vRanger Backup and Replication
- SKU: ESXRANGER
Accelerate VMware backup abd replication while dramatically reducing storage requirements
vRanger is a simple, fast and scalable data-protection solution that deploys seamlessly into virtual environments. It provides a single console for managing backup, replication and recovery.
vRanger is designed for use on both VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization platforms and also supports physical backup on Microsoft Windows. vRanger also supports enterprise deduplication and delivers efficient backup with the Dell DR appliances, EMC Data Domain and NetVault SmartDisk to reduce backup storage costs and improve backup times. vRanger scales with your virtual environment by maximizing resources through distributed processing, while simplifying management with central command and control.
Key Features:
- Protect entire VMware and Hyper-V environments in minutes: Deploy vRangers simple installation wizard and auto-discovery tool to locate both VMware and Hyper-V assets and safeguard entire virtual environments in minutes. Leverage vRangers agentless architecture to reduce time spent managing virtual backup, restore and recovery operations and to detect and back up new VMs automatically, without any manual effort, for complete protection.
- Deliver high-speed, storage-thrifty backup/restore for VMware, Hyper-V and physical Windows servers: Employ the fastest I/O path available to back up and restore VMware, Hyper-V and physical Windows servers quickly, with minimal disruption to production systems. vRangers patented Active Block Mapping feature reduces data streams, network utilization and backup storage requirements. Leverage client-side and target-side deduplication options with the support for the Dell DR disk-based backup appliance and EMC Data Domain integration to dramatically shrink backup storage costs.
- Quickly locate and restore individual files from virtual and physical backups: Locate and restore specific versions of VMs, files and folders in minutes and use vRangers integrated catalog and wildcard search features to find individual files quickly, whether theyre located within VMware, Hyper-V or physical Windows Server backups. Manage virtual and physical servers from a single, easy-to-use user interface, minimizing the effort, complexity and cost of backing up your data.
- Replicate key VMs for offsite disaster recovery preparedness: Replicate VMware virtual machines both onsite and at remote locations for flexible and efficient disaster recovery preparedness. Combine backup and replication jobs to ensure you meet your organizations recovery time and recovery point objectives. Perform fast VM failover and recovery at all of your sites, no matter where they are located.
- Deploy scalable data protection for even the largest virtual infrastructures: Leverage parallel job execution capabilities to complete backup and recovery operations faster and use resource governing to ensure optimal production application performance. Deploy the vRanger Virtual Appliance to distribute VMware workloads for better scalability. Use vRangers LAN-free mode to move backup and restore operations off LANs for improved virtualized application performance.
vRanger Backup and Replication – Features
Key Features:
- Deduplication
- Integration with NetVault SmartDisk vRanger Edition provides enterprise-class dededuplication at an SMB price. Its industrial-strength, byte-level, variable-block deduplication is built on a hardware-agnostic architecture, making it easy to expand capacity.
- Backup & Recovery
- vSphere 5 certified exploiting newly increased 59 streaming VDMK and 1 Terabyte memory limits
- One centralised installation provides VMware ESX and ESXi backup across your entire vSphere environment
- Native cataloging efficiently indexes file metadata for easy search and one-step recovery
- Active Block Mapping reads only active blocks from the image, minimising backup windows and storage needs
- Distributed processing ensures you avoid impact on host operations by sending VM data through a single, central server
- Backup jobs can automatically refresh to stay current with new VMs as they are added in the environment
- Disaster Recovery
- Virtual Appliance (VA) for ESXi data replication provides flexible and cost effective Disaster Recovery (DR) capability
- One centralised installation provides ESX and ESXi replication across your entire vSphere environment.
- Quick, cost-effective recovery can be done on site or at remote sites
- Easy backup of ESX and ESXi VMs to local repositories and replication of ESX and ESXi systems enables off-site recovery.
- Flexibility to combine backup and replication jobs ensures you can meet SLAs for recovery time and point objectives
- Application Support
- Image-level backups are compatible also with object-level and application-specific recovery; for example, you can use Quest’s Recovery Manager for Exchange with your vRanger backups for agentless, recovery of email and other Exchange objects
- Native VSS implementation ensures that applications are properly backed up and ready to restore
