In 2011, you will see EMC begin to use a new release process for new versions of NetWorker
software.
Software will be released under Restricted Availability. Restricted Availability (RA)
releases are fully-tested and production-ready, however, software and documentation are
made available through an alternate process that lets EMC track adoption to ensure the early
roll out meets customer expectations. After initial monitoring of progress and success in the
marketplace, the software and documentation will be deemed Generally Available (GA) and
moved in total to EMC Powerlink.

feature enhancements. The enhancements in this release include the following:
• Windows Server 2008 R2 OS support for Exchange, SharePoint, SQL and Hyper-V.
