NAKIVO Inc., a provider of data protection software for VMware virtualized environments and cloud backup, has released NAKIVO Backup & Replication v4.1. The latest version introduces new features for cloud, hosting, and service providers who can use NAKIVO Backup & Replication to provide VM Backup-as-a-Service, Replication-as-a-Service, and Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service in their cloud environments.
NAKIVO provides an HTTP API that enables customers to automate and orchestrate VM backup, replication, and recovery jobs within NAKIVO Backup & Replication. The kit includes API documentation and code examples and has been designed so that even non-developers can use it. The API enables cloud, hosting, and service providers to integrate NAKIVO Backup & Replication v4.1 with cloud monitoring, automation, and orchestration solutions.
NAKIVO Backup & Replication can now automatically create, encrypt, and upload support bundles to a NAKIVO support server. This will help NAKIVO support to quickly identify a root cause of an issue and provide a solution. In addition, the new Call Home feature can help NAKIVO Support to discover, investigate, and suggest possible resolutions to a problem.
In addition to Windows and Linux installers, NAKIVO provides pre-configured Virtual Appliances (VAs) which enable a streamlined deployment of the product. In the new version, pre-configured VAs now have a new UI which enables users to configure VA networking and increase backup repository size without the need to use Linux commands.
