With over 30,000 small and mid-market businesses trusting Altaro and a growing worldwide partner network, 6000 in number, the firm has emerged as a fast- growing developer of backup solutions for Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware virtual environments.

In today’s golden age of virtualization, Altaro’s flagship product-Altaro VM Backup has won recognition for being the perfect backup solution for Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware. The IT industry giant, Microsoft, has itself chosen Altaro VM Backup as one of the solutions to protect their virtual machines (VM), proving the solutions worthiness in a dynamic and demanding environment. The product is easy-to-use, affordably priced, feature-rich, and comes with an outstanding support team. Vella asserts, “Customers love Altaro VM Backup for its agility, simplicity, and for making the life of system administrators less painful.” The affordable pricing is due to the company’s adoption of a different pricing model i.e. charging per host rather than competitors’ model of charging per socket. Version 7 of Altaro VM Backup, introduced the best Augmented Inline Deduplication in the industry, along with Boot from Backup enabling minimal downtime, enhanced security, scalability, and integrity testing features.

The Augmented Inline Deduplication delivers faster backup and data recovery for local and remote locations by transferring new data exclusively to the backup storage vault. For Altaro’s customers, this means much lower storage requirements and significantly less data to be transferred, resulting in dramatic savings in bandwidth and storage savings of 63 to 96 percent.
