Instant recovery via native application integrations

Support for mission-critical applications and databases is enabled with online extensions for business applications including Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft SQL, Oracle, SAP, SAP HANA, IBM Db2, Sybase ASE, PostgreSQL, and MySQL to provide application-aware backup and recovery.
Granular recovery is enabled with extensions which enhance the application management GUI with backup and recovery capabilities, and provide application owners with a self-service option to search and recover single items.

Backup and recovery for virtual environments

Data Protector fully integrates with VMware vSphere and MS Hyper-V virtualization platforms providing protection schemes such as local and remote snapshot backup/recovery, Power-On and Live-Migration of VMs. Other Hypervisors such as KVM and Nutanix AHV are supported and benefit from the automation/orchestration capabilities of Data Protector.
Granular recovery of VM files can be achieved for all client types, whether physical, virtual, or cloud, and is complemented by virtualization reports and predictive analytics.

Best-in class platform integrations including the cloud

Data Protector Express supports backup and restore of virtual environments and includes features such as snapshot integration, cloud, and encryption support. It offers socket based licensing to provide predictable licensing capability with no monitoring required for virtualized workloads.
