Asigra Inc., a leading Cloud backup and recovery software
provider, today announced certification with Microsoft Windows
Server 2008 Hyper-V. Asigra simplifies and automates backup and
recovery for Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V customers, providing the
benefits of highly efficient data protection without the need to
install I/O, memory and management-intensive backup software on
virtual machines targeted for protection.
As a certified Microsoft Virtualization solution partner, Asigra
ensures customers who are upgrading or migrating to Windows Server
2008 Hyper-V will continue to enjoy the benefits virtualization
brings without the performance, cost and management impact of
traditional agent-based backup software solutions. The
industry-recognized Asigra Cloud backup and recovery platform
resolves major issues such as performance loss by installing only
one client to backup the entire site, thus protecting both the
physical and virtual environment without deploying any agents.

cross-platform interoperability and security challenges prevalent
in many alternative solutions.

alternative products because of greater value, familiar tools and
broad ISV ecosystem that allows customers to make the best use of
their server hardware investments," said Eric Jewett, group
manager, Windows Server division at Microsoft Corp. "Asigra's
backup and recovery solution is a great fit for virtualized
environments that require agentless data protection."

company's backup and recovery platform will work smoothly and
effectively in the Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V environment. For
