Microsoft TechEd North America, a prestigious convention that reveals new ground-breaking technology, recently promoted new virtual desktop technology at their annual event.
This year’s event took place throughout this week at the New Orleans Morial Convention Center and the new solutions are set to make an impact on virtual security.
Specifically the displays and presentations revealed new integrated recovery solutions for disaster recovery, as a way to backup Windows for virtual as well as physical server environments.
These new computing solutions will be of particular importance to companies that find it difficult to locate the right solution for their business.
Eric Burgener, IT and virtual security expert, said, "Organizations that require application-consistent recovery options for mixed physical and virtual environments face many challenges in finding a single, low overhead recovery solution that covers all existing backup and disaster recovery requirements."
For example, companies need a solution that eliminates discrete backups, reduces hardware costs and increases productivity of staff, who would otherwise have to currently maintain the system. All of which enables administrators to recover application data immediately and reliably.
Another important feature that was demonstrated was an application-consistent recovery option for major Microsoft applications, such as Exchange, SQL, various NTFS based applications and SharePoint.
Mr Burgener added, “It's become clear that older, point-in-time based approaches to data protection that worked well on physical servers can't just be transferred to virtual server environments.
But disk-based 'continuous' technologies offer many options to address these requirements and make administrators' lives much easier."
