Kaseya Simplifies Remote IT Automation with Seamless Endpoint Security, Instant Virtualisation and R
Thursday, 04 December 2008
Kaseya, the global leader in information technology (IT) automation software for IT solution providers and public and private sector IT organisations, announced today the release of two new versions of its popular Kaseya Endpoint Security (KES) and Backup and Disaster Recovery (BU-DR) modules. The new releases offer significant automation capabilities for fast deployment and efficient utilisation of IT resources.
The endpoint security module provides unparalleled integration for unified deployment and management of anti-virus, anti-spyware and rootkit protection for Microsoft OS-based servers, workstations and mobile computers. KES is integrated at both the user interface and database levels with Kaseya’s complete suite of IT automation software, providing for seamless operation and eliminating unnecessary complexity. This allows users to automate IT management and have full visibility of all deployment, configuration, status and operations of endpoint security, all within Kaseya’s unified and consistent Web-based console.
The new backup and disaster recovery functionality now includes Incremental Forever and Synthetic Full Backups for efficient offsite replication and user-defined archival capabilities. In addition, new features for Instant Virtualization allow any backup to be converted to a VMware, ESX or Virtual PC virtual disk remotely and automatically within minutes. This is an enormous time-saver that significantly eases the restoration process. With just a few clicks, customers can instantly have a key system up and running in a virtual environment. This makes it possible to recover files and folders in real time to an existing machine, to a “bare metal” machine, or to a virtual machine.
“A major factor in choosing Kaseya was the KES option. We needed a single integrated AVAS solution that could be centrally managed. Having deployed KES to remote sites, we have seen tremendous improvements in the level of systems security we can now offer. In addition, the excellent support from Kaseya is atypical of this industry and just further confirms that we made the right choice in choosing Kaseya as our IT Automation solution,” said Mike Reed, owner of US IT solutions provider, CompuSolve.
“The core promise of IT automation is speed and cost savings,” said Tim Dickinson, Regional Director, Kaseya Australia and New Zealand. “With advances like Incremental Forever and Synthetic Full Backups, as well as the breakthrough Instant Virtualisation capability, the new versions of KES and BU-DR demonstrate our focus on keeping that core promise. We’re pushing the boundary for how IT automation can improve efficiency.”
Kaseya Endpoint Security 2.0 and Backup and Disaster Recovery 3.0 are available immediately.
