As the amount of file data increases exponentially, it becomes vital for business operations to implement effective storage management solutions. However, as more and more organizations use virtualization technologies to improve the efficiency and availability of storage resources, transparent and cost-effective management of storage infrastructure and file data becomes increasingly difficult to achieve.

With an integrated solution using NTP Software and AutoVirt technologies, customers are now able to control and manage their unstructured data seamlessly in a virtualized environment. Migration and data movement happen behind the scenes, with no need to adjust policies or worry about lapses in protection.

“We’re delighted to be working with AutoVirt to extend our solutions into their namespace,” said Bruce Backa, CEO of NTP Software. “Together we can provide customers with a unified, manageable view of their unstructured data that transparently enables infrastructure maintenance tasks such as platform upgrades and data movement.”
