This scalable approach reduces administrative overhead while preserving centralized control over backup policies and retention settings. It enables efficient license management across departments or campuses and supports role-based access so administrators can delegate tasks without compromising security.
- Electronic delivery and government pricing: This product is delivered electronically for rapid deployment. The included government pricing aligns with how government organizations procure software licenses and cloud services, offering predictable budgeting and streamlined purchasing. You can deploy in minutes, assign VMs to protected copies, and enforce governance policies that suit compliance requirements, including data retention, auditability, and aligned procurement workflows. The electronic delivery model accelerates onboarding for new semesters, new projects, or mission-critical upgrades without delays caused by physical media shipments.
