Veeam Software, a data resilience specialist, announced the enhancement of its disaster recovery capabilities for Microsoft Hyper-V environments through the introduction of orchestration features. The company said the aim is to streamline and automate disaster recovery processes, ensuring minimal downtime and data loss for businesses utilizing Hyper-V virtualization.

Those orchestration features come with the newly released Veeam Recovery Orchestrator 7.2, announced Feb. 18.

"Veeam Recovery Orchestrator simplifies and automates the disaster recovery planning, testing, and execution process," the company said in a news release. "It allows organizations to create, manage, and test disaster recovery plans in a streamlined manner, ensuring quick and effective recovery of their data when an outage or disaster strikes. Building on Veeam Data Platform's industry-leading cyber resilience -- malware scanning, IoC detection, and proactive threat scanning -- enhanced Hyper-V orchestration delivers faster recovery, stronger defenses, and maximum uptime."

Key highlights as presented by the company include:

• Seamless Data Portability: Facilitates automated movement of data across different platforms; Eliminates vendor lock-in, allowing users to switch between environments without constraints.
• Freedom to Migrate: Users can migrate to new hypervisors or the cloud without needing to adopt a new backup vendor; Reduces complexities and accelerates the migration process.
• Automation and Orchestration Plans: Provides structured and automated migration processes that are both documented and tested for governance purposes; Saves time and reduces costs for organizations undergoing migration.
• Real Value for VMware and Hyper-V Customers: Helps ensures a smooth transition of data with minimal disruption without the need to learn new backup solutions or deal with educational barriers when changing hypervisors.

Veeam Recovery Orchestrator 7.2 is included with the company's Veeam Data Platform Premium Edition.
