A Note from the CEO's Desk
|
|
|
As the world (and every one of us) deals with the pandemic of the novel Coronavirus, we wanted to wish you, your company, and your family good health. We also want you to know that we are here for you if you need any support. We have prepared an action plan in response to this situation, which you can read on our blog. As your business needs change during the coming months, including everyone working from home, we are here to help you with your backup and disaster recover needs, and to help you with your business in any way we can.
With that said, business does not stop. It’s been an exciting and action packed first quarter at the helm of this great company, and with the support of our reinvigorated leadership team, we’ve been busy finalizing our plans for 2020 and beyond. In case you missed it, here is a link to our Leadership and Company Announcement Press Release from early January, which was met with excitement from industry press and partners alike.
Q2 moves into high action mode for us as we begin delivering on our plan of commitment to you, our customers, continuing to build the best data protection technology on the market, and investing in and developing the people on our team here at Infrascale. Next quarter you’ll see initiatives such as the launch of IDR v8.0, which will release our built-from-the-ground-up bare metal backup engine as the new standard for all bare metal backups – further improving the speed and reliability for bare metal backups. You’ll also see the relaunch of our dedicated Customer Success initiatives including dedicated Account Managers and dedicated Channel Marketing support, as well as a dedicated Director of Product Marketing added to our team.
We’re moving at a rapid pace and are excited at the progress we’re making. Our focus is on delivering what it takes to make you successful, which will in turn ensure our success. As a result, I'm always very interested in hearing how we’re doing so feel free to drop me a note any time with comments, concerns, compliments and feedback.
Together with you – Onward and Upward!
Russell P. Reeder, CEO

Infrascale Disaster Recovery v7.1
|
|
|
In case you missed our email last week, we’ve recently released IDR v7.1! In this latest product update, some of our new feature enhancements include: - Additional boot verification details, including a new feature where screenshots of boot information are now available at-a-glance in your dashboard Monitoring tab - A new bare-metal backup engine, built from the ground up by the Infrascale R&D team - Replication to the cloud now has improved performance and reliability functionality
The new bare-metal backup engine replaces the current 3rd party engine and in the next release of IDR v8.0 it will be the new standard for all bare-metal backups, as this brings improved speed and reliability for bare-metal backups. Also coming in IDR v8.0, appliances shipped will align with Microsoft supported Operating Systems and no longer support Windows XP Vista or 2003 on new installations for bare-metal backups (and can still run file level backups). These changes will reflect the alignment with Microsoft-supported OS’s.

Security Notice: As always, your data security is of utmost importance to us. Infrascale Disaster Recovery (IDR) v7.1 has important security fixes for vulnerabilities that were identified in earlier versions. These updates help improve the security of your data. Please ensure that you upgrade to IDR v7.1 as soon as possible to take advantage of these fixes. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our Customer Support team at support@infrascale.com.

How Strong is Your Password?
|
|
|
Your Infrascale Dashboard allows you access to business-critical data – and a lot of it. You don’t want that data to fall into the wrong hands, so keeping your account safe is one of our top priorities. If you haven’t changed your password in a while, or if you don’t make use of strong passwords, it may be time to revisit your Dashboard login info. We suggest regularly updating your password to reduce your risk of exposure.
