IPR INTERNATIONAL, LLC ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY OF THE DataGuardian VMware PLUG-IN, PROVIDING CLIENTS UTILIZING VMware A COMPREHENSIVE DISASTER RECOVERY SOLUTION.

Conshohocken, PA – August 2, 2007 IPR International, a leader in managed data protection and recovery, today announced general availability of the DataGuardian VMware Plug-in powered by EVault, for its DataGuardian Online Backup clients.  

DataGuardian VMware Plug-in extends platform and application support of DataGuardian Online Backup service.  The offering enables hot backups and faster restores of entire VM environments including all major operating systems, applications and files.

As the market for virtual server technology continues to grow, data protection tools have not kept pace, creating a gap in protection between physical and virtual environments. The DataGuardian VMware Plug-in reliably protects the entire VMware virtual environment - automating hot backups and faster restores of virtual machines, operating systems, applications and files, while keeping resource consumption to a minimum and meeting specific disaster recovery planning and regulatory compliance requirements.

The DataGuardian VMware Plug-in leverages and extends DataGuardian's delta technology to virtual environments by backing up and compressing only new and changed data at the block level, which enhances network performance, decreases the backup window and lowers the overall storage footprint. The DataGuardian VMware Plug-in also complements DataGuardian's platform and application support, to offer even more granular protection of both physical and virtual environments, including 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows, Linux, Sun Solaris, Novell NetWare, HP-UX, IBM AIX and System i (formerly iSeries and AS/400), Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Clusters and Oracle.
