QuorumSoft, a Vermont-based corporation that deals in bringing datacenter technology to businesses of all sizes, unveiled the new Alike DR, a flexible and affordable disaster recovery and deduplication solution for XenServer environments that can backup mission-critical data to a secondary system.


Citrix XenServer is a complete, managed server virtualization platform built on the Xen hypervisor. XenServer is designed for efficient management of Windows and Linux virtual servers and delivers cost-effective server consolidation and business continuity.

“Alike DR is an ideal solution for any organization in healthcare, finance, law, government and other industries that is looking to maintain business continuity at times of natural disasters or unforeseen circumstances that disrupt operations,” said Max Ekstrom, founder, Quorum Software, Inc., in a release.

QuorumSoft has been shipping the Alike product as free and standard. The newly unveiled Alike DR is an addition to QuorumSoft's flagship product, Alike Standard, and it provides a set of features and options to address the protection needs of XenServer infrastructures of all sizes. Alike DR can vault multiple point-in-time backups offsite and replicate entire virtual machines (VMs) to a secondary XenServer pool.

Some of the additional features and benefits packed into the Alike DR are: Deep Offsite Backup History – users can utilize ‘Offsite Vaulting’ to extend backups to on offsite store, retaining many point-in-time backups offsite; Deduplicated Offsite Vault – only deduplicated data is vaulted offsite, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth; Offsite Recovery Console – the standalone recovery module can track offsite activity and is ready in an emergency; Enhanced Replicate – for compressing VMs and copies directly from XenServer to Xenserver, via the Alike Backup Delegate; and Cold or Warm Standby – a secondary XenServer can be setup easily using the Enhanced Replicate.

The company claimed that priced at less than $1,200 per XenServer host, Alike DR delivers more capabilities than competing solutions that cost twice as much or more. Any company with a XenServer environment can use QuorumSoft's powerful data deduplication technology to implement a comprehensive disaster recovery solution at a fraction of the cost of alternatives.
