Disaster Recovery
vRanger Pro provides image-level hot backups – of either the entire virtual machine or just the differential – simply and easily, while the virtual machine is still running. Unlike agents, vRanger Pro runs outside the guest OS, and can be integrated with VMware® VirtualCenter. vRanger Pro is also VMotion aware so it can follow virtual machines to perform regularly scheduled backups even after they have moved. vRanger Pro also integrates with VCB helping to off-load backups from the host.
vReplicator supports replication of the entire virtual machine, including configuration settings, patches to the OS, the application itself as well as the data and all other OS-level changes. vReplicator allows for selective replication of individual critical-level virtual machines, eliminating the maintenance, network traffic and hardware expense that comes with replicating the entire LUN or SAN. vReplicator can replicate from many hosts to one host and can replicate to hardware platforms that are dissimilar from the source.
P2V-DR vRanger Pro Module The P2V-DR Module in vRanger Pro leverages the robust conversion engine of Vizioncore’s vConverter software. The cloning method employed by vConverter is executed at the “block-level” as opposed to “file-level” which results in extremely fast and reliable conversions with superior completion rates and no data loss. The P2V-DR module can extend your disaster recovery strategy to cover your physical machines. Now you can create images of both your physical and virtual machines which can be sent and archived at a remote site.
Virtualisation Management
vCharter provides a top-down view of performance for the entire virtual infrastructure in a drill-down display that shows each level beginning with the container, through to host level and then virtual machines. vCharter has “out-of-the-box” reporting that allows administrators to use default formats for tracking host capacity, VMFS inventory and virtual machine performance.
vOptimizer is an advanced optimisation solution that quickly and easily reduces a virtual machine’s virtual hard drive to the smallest size possible while optimising Windows guest operating systems for speed and performance. vOptimizer 4.0 offers many new functions for enterprise level customers while improving the interface and ease of operation for smaller, desktop-oriented users.
Toolbox Solutions
vConverter is an enterprise-class conversion solution that significantly reduces the time and effort spent converting servers to the VMware, Microsoft or Virtual Iron platforms. vConverter enables fast and easy conversions without disrupting the source physical system during the conversion process. There are never any reboots, no need to visit machines being converted, no software to install on the source and no downtime.
vMigrator is designed to eliminate the challenges of porting virtual machines to the new VI3 platform. During the migration process, the source virtual machines remain intact and unmodified, allowing them to be used by the workforce even as the virtual machines are being ported to the new production server. This automated migration process allows downtime to be minimised – even for complex environments – to a simple required reboot at the end for the upgrade process, which can take as little as 60 seconds.
vPackager makes it possible for users to more fully leverage investments in people and IT resources through the use and distribution of Snapshot and Differencing disk technology. Specifically, vPackager makes it possible to abstract “delta” configurations from original base images and then compact, optimise and catalogue these configurations as “packages”. vPackager packages are portable and can be used later by the same user or distributed to any number of users.
