November 5, 2013PLEASANTON, Calif.—November 5, 2013—Retrospect is celebrating its 25-year relationship with channel resellers. Retrospect Backup & Recovery Software was first released to the North American Macintosh community in 1988. Its market has since grown to Mac, Windows and Linux communities in over 80 countries worldwide.
“We are extremely proud that so many resellers around the globe see the value of Retrospect for their customers. Our goal is to continue providing our partners world class support through our partner program that maximizes their business opportunities in the SMB market,” said Matt Johnson, Vice President of Worldwide Sales.
Retrospect today announced their new Minisite Assistant—an easily-implementable and zero-maintenance sales tool designed to increase end-user product awareness and generate leads for reseller partners.
The Minisite Program provides a unique way to create tailored Retrospect web pages that provide specific product details, competitive information, downloadable trials, and marketing collateral in a matter of minutes. The simple yet robust “Minisite Assistant” walks the partner through a brief series of questions, and then generates tailored HTML code. Content is loaded directly from the Retrospect.com website, guaranteeing that reseller minisites will remain current at all times.
“We're very excited about offering this tool to our partners, as they frequently face resource challenges in keeping third-party content current on their websites,” said Matt Johnson. “Our goal is help them capitalize on opportunities in the SMB market with this easy-to-use, all inclusive sales tool.”
Retrospect's latest update to its Windows and Mac products includes full support for the recent release of Microsoft® Windows 8.1 and Apple® OS X Mavericks, as well as significant improvements for both platforms.
Retrospect 8.5 for Windows adds full support for Microsoft® Exchange 2013, providing hot backups of Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 databases and mailboxes and automatically restoring an Exchange Server or individual components to a specific point in time. This Windows update also includes VMware® agent-less restore. This enables administrators to recover their data faster and easier on Windows virtual machines hosted on VMware, without the need for an agent. This update also delivers a number of other improvements, including support for Microsoft Windows Server 2012 with Data Deduplication.
Retrospect 10.5 for Mac adds significant performance improvements. Backing up and restoring data is 20% to 100% faster, depending on the environment.
“Our latest release is the third significant update of the year on both Mac and Windows, and we're thrilled to deliver so much value to our customers. These improvements allow businesses to protect more data while saving time and resources,” says David Lee, Director of Product Management.
Retrospect 8.5 and 10.5 are free for customers that have Retrospect 8.x for Windows and Retrospect 10.x for Mac. Both updates are available immediately.
