We’re excited to introduce the official XLServer Blog! 🎉

Here you’ll find:

• Tips & tricks for managing databases efficiently
• Release announcements and product updates
• Best practices for data protection, cloning, and recovery

Stay tuned — we’ll regularly share new content to help you get the best out of XLServer.

Deploying new features quickly often depends on how fast you can provide developers and testers with realistic data.

XLServer enables:

• Virtual clones in seconds
• Physical clones for production-like scenarios
• Built-in data masking for compliance

With one click, teams can create, reset, and share clones — helping you deliver software faster and with more confidence.

Database protection is one of the biggest challenges for IT teams.

With XLServer, protecting a live database is as simple as attaching a backup strategy. Snapshots are taken automatically, ensuring:

• Continuous protection
• Minimal storage footprint
• Fast recovery in case of disaster

💡 Tip: Use a combination of daily snapshots and log backups to minimize data loss (RPO) and speed up recovery (RTO).

Running large database environments is expensive.

With XLServer, you can significantly cut costs by:

• Reducing storage via deduplication & snapshots
• Minimizing software & hardware license costs
• Automating DBA operations with one-click provisioning

👉 The result: lower TCO, without compromising reliability.

We’re happy to announce XLServer v2.0 🚀

Highlights:

• New MySQL and MariaDB support for cloning & recovery
• Enhanced monitoring dashboards
• Faster incremental backup engine
• Security improvements with new SSL certificate management
