FastSCP Reaches 30,000 Downloads, Becomes the Most Widely Used Tool Among VMware ESX Administrators
CLEVELAND, OHIO, April 9, 2008 Veeam Software, award-winning provider of systems management tools for VMware ESX Server environments, today announced that its popular FastSCP file management freeware for VMware environments has been downloaded more than 30,000 times. To mark the milestone, Veeam also introduced a new version of the free software with the enhancements most requested by customers.
"FastSCP is great software and has really helped us out," said Tim Bell, network administrator, Environmental Science Corp., Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. I\'m glad to hear that Veeam has a new version with even more enhancements. My only comment to them is: "keep up the good work!"
Veeam FastSCP is a fast, secure and easy-to-use tool for file management in VMware ESX environments that completes file transfers up to six times faster than alternative solutions. FastSCP allows a user to copy files from ESX to Windows, Windows to ESX or ESX to ESX.
I\'ve been using Veeam FastSCP for a while now, said Wayne Bollingmoore, senior systems administrator, Griffith University, Queensland, Australia. It\'s a good product that saves me a lot of time and effort.
Veeam FastSCP is widely used by ESX administrators for everyday management activity including:
"FastSCP was our first offering for the VMware environment, and we are extremely pleased with the great reception it has received," said Ratmir Timashev, Veeam Software president and CEO. We\'ve been told by many people that FastSCP is the de facto standard for file management in VMware environments. We hope that those who find value in FastSCP will also take a look at our commercial products. FastSCP users should be especially interested in our new Veeam Backup the 2-in-1 solution that combines backup and replication in a single product. Veeam Backup and FastSCP share the same interface, providing even more functionality from a single screen.
FastSCP is fast because it uses full network capacity, delivering significant time savings when transferring large files. In addition, the tool does not require installing any additional services (daemons) on ESX. It uses SSH as a control channel to generate a one-time username and password for each file transfer session. Veeam FastSCP doesn\'t require any ESX reconfiguration, and offers an intuitive Windows-like interface for file management.
The newly enhanced version offers additional capabilities including:
