Open backup and archive for virtualised environments

Quantum Corp. has announced enhancements to the popular Quantum vmPRO™ software that bring open standard data protection and archive capabilities to virtualised environments. In addition to disk or cloud, vmPRO 3.1 now leverages Scalar LTFS tape technology to provide user-accessible, searchable archive capabilities for VMware data. The new software also greatly simplifies management while improving performance and workload efficiency for backing up virtual machines in their native VMware (VMDK) format.
