V.3.4 of our Virtual Appliance (VA)
We’ve released a new version of our VA. It’s a major step forward with a new user interface and many updates to the features and functionality.
The VA is a virtual appliance that we’ve developed to manage all our products. It enables centralised management for all the types of machine replication, migration and disaster recovery software that we offer.
The VA helps our customers to scale our products into large implementations. You can deploy software from a central location easily and quickly – making the process simpler and saving time.
Here’s what it means for you.
