Along with the announcement of DPM 2010, Microsoft also announced the release of System Center DPM 2010, and this couldn’t come soon enough for us Hyper-V R2 advocates!
System Center Data Protection (DPM) 2010, delivers unified data protection for Windows servers such as SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, Virtualisation and file servers -- as well as Windows desktops and laptops. Microsoft has re-engineered DPM 2010 to be more scalable so that both midsize and enterprise-class organisations can take advantage of it.
Key additions in DPM 2010 include:
- The ability for roaming laptops to get centrally managed policies around desktop protection, so that your laptop data is protected, whether you are connected to the corporate network or remote
- Enhanced virtualisation protection, including Hyper-V R2 LiveMigration scenarios running on clustered shared volumes and the ability to recover single-files from within host-based backups
- Additional protection and recovery capabilities for Windows application servers like SQL Server, Exchange or SharePoint
- Native site-to-site replication for disaster recovery to either another DPM server or an off-site cloud provider
- Significant enterprise-scalability increases for deploying DPM in large environments
- Centrally managed System State and Bare Metal Recovery
