StorCentric’s Retrospect Launches Retrospect Backup 17 and Retrospect Virtual 2020

by Jon Seals | March 3, 2020 | | 0 comments

With seamless integration with Retrospect Management Console, Retrospect’s data protection suite streamlines onboarding and increases protection with ProactiveAI

Retrospect, a leader in data protection for businesses and a StorCentric company, today announced the general availability release of Retrospect Backup 17 and Retrospect Virtual 2020, as well as updates to its Retrospect Management Console. Retrospect’s suite of products now provide hosted management service for automatic onboarding of physical and virtual backup instances, enabling fast deployment and increased protection leveraging ProactiveAI across an entire organization.

IT administrators depend on streamlined workflows to deploy services and support within their organization. With automatic onboarding, administrators can share a single URL with their entire company, and each employee can download the client for their platform, pre-packaged with a public key for authentication. There are no user passwords, and Retrospect Backup 17 will automatically add the new clients and start protecting them using ProactiveAI.

With Retrospect Virtual 2020, businesses can monitor their physical and virtual backup infrastructure from a single pane of glass via the Retrospect Management Console. Retrospect Virtual 2020 is now integrated with the hosted service to enable one place to monitor every protected machine–Windows, Mac, Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V.­

“There are a multitude of avenues that lead to data loss for businesses, including ransomware, accidents, and disasters,” said Mihir Shah, CEO of StorCentric, parent company of Retrospect. “Retrospect enables any business to backup their entire infrastructure and restore a file or a system to a single point in time–days, months, or years in the past. The ubiquity of ransomware means businesses need a data protection strategy, with on-site backups for fast restore and an off-site location. Retrospect makes it a click away.”

  • 10x Faster ProactiveAI – ProactiveAI has been optimized to handle many more sources with different storage profiles. Customers with endpoints that are offline at various times will see a 10x performance increase in how fast Retrospect Backup 17 finds the next available computer.
  • Restore Preflight – Large-scale data protection—relying on highly-optimizes storage configurations like hundreds of tapes or Amazon Glacier— strategies require preflight capabilities to ensure a fast operation, and Retrospect Backup 17 allows customers to export a preflight summary including backup files and tape information.
