Data Protection for VMware and Virtual Machines

Virtualized machines required specialized back and restore solutions. Learn about the problems with data protection and disaster recovery in a data center.

Backing up and restoring a virtual environment is a complex and time consuming process. Fragmented data protection can be transformed into a simple, scalable, and efficient solution. Learn how to restore any VM snapshot instantaneously with near zero Recovery Time Objective (RTO).

Easily run DevTest environments and many other things, such as temporarily spinning up a cloned environment, verify backups, or run analytics.

Data centers use multiple virtual machines from VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Amazon, and Nutanix Acropolis. In a data center the amount of data is constantly increasing and must be protected at a very fast rate for a small RTO.

Legacy backup architectures have not changed for many years, and typically use media or metadata servers. The backup data then needs to be deduped and compressed. This architecture does not scale. As the volume of backups grow, more and more metadata servers are added. This adds more single point of failures. If a metadata server crashes, the backup is lost.

Data centers often deploy multiple different solutions. They have backup software for VM environments, another for database, another for archival, and yet another for cloud. Multiple point solutions all mixed together. Manageability and maintenance becomes significantly more complex.

To create a DevTest environment with the latest production data, they deploy additional storage environments. This is costly, time-consuming, and does not meet the businesses need for agility.

Some take continuous VM snapshots but run into a limit. A restore has to transfer that whole tree of pointers to those snapshots. As you take more and more snapshots their Recovery Time Objective increases.
