NAKIVO Backup & Replication v11.1 introduces significant advancements in disaster resilience, multilingual accessibility, and managed service provider (MSP) functionality, solidifying its position as a powerful solution for backup and disaster recovery across diverse IT environments.
Key Features and Enhancements
NAKIVO v11.1 debuts a fully localized interface now supporting seven languages—English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Polish, and Chinese—greatly broadening its global accessibility. The multilingual experience extends to system alerts, dashboards, and recovery workflows, facilitating easier training, streamlined administration, and increased adoption in multinational organizations.
This release further expands capabilities for Proxmox VE, bringing Flash VM Boot for instant recovery, VM Replication for high availability, VM Template backup for rapid standardized deployments, and automated backup verification with detailed visual reports. NAKIVO v11.1 enables direct tape device recovery and includes log truncation for Microsoft Exchange and SQL servers to optimize storage efficiency.
Disaster Resilience and Real-Time Replication
Version 11.1 emphasizes disaster recovery by lowering downtime and data loss to near zero through advanced features such as Real-Time Replication for VMware workloads. This keeps VM replicas in sync with production environments and automates failover to ensure uninterrupted availability. Integration with broader site recovery workflows further streamlines business continuity processes.
Granular backup flexibility allows organizations to select specific folders or data sets for backup and recovery, minimizing disruption and enabling fast restoration of vital information where needed.
MSP Management and Secure Connectivity
The new MSP Direct Connect eliminates the need for open ports at client sites, simplifying network configurations and deployment for service providers. This not only enhances onboarding but also ensures secure, encrypted communication between MSP directors and client transporters. The feature now supports Hyper-V and Proxmox VE in addition to VMware and Windows/Linux environments.
