The UK Holiday Group has chosen Plan B Disaster Recovery to provide a fully managed, virtualisation-based business continuity and disaster recovery service. In the event of an incident, staff at The UK Holiday Group will be able to access an exact replica of their systems within minutes. The service is based on a Plan B DR appliance installed on The UK Holiday Group's network and snapshots systems and data to the service provider's data centre where it's kept on virtualised servers. The setup replaces one in which The UK Holiday Group kept tapes containing rescue data, but not copies of its systems and apps. System images are automatically tested by Plan B DR to guarantee that they will boot up without trouble. "It is essential to have a disaster recovery service that enables us to maintain business as usual even if we experience a major IT outage," said Paul Bennett, managing director at The UK Holiday Group. 3PAR adds automatic tiering 3PAR has announced 3PAR Policy Advisor for Dynamic Optimisation, which adds autonomic policy management and automation capabilities to 3PAR Dynamic Optimisation for 3PAR InServ Utility Storage Servers. Policy Advisor works by analysing how InServ's virtual volumes use physical disk space. The software then automatically makes nondisruptive adjustments to ensure optimal volume distribution and tiered storage across storage server resources. Atempo supports Snow Leopard Data protection vendor Atempo has announced support for Mac OS X Snow Leopard across Atempo's entire product suite. Customers using Snow Leopard can now back up with Atempo Time Navigator and Atempo Live Backup, archive data with Atempo Digital Archive and access archived emails with the Atempo Digital Archive for Messaging Entourage plug-in. NetApp and Microsoft team up NetApp and Microsoft have announced a new three-year agreement that extends product collaboration and technical integration, as well as joint sales and marketing activities. Under the new agreement, the two companies will collaborate and deliver technology solutions that span virtualisation, private cloud computing, and storage and data management. The two firms will also expand collaboration in virtualised infrastructure solutions based on Windows Server 2008, Hyper-V and NetApp storage systems; storage and data management solutions for Microsoft Exchange Server, Office SharePoint Server and SQL Server; and cloud computing and hosted services solutions.

Virtual Instruments' service offering Storage-area network (SAN) monitoring tool vendor Virtual Instruments has announced the SOS-4-SANs service, which is aimed at enterprises experiencing Fibre Channel SAN availability or performance issues.
