StorageCraft announced the immediate availability of StorageCraft
ShadowProtect SPX 7. It enables customers to meet and beat their recovery
time and recovery point objectives, recover files and folders in
minutes, restore failed servers, and instantly boot backup images into
virtual machines using StorageCraft VirtualBoot technology.
ShadowProtect SPX 7 now delivers enhanced data security, scalability,
and performance, including support for new versions of Linux OS, full

workflow improvements.
The
new enhancements will ensure that IT teams, who are constantly

requirements regardless of whether they are responsible for a dozen or
thousands of backups.
ShadowProtect SPX 7 enhancements include:
- Data Security: Businesses
can recover files, folders, and entire systems in seconds and boot
backup images as virtual machines using patented VirtualBoot technology.
SPX7 now supports new versions of Linux OS and ReFS support for
Windows, which offers built-in data corruption detection for all data
types, including unstructured data such as high-res images, videos, and
design files.
- Scalability: From
mass deployment and configuration to automated verification and
alerting, ShadowProtect SPX 7 protects systems with minimal
intervention.
- Instant Recovery of Larger Volumes: Larger
volume support for VirtualBoot allows partners to instantly recover
larger data set sizes of >2TB up to 4TB systems (UEFI) within their
customer environments.
- Improved Installation Workflow and Productivity: Enhanced
workflows will make it easier for service desk engineers to quickly
onboard new environments and complete support tasks with greater
efficiency. These enhancements further extend the ShadowControl central
monitoring and management console's value, which provides full
visibility into backup jobs' status, ensuring simple administration and
powerful tools to remedy issues before they impact performance.
