HiveIO Introduces Hive Fabric 8.0 with Added Business Intelligence Capabilities and New Cloud Storage Offerings
New capabilities in Hive Fabric 8.0 include added data protection, seamless backup to the cloud, deep application insights, an updated user interface, and a more sophisticated Hive Sense platform.
Hoboken, NJ, January 23, 2020 – HiveIO today announced version 8.0 of Hive Fabric™, an intelligent virtualization solution. It provides high-performing, scalable technology. This removes complexity in the data center and delivers a seamless IT experience. The new version provides robust protection for virtual machines (VMs) and user data. This is achieved through its Disaster Recovery (DR) capability. It seamlessly integrates with cloud storage. Hive Fabric 8.0 also incorporates advanced Business Intelligence (BI) tools into Hive Sense. This capability proactively notifies HiveIO of an issue within a customer environment. It provides valuable insight into applications and resource utilization. These are key Hive Fabric 8.0 features.
“With 8.0, we deliver a powerful disaster recovery solution,” said Toby Coleridge, VP of Product at HiveIO. “It’s capable of replicating VMs and user data to cloud-based storage, such as Amazon S3. This provides even more flexibility to our customers.” He added, “Other enhancements seen in 8.0 were a direct result of user feedback. More and more of our customers are requesting business insights and automation. With 8.0, we can meet that market need.”
Key Hive Fabric 8.0 Features and Enhancements
The new features of Hive Fabric 8.0 deliver significant advancements:
Comprehensive Data Protection
In the event of a disaster, Hive Fabric 8.0 provides customers with robust data protection. They gain the ability to back up their storage locally or to a cloud provider platform. This includes Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure. Integrating with cloud-based storage offers organizations a new level of agility. It also saves time on data protection. This enhanced data protection is a cornerstone of Hive Fabric 8.0 features.
Hive Sense – Advanced Business Insight
Through increased visibility into the customer’s IT infrastructure, administrators can now analyze their application environment. They can identify license inefficiencies (IT Asset Management reporting). This is achieved by monitoring how various applications are being used, without additional third-party products. For example, a customer can track how many licenses are actually being used for a specific application. This leads to potential savings in overall licensing costs. Hive Sense offers vital application insights.
Intuitive User Interface (UI) Updates
HiveIO analyzed how current users operated their Hive Fabric user interface (UI). This led to the launch of an updated version in 8.0. To further improve the end-user admin experience, operations have been increasingly simplified. Real-time information and virtual desktop insights are now shown through the administrator’s dashboard. This update in visibility allows customers to spend more time on work that matters to them and their audiences: tending to patients, educating students, and developing new solutions for their business. These UI improvements are significant Hive Fabric 8.0 features.
Hive Fabric 8.0: AI-Ready Virtualization and Real-World Impact
Hive Fabric 8.0 continues to build upon its artificial intelligence-ready solution. It enables organizations to deploy virtualization technology without unnecessary vendor complexity. It also eliminates the need for costly specialists.
“Moving our virtual server and desktop environment from VMware to Hive Fabric dramatically simplifies administration for our IT team,” said Dave Gartside, IT Director at Solihull College & University Centre. “The single web-based interface allows us to gain insight into how our users work and what applications they are running.” He continued, “We are especially excited to see the integration with cloud storage. This provides us with more agility and a cost-effective solution for Disaster Recovery.”
