SnapCenter software provides centralized control and oversight, allowing users to manage applications aware backup, restore, and clone operations across on-premises, hybrid cloud, and public cloud environments. In addition, we are also introducing the SnapCenter plugin for VMware vSphere 5.0 version to manage vm aware backups. This release brings several key benefits to our valued customers, empowering them with enhanced data protection capabilities and simplified management processes.
- Snapshot copy locking(aka Tamperproof Snapshots): Protecting Your Data from Ransomware Attacks
Ransomware attacks have become increasingly sophisticated, targeting backups and snapshot recovery points to delete them before encrypting files. With SnapCenter 5.0, we are introducing support for Tamperproof Snapshots and SnapLock features. These features ensure that Snapshot copies are protected from deletion or alteration by ransomware attackers or rogue administrators. By implementing these security measures, SnapCenter enables greater availability of your data even after a ransomware attack.
- SnapCenter and SnapMirror Business Continuity: Seamless Backup and Recovery for Applications and Virtual Machines
Customers who rely on SnapMirror Business Continuity, for achieving zero Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) can now leverage SnapCenter for their backup and recovery needs. SnapCenter enables the creation of snapshots that can be used to protect and recover Applications and Virtual Machines enabling always available storage solutions with application level granularity . In the event of failover to secondary or failback to a primary , SnapCenter seamlessly continues to operate backups, restores, and clones in the survival node, ensuring uninterrupted data protection.
- Linux Filesystem Protection: Safeguarding Your Linux Data
We understand the importance of backing up file systems for preserving data integrity, security, and availability. While we have always provided application-consistent protection for databases running on Linux, with the release of SnapCenter 5.0, customers can now protect their Linux filesystems hosted on Enterprise storage. This expanded support allows organizations to safeguard their critical Linux data using the robust capabilities of SnapCenter.
- Tech Refresh: Streamlining Data Protection during Technology Refreshes
Technology refreshes are a common practice for businesses looking to boost performance and optimize costs. However, in the past, these refreshes have often hindered existing backups and the restoration of data. SnapCenter 5.0 addresses this challenge by ensuring that refreshing your SnapCenter server, plugin host, or storage will not affect the backup and restoration of your applications and Virtual Machines. It's important to note that only storage tech refresh is supported for Virtual Machines.
- Tag-Based Protection: Simplifying Backup Management in VMware Environments
In VMware environments with hundreds of thousands of Virtual Machines (VMs) to back up, managing the backup processes can be time-consuming and complex. SnapCenter 5.0 introduces Tag-Based Protection, allowing customers to protect their Virtual Machines using tags. This feature provides a simpler and automated way to manage backups, reducing the time and effort required to ensure the safety of your valuable VMs.
We are excited to bring these powerful enhancements to our customers with the release of SnapCenter 5.0. with SnapLocking of Snapshots, SnapMirror Business Continuity, Linux Filesystem Protection, streamlined Tech Refresh processes, and Tag-Based Protection, SnapCenter continues to deliver comprehensive data protection and management capabilities across diverse IT environments. Upgrade to SnapCenter 5.0 today and experience the next level of data protection for your applications and Virtual Machines.
