Data protection firm NovaStor has introduced Business Essentials Network (BEN), a new network backup application for SMBs.
NovaBACKUP BEN is a centralised network backup application for Windows Workstations, Microsoft SQL and Exchange as well as for agent-less backup of virtual machines under VMware and Hyper-V.
The new product provides centralised management of servers and workstations with a central management console. Backup is performed to central NAS or DAS devices.
The central management console initiates the data backup and restore manually or through automated schedules. It also empowers users with little IT-knowledge to control all backup and restore processes locally as well as offsite, remotely via the Internet.
The new network backup application eliminates the need for additional hardware or enables optimal use of the existing infrastructure. It is well suited for networks of three servers and up.
NovaBACKUP BEN supports all standard storage devices such as hard disks, CD/DVD and USB as well as single tape drives (magnetic tape).
The backups are created on a central storage device (Network Attached Storage/NAS) or a local storage (Direct Attached Storage/DAS). Cloud Backup capability to protect data at a redundant location is a standard option of NovaBACKUP BEN.
