Much awaited NAKIVO Backup & Replication v8.0 is released on Aug 27, 2018, with the rich set of features. NAKIVO Backup & Replication v8.0 bundled with Automatic Site Recovery. The Automatic site recovery orchestrates the entire site recovery process which includes testing, planned failover, emergency failover, failback, and data center migration. These features will definitely help customers to achieve the defined RTO and RPO without any manual work.
Advanced Site Recovery Workflows
NAKIVO Backup & Replication v8 offers a platform that users can build tailored recovery workflows to automate and simplify the entire site recovery process. For example, a Site Recovery procedure might have many steps with the different set of jobs:
- Shutdown the source VMs
- Run a final VM replication (Final Sync)
- change replica VM IPs (Destination VM)
- connect replica VMs to appropriate networks (Establish the connection to Recovered VM)
- Set the replica VM boot order
- Verify successful recovery
- send email notifications, etc.
Using Nakivo, we should be able to create a workflow for each job and underpin with Recovery job.
Non-Disruptive Site Recovery Testing
The industry has been changed significantly. There was a time when support teams use to site for 48hours to perform the test DR/ site Recovery. All the steps have been documented and people were executed one by one. Many cases, Production will be shut down for the DR drills. But nowadays, due to matured virtualization technologies and companies like Nakivo brings a lot of new things where DR test can be performed in an hour. In Nakio’s new release, we should be able to create the workflows with defined RTO. Site recovery can be done without impacting the production. Just initiate the site recovery workflow/job and have a cup of coffee to complete the recovery.
All-in-One Availability Solution – Single License
Software and hardware costs kill the business, especially SMB. Of course, for each an every product, there will be an industry leader. CTO must choose the product which can be affordable for their business in the long run. Nakivo saves the customer business by bundling all the availability solution in one product. Site Recovery is an integral feature of NAKIVO Backup & Replication and does not require separate licensing. With NAKIVO Backup & Replication v8, customers can use one solution for data backup, deduplication, granular restore, replication, and site recovery. All aspects of data protection and recovery can be managed from a single pane of glass and are covered by a single license.
Striking Pricing:
Until now, the cost of robust site recovery functionality has been prohibitive for most SMBs and even enterprises, with some solutions charging over $10,000 for just 25 VMs. With the release of v8, NAKIVO Backup & Replication can reduce the cost of data protection and site recovery dramatically. The Site Recovery feature is included in the Enterprise edition of NAKIVO Backup & Replication v8, which starts at $299 per socket and has no feature or capacity limitations.
