NAKIVO introduces IT monitoring for VMware vSphere

The latest NAKIVO Backup & Replication 10.5 version with enhanced anti-ransomware protection is launched at the same time as the new solution NAKIVO IT Monitoring for VMware vSphere.

NAKIVO achieves yet another milestone in the company’s evolution with the new solution for monitoring VMware vSphere environments. IT Monitoring is an essential tool for virtual environments, giving organisations complete visibility into their infrastructure health and performance. The company also continues to improve backup protection against ransomware threats in NAKIVO Backup & Replication with the latest 10.5 release.

IT Monitoring for VMware vSphere

Monitoring the resource usage of VMware infrastructure is essential for identifying performance issues, avoiding bottlenecks and improving VM efficiency. Building on the company’s reliable data protection platform and years of expertise with VMware vSphere infrastructures, NAKIVO delivers a new highly efficient solution – IT Monitoring for VMware vSphere.

IT administrators can now monitor the memory, CPU and disk usage of their VMware vSphere infrastructure from the NAKIVO Backup & Replication unified web interface. The new addition is useful both for real-time diagnostics and strategic planning. In addition to detecting ongoing issues, IT administrators can project future changes in resource consumption to avoid bottlenecks, all from the same interface they use to manage their backups.

“VM performance monitoring can be a powerful tool in terms of ensuring infrastructure efficiency and agility. NAKIVO’s unique position in the backup and recovery industry also offers us insights into how monitoring can help prevent data loss in virtual environments,” says Bruce Talley, CEO of NAKIVO Inc.

Hardened Virtual Appliance

Businesses are under a growing threat from cybercrime, where data is not the only target anymore, but backups as well. With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, customers can create immutable backups in Amazon S3 buckets or a local Linux-based repository.

Version 10.5 brings Hardened Virtual Appliance as NAKIVO continues to help customers improve resilience in the face of ransomware. The new feature offers a simple way to deploy the solution and protect backup data from ransomware at the same time. By deploying the solution as a hardened virtual appliance running Ubuntu Server, customers can use the local repository deployed with the VA to create immutable backups. This immutability cannot be lifted by users – not even the superuser – so the backups stay protected from modification, deletion or encryption by ransomware for the entire specified period.

Feature Availability

The new features are available in the 15-day Free Trial, which includes full access to NAKIVO IT Monitoring and all new features of NAKIVO Backup & Replication.

“Protecting the data that customers entrust to NAKIVO Backup & Replication is paramount. We want every company to operate safely without having to look over their shoulders at every turn or worry about their data being encrypted by ransomware,” says Bruce Talley, CEO of NAKIVO Inc.
