Backing up data from virtual servers has become an important component of comprehensive backup solutions as companies, from small business to large enterprises, increase their use of virtualization technology.

SEP Software is proud to announce its new Citrix XenServer Module “Xen and Now”. It offers Disaster Recovery and hot backup functionality for Citrix VMs. It provides an online backup & restore of virtual machines running on a Citrix XenServer. Consistent backup is achieved by creating a snapshot of every virtual machine. The SEP strategy is to provide an enterprise solution that can be managed with a single simplified interface.

For the solution to be truly useful in business, it must be robust, easily manageable and secure. The Xen and Now backup solution provides:

• Agent-less Technology
  
• Built-in Encryption Capabilities
• Management Interface Integration
• Simplifies Backup Management with a Single Console for XenServer and the Entire Enterprise
• Linux Server & Windows VSS Server Snapshots
• Can See All Guests With Authentication to the XenServer Pool
• Can Be Used to Keep a Disaster Recovery Site in Sync for a Hot or Cold Availability Solution
• Disaster Recovery: Used to Synchronize Your Virtual to Another Pool or Offsite Location
• Can Restore to Other XenServer Hosts of Pool
• Can Backup Host Specific & Metadata Info
• Convert Between Virtual and Physical Servers (V2P and P2V)
• Backup Methods : Offline Backup, Online Live Memory Backup, Online Quiesced Backup, Online Normal Backup
  
• Guest backup consistency
• Solves Activation Loss (Does not require user to enter Windows product key when restoring a VM)
• Platform independent functionality

Activation Loss, a common problem affecting many organizations using Citrix XenServer, occurs when a user restores a VM to a different host server and Windows Server 2008/Windows 7 requires the user to re-enter the product license key. In fact, all third party software on the VM will require re-activation. SEP Sesam's Xen and Now is the solution on the market to solve this problem using Spontaneous License Re-Activation. This is a critical solution for hospitals, financial institutions, data centers and any large, fast paced environment.

By implementing Xen and Now, companies realize savings in operation expenses, time and manpower.

SEP sesam's Xen and Now is Trusted to Enhance Citrix Networking and Virtualization Solutions. To find out more on this, read the July 27, 2011 press release here.
