Today at VMWorld, we announced new capabilities that enable better backups for VMware environments-that consume as much as 95 percent less disk space by leveraging our disk backup with data deduplication.
As most people adopting VMware server virtualization are aware, as you deploy a greater number of servers, you also need to increase the amount of storage needed to support those additional servers and back them up. You can see an example of what that looks like in the diagram below (left image). With data deduplication, as you can see (right image), you can reduce the amount of storage required to store these backups by a factor of 20:1 or more.
Thus, we're excited about this new support for the latest version of vRanger Pro. Vizioncore is recognized as the industry-standard backup and restore solution for virtualized environments, and vRanger Pro recognizes the ExaGrid system as a Disk Storage Unit (DSU). Administrators schedule regular image-level backups of virtual or physical machines--while the machine is still running--and vRanger Pro can perform full backups that automatically store on the ExaGrid system. Images are stored locally in the SAN or sent as compressed files over a WAN to remote locations to support disaster recovery strategies.
Beyond data deduplication, to get the most effective VMware backups, users need to think about other factors, like fast backups, rapid restores, and the ability to easily scale as your environment grows. By using a post-process architecture, ExaGrid accepts a vRanger Pro VMware backup at the speed of disk, which gives the fastest possible VMware backups and the shortest possible backup window. And since virtualized environments tend to grow quickly, a GRID-based architecture allows the ExaGrid system to grow along with it. You can simply plug in additional ExaGrid appliances to create a larger virtual pool of storage as your data grows, rather than a series of isolated boxes, or a stack of storage shelves.
