NAKIVO Amplifies Ransomware Resilience with Backup & Replication v11.2, Now Available Globally

The new release combines immutable, air-gapped protection with support for VMware vSphere 9 and Proxmox VE 9.1, addressing the growing intensity of cyber threats.

Sparks, Nevada, March 16, 2026 - As ransomware attacks become more frequent and more costly, NAKIVO Inc. announced the general availability of Backup & Replication v11.2. This release is engineered with one foundational question in mind: When an attack occurs, how fast can an organization recover?

Recovery Is the New Resilience

Version 11.2 combines immutable backups, air-gapped storage support, and automated failover into a layered recovery architecture designed for organizations that can no longer treat downtime as an acceptable cost of doing business. For sectors like healthcare, financial services, government, and life sciences, where data integrity is a regulatory mandate, this is not optional, it's a necessity.

Automated real-time replication, new in v11.2, closes the gap between backup window and recovery point, significantly reducing how much data an organization stands to lose if systems are compromised. Organizations running VMware workloads in particular benefit from NAKIVO VMware replication. This capability now extends to vSphere 9, ensuring that even the most recent virtualization environments are completely covered. Paired with OAuth 2.0 authentication for email notifications, the release also addresses the quieter risk of insecure backup communication, a vector that is easily overlooked.

Modern Infrastructure, Fully Covered

The new version extends full compatibility to VMware vSphere 9 and Proxmox VE 9.0 and 9.1, ensuring that organizations with a modern virtualization stack do not have to choose between staying up to date and staying protected.

For teams already relying on NAKIVO VMware backup to protect their virtual environments, v11.2 delivers powerful improvements in recovery speed, platform coverage, and administrative simplicity. Enhanced MSP Direct Connect in NAKIVO MSP backup solution gives managed service providers a cleaner path to overseeing multiple client environments from a single interface, reducing the operational friction that tends to accumulate with a growing client base.

"Our focus is on delivering solutions that are both secure and easy to manage," said Bruce Talley, CEO of NAKIVO. "v11.2 gives organizations of all sizes a reliable path forward as IT environments evolve and the threat landscape grows more demanding."

What Customers See in Production

The recovery speed that v11.2 is built around is already a reality for current users. Matt Mitchell, Web Developer at the University of Colorado Denver's School of Education and Human Development, puts it plainly: "With previous tools, full VM recovery simply wasn't possible. With NAKIVO, VMware VMs can be restored within ten minutes, and data deduplication cuts storage footprint by 80%."

That combination of fast recovery and lower storage overhead reflects the practical value NAKIVO has consistently prioritized over headline features.

A Platform That Scales With the Threat

NAKIVO Backup & Replication v11.2 protects workloads across virtual, physical, cloud, and SaaS environments from a single management interface - covering VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, AWS, and Microsoft 365. For IT teams managing hybrid infrastructure, that unified visibility is the difference between a manageable incident and an extended outage.
