In addition to disk or cloud, vmPRO 3.1 now leverages Scalar LTFS tape technology to provide user-accessible, searchable archive capabilities for VMware data.

The new software also simplifies management while improving performance and workload efficiency for backing up virtual machines in their native VMware (VMDK) format, says a release.

Quantum vmPRO 3.1 enables companies to access and recover backup and archive VM data from disk, tape or cloud across its lifecycle. It improves performance as it comes with HotAdd support from VMware, as well as the ability to perform multiple back-up jobs simultaneously.

Robert Clark, senior vice president, Data Protection Group, Quantum, said: "Back-up and archive continue to converge, and vmPRO 3.1 is on the front line of that trend. Companies increasingly treat their data as an asset, and by bringing open standards archive capabilities to virtual machines, vmPRO is enabling customers to enjoy the economic benefits of both virtualization and tape for long-term retention."
