Auckland-based disaster recovery and backup provider Plan-b was a big winner at the fourth VMware virtualisation forum held in Sydney this week.

Plan-b won the business continuity award for excellence in promoting business continuity through the use of VMware technology.

Plan-b technical director Symon Thurlow told NBR at the conference in Sydney yesterday he was delighted with the award. Mr Thurlow said Plan-b used VMware’s technology as a foundation platform on which it had built its own application.
