NAKIVO Launches v11 with Advanced Security Features for Virtualized Environments and Microsoft 365

NAKIVO, a reputable vendor in data protection and disaster recovery, proudly announces the release of NAKIVO Backup & Replication v11. This new version introduces advanced functionalities tailored to meet the evolving needs of businesses in ensuring security for virtualized environments. With Proxmox agentless backup, direct cloud backup for Microsoft 365, expanded NAS cloud backup options, and robust cybersecurity measures, v11 delivers comprehensive data resilience across cloud, physical, and virtual environments. Customers can update their current version or download the 15-day free trial to experience the new features.

Proxmox Agentless Backup

As Proxmox VE continues to gain traction as a flexible and cost-effective open-source virtualization solution, NAKIVO Backup & Replication v11 steps in with powerful Proxmox agentless backup capabilities. Key Proxmox VM protection features include:

  • Proxmox Agentless Backup: Simplify Proxmox VE VM protection by removing the need for guest OS agents.
  • Incremental Backup with Native Change Tracking: Speed up the backup process by capturing only the changed blocks of data after the last full backup.
  • Flexible Storage Options: Store backups locally, in the cloud, on S3-compatible platforms, deduplication appliances, or on tape.
  • Enhanced Security with Encryption and Immutability: Protect backup data from ransomware and unauthorized access in both local and cloud storage.
  • Full VM Recovery and Granular Restore Options: Restore entire VMs or specific files to achieve tight recovery objectives.

Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365

To support the growing demand for cloud-based data resilience, the v11 of the NAKIVO solution for Microsoft 365 backup enables direct backups of Microsoft 365 data to leading public clouds, such as Amazon S3, Wasabi, Azure Blob, and other S3-compatible storage options. This feature empowers businesses to strengthen their disaster recovery strategy by:

  • Backing Up Data Offsite: Avoid the need for on-premises storage and meet compliance requirements.
  • Creating Multiple Backup Copies: Store backup copies in various locations for enhanced redundancy and quick recovery.
  • Applying Encryption and Immutability: Ensure data remains secure and tamper-proof, providing robust defense against ransomware.

NAS Cloud Backup

With v11, NAKIVO enhances NAS protection through flexible backup options to securely store NAS file shares in the cloud, on deduplication appliances, and on tape. This feature aligns with the 3-2-1 backup strategy, providing businesses with data redundancy and security:

  • Backup to Multiple Destinations: Support cloud and on-premises storage targets for increased flexibility.
  • Immutability for NAS Backups: Stop ransomware from modifying or deleting your data once stored locally or in the cloud.
  • Enhanced Data Resilience: With copies stored onsite and offsite, businesses can meet regulatory compliance and maintain high availability.

Source-Side Encryption

Adding a new layer of data security, NAKIVO Backup & Replication v11 introduces source-side encryption to protect sensitive information at the point of origin. Customers can now encrypt data before it leaves the original system, reducing risks associated with data transmission and cyber threats.

This feature integrates seamlessly with AWS Key Management Service (KMS) for streamlined encryption key management and enhanced data security for virtualized environments.

Backup from NetApp Storage Snapshots

NAKIVO Backup & Replication v11 enhances protection for virtualized environments by expanding support for storage snapshots, now including NetApp FAS and AFF arrays. Businesses can back up their VMware VMs from these storage snapshots, minimizing the impact on production workloads and improving backup efficiency.

Federated Repository for Scalable Storage

The new Federated Repository feature enables businesses to create a scalable storage pool from multiple repositories. This system automatically redirects backups if a repository reaches capacity or is unavailable, ensuring uninterrupted protection and easy scalability as data needs grow.

Tenant Overview Dashboard for MSPs

For Managed Service Providers (MSPs), version 11 of the NAKIVO backup solution for MSPs introduces the Tenant Overview Dashboard that simplifies tenant management. MSPs can view resource usage, performance metrics, and job statuses in a single interface, allowing proactive monitoring and optimized resource allocation.

Real-Time ReplicationBETA Support for vSphere 8 

NAKIVO Backup & Replication v11 extends the Real-Time ReplicationBETA feature to cover VMware vSphere 8.0. This enables businesses to maintain up-to-date replicas of critical VMs, enhancing disaster recovery readiness and safety for virtual environments.

Immutability on NEC HYDRAstor

To protect against ransomware attacks, v11 allows customers to enable immutability for backups stored on NEC HYDRAstor systems, ensuring data remains secure and recoverable even in case of a cyberattack.

Expanding Global Reach with Spanish Language Support

In support of its growing international customer base, NAKIVO Backup & Replication v11 offers full Spanish language support, making it easier for Spanish-speaking users to navigate and manage data protection.

Advancing Data Protection and Global Reach

“With v11, we’re introducing features that align with today’s demands for flexible data protection, increased security, and multilingual support,” said Bruce Talley, CEO of NAKIVO. “Our goal with this release is to provide a comprehensive solution that supports data resilience for businesses worldwide.”
