for its
comprehensive capabilities for SAP and SAP HANA systems. The native
integration with HANA and advanced
SLA reporting helps organizations meet all SAP recommended data
protection best-practices and ensure that RPO/RTO requirements are
always met."
Pricing and Licensing
The latest Data Protector solutions allow customers flexible
consumption of entitlement between Express and Premium versions.
Customers can purchase the Express edition based on sockets to
protect a virtualized environment. As their needs expand and an
upgrade to the Premium edition is required, customers can easily
switch to capacity-based consumption for mixed physical and virtual
environments.
