At VMWorld 2013, EMC announced its most popular product RecoverPoint for the hypervisor.

As most of you know EMC RecoverPoint – one of the most robust data protection options was up until VMWorld available only as an appliance. At VMWorld, Chad Sakac (EMC SVP) and Yossi Saad (Director – RecoverPoint Product Management) announced that a beta version of the RecoverPoint for Hypervisor software is available. In near future, the software will be GA so many VMware customers can take advantage of it.

I had the opportunity to talk to Yossi Saad who spoke with me about the benefits of Software Defined Data Protection which was aptly announced at the Software Defined Datacenter event (VMWorld 2013). Yossi spoke about the product, offered some details, and clarified the Integration capabilities of the software.

Many thanks to Yossi for talking to me about the product’s vision and newer capabilities. Video is below:
