With disaster planning and recovery rapidly emerging as a new application of server virtualization, PlateSpin and alliance partners Microsoft and Dell have teamed to offer organizations an alternative to traditional tape backup, image capture and clustering, which fall short in delivering the necessary combination of recovery speed, integrity and cost-effectiveness.

The PlateSpin P2V Disaster Recovery solution in combination with Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 on Dell hardware can help organizations achieve superior recovery speed and reliability for disaster recovery and backup at an affordable price. The solution created by using these products makes it possible to create a disaster planning and recovery solution that provides rapid restore times, and enterprise-caliber data synchronization without enterprise-caliber costs.

Organizations are now able to leverage virtualization technology to protect more servers in their network, ensuring a higher degree of operational readiness.
