Wasted Space is Wasted Money

• Wasted space in virtual infrastructures, due to
  overestimations of VM partition sizes upon
  creation (templates)

Wasted Space

• Unused VM space is typically between 50-80
• - Terabytes of wasted storage
• - Hundreds of thousands of wasted IT dollars
• Adjusting partitions extremely cumbersome

Scenario 1 VM, 1 volume 51GB wasted 500 at
10/GB If 1,000 VMs 500k wasted

Back Up Methods

• File level
• Inside the guest agents
• Symantec Net Backup, Commvault Galaxy, TSM, EMC
  Networker
• Difficult to completely restore VMs
• Image level (vRanger Pro)
• Complete copy of VM config
• Copy of OS, application data
• Easy restores of whole VM or files
• One File to Restore

20
Industry Standard Backup/Restore

• vRanger Pro 4.0 DPP
• Hot, non-disruptive full, differential, and
  incremental backups
• No software agents deployed - easy installation
  implementation
• Integrates with VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB)
  to offload backups from the host coming in Nov
  for 4.0
• Offers full VMware VirtualCenter integration
• VMotion aware to follow virtual machines
• Includes VSS driver to provide transactionally
  consistent backup images
• Compresses files so they can be sent over
  LANs/WANs to remote locations
• Integrates with data de-duplication solutions
• P2V-DR module to backup physical machines

21
Backup Methods in Summary

• File Level Backup
• Standard method used for physical machines
• Good for file restores, object (mailbox)
  restores, database consistency
• Can be a longer recovery time
• Licensed per server or VM
• Image Level Backup (vRanger Pro)
• New methods applied to VMware disk images
• Good for complete backup and recovery
• Fast, easy and leverages virtualization
• Licensed per CPU on the host backup up all VMs
  on host
• Can be significant ROI when replacing agents

22
P2VDR

• Agentless!
• Leverages vConverter technology
• Supports Windows 2000 and above

23
Replication of Selected VMs

• vReplicator

• Software-based replication of VMs enabling full,
  differential or hybrid backups to multiple
  destinations
• VSS support
• VMDK skipping, which allows bypassing of
  non-essential disks for faster replication passes
• Replication of entire image of VM
• Will replicate over the LAN or WAN without
  dependency on the SAN
• VMotion and DRS aware

24
Use Cases for Per VM Replication

• Quick Recovery of Servers
• Recover high SLA servers for which data recovery
  from the day before is not acceptable ex need
  at least last 4 hours of data
• Cost Effective Offsite Solution
• SMB clients who do not have the budget, personnel
  to support traditional BC/DR solutions
• Complement to SAN replication
• Larger clients may use Array-based products for
  Tier 1 apps and leverage our Host-based solution
  for Tier 2 3 apps

25
Fast, Reliable P2V Conversions

• vConverter

• Easy to setup and operate, very fast conversions
  at file or block level
• Superior migration economics for mid-large
  scale Server Consolidation initiatives
• Effective ongoing Disaster Recovery, including a
  Continuous Protection mode
• Synchronized Cutover
• Automated Remote Cold Cloning
• Task Profiles
• Quick Convert
