Microsoft is adding new features to its Data Protection Manager offering, including improved snapshot and recovery capabilities and better support for Microsoft applications and platforms.
Microsoft announced the release to manufacturing of System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 at Storage Networking World in Dallas today. Version 2 of DPM has already been tested by thousands of beta users, said Bala Kasiviswanathan, Microsoft's director of branch and storage solutions.
The new offering also includes application-level de-duplication, or single-instance storage. It offers document-level recovery to the same server, a different server or tape, said Kasiviswanathan.
