VMware announces VDR 1.2: Even more reasons to use it with CloudArray

By Greg Roody

VMware announced a new version of VDR today that has a lot of improvements and new functionality.  In a nutshell, the new release supports:

  • a file level restore client for Linux virtual machines
  • ability to run up to 10 VDR appliances per vCenter Server instance
  • ability to fast switch between the deployed appliances via the vSphere Client plug-in
  • Better deduplication performance


They also addressed a lot of issues reported by customers since the initial release.

In support of this new release, we have placed a new release of CloudArray on our download site.   If you haven’t evaluated VDR yet, now is a good time.  Combined with CloudArray, you can quickly and easily store your VMware restore files on Cloud Storage, wither Public or Private with complete security.

This can extend your BC/DR capabilities to offsite storage without the expense of provisioning a second site or handling and managing tape.

Details of VDR 1.2 can be found at http://blogs.vmware.com/uptime/2010/06/new-vdr-release-out-today.html.
