April Fool’s Day isn’t just for kids. Companies love playing jokes on their customers for a laugh or two. It brings welcome relief from the usual press releases, product announcements and is just pure fun. However, not all pranks and shenanigans are light-hearted or in good humour especially when customers get fooled into buying backup solutions.
Consider the case of an IT admin. He/she might:
- Have VMware servers as his/her primary model but opt for separate physical machine for exchange servers.
- Opt for a Hyper-V environment for his/her needs.
- Rely completely on physical machines for server maintenance.
- Maintain a mixed model with VMware, Hyper-V servers as well as dedicated servers for Exchange and MySQL.
When the IT admin looks for a backup solution, the options available are:
- A solution to backup his/her VMware environment.
- A solution to backup the Hyper-V servers.
- A dedicated solution for Exchange server backup.
- A solution for SQL backup.
In reality, an IT admin never has one solution for his/her entire backup requirements.
The play doesn’t just end here but continues with cost valuations. A customer will not only pay for using a backup solution but also the size consumed or total number of machines backed up. Either way, the consumer never gets value for money with an all-in-one problem solver.
Vembu is about to put a stop to this game with its new release – a simple, intuitive, user-friendly, truly all-in-one backup solution – Vembu BDR v3.0. It is slated to be released by the 3rd week of April and if luck prevails, some lucky users may get their hands on it sooner. Stay tuned continuing updates on this exciting release.
