PROS & CONS
What are the best aspects of this product?
After several attempts with competitors we found a reliable non-Windows based solution for Hyper-V hosted Servers. It’s running nearly out of the box, easy to configure and shows up to be a reliable part of our security solution. Backups are space efficient and fast. A Restore of VMs, vHDDs or even files from inside a VM runs in a transparent and easy way.
