Quadric Software, a leader in enterprise backup and recovery solutions for the XenServer market, was named as one of the 20 Most Promising Virtualization Solution Providers for 2016. CEO and Co-founder, Phil Baskette, shares his thoughts on Quadric Software's success in an interview printed in the June 2016 edition of CIO Review. In the interview, Baskette also discusses the release of Alike 4.5 with Changed Block Tracking (CBT) for XenServer, and what the company has in store for the future.

Managing Editor, Jeevan George, explains the compelling advantages of virtualization "simplify IT operations and allow organizations to respond faster to changing business demands." Quadric Software understands that the same changing business demands in today's virtualization world make business continuity and disaster recovery that much more essential to any business or organization. This award was given to Quadric Software because of the company's demonstrated success in helping their customers protect their data in any sized infrastructure through a solution that was designed with the user's actual needs in mind.

This year, Quadric Software introduced Alike 4.0, which included multiple enhancements that resulted in the fastest backups Alike had ever provided. More recently, the company made a huge leap forward as the leading BDR solution for XenServer by being the first to introduce Changed Block Tracking for the Xen platform with Alike v4.5.

This powerful feature has made an enormous impact on the XenServer community. Alike can now complete backup and replication jobs for XenServer in a tiny fraction of the time that it took with previous versions. This has also garnered the attention of Quadric's major competitors. No other solution offers the power and speed of Alike's CBT for XenServer.

"Alike is the most popular BDR solution for Citrix XenServer for a reason-we are by far the most dedicated to the platform," explains Quadric Software CEO, Phil Baskette, adding, "Alike v4.5's new CBT feature, combined with unmatched deduplication offers the best performance and the most storage savings for XenServer environments, and no other solution can make the same claim about the speed and efficiency that Alike's CBT provides."

IT professionals around the world trust Alike to protect their environments, and the company has seen a recent surge of new customers who have left other BDR solutions for Alike because it is incredibly easy to use and offers enterprise functionality at an affordable price.

In a concluding statement, Baskette says, "Whenever we expand our data protection features, it's with the goal to help IT Administrators reduce their workload, save them money, and secure their backup environments to provide a quick recovery. We are proud to say that the new CBT feature reflects this mission and represents one of the many reasons CIO Review has recognized us as trailblazers in the virtualization movement."
