VMware & Hyper-V Backup, Recovery, and
Replication
Speed
— Patented Active Block Mapping with Changed
Block Tracking reduce
size, network payload, storage space and backup and restore timesScalability — Parallel
job execution and distributed architecture completes operations fast. Dynamic resource governing ensures operations don’t impact the performance of production networks
Ease of Use — Integrated Catalog provides
indexed search and fast restores of individual files
VMware Ready – vRanger is VMware
Ready™Slide5

Agentless Architecture
Direct-to-Target Architecture Advantages
Eliminates I/O bottlenecks during backup and restore operations
Much faster backups and restoresEnables parallel data protection operations for improved scalability
Parallel backup, replication, and recovery operations can be completed in a fraction of the time required by other virtual and physical
solutionsSupports the use of lightweight Linux virtual appliances to distribute VMware backup workloads across the environmentSlide7
Feature: Resource Management
Scalability
Automatically manages backu

based
on available resourcesSlide8
Resource Governing Advantages
Scalability
vRanger Resource Governing ensures production application performance is not impacted during backup and recovery operations
Organizations can balance data protection SLAs with production performance goals
vRanger performance can be dialed up or down in real-timeSlide9

Ease of Use
Integrated Catalog Advantages
It’s 3 AM – where’s your backup?
vRanger Integrated Catalog allows search operations (including wildcards) to locate individual files from virtual and physical backupsLocating backups faster dramatically reduces recovery timesSlide11
Feature: Active Block Mapping
Backup/Restore Speed & Size
Only active blocks are read and written
Improves backup, restore, and replication speed
Reduces backup storage
Optionally eliminates Windows pagefiles and hibernation files from backups for improved backup, restore, and replication performance

vRanger Deduplication Support
Patented Active Block Mapping (ABM)
reduces vRanger backup data streams and backup storage requirements by up to 30%.
Dell
DR4100
offers a simple and cost-effective disk backup and recovery solution featuring deduplication, replication and capacity expansion. vRanger has been certified by Dell for usage with DR4100 disk-based appliance (RDA support coming soon)
EMC Data Domain Boost integration reduces network load, improves backup performance, and reduces backup storage requirements

Feature
Customer
Benefits
Auto discovery of newly deployed VMs; Deep VMware and Hyper-V integration
Eliminates manual updates to backup processesEnsures newly created VMs are backed up and can
be recoveredNo system reboots requiredIndexed catalog search
Reduces the time needed to find files for restoreReduces restore time
Integrated VMware replication
Cost effective & efficient disaster recovery for select VMware VMs
Scalable architecture
Virtual Appliance delivers outstanding scalability
Resource governing ensures virtual application performance is not degraded
Virtual and physical Windows server backup
One simple GUI provides VMware, Hyper-V, and Windows physical server protectionImage-based backup/restore
Reduced cost by eliminating the need for legacy physical backup solutions
Key vRanger DifferentiatorsSlide15
Automated backup of newly deployed VMs
A global information technology company hosts
hundreds of their customers’ virtualized applications and used to manually install agents on thousands of VMs. This took up most of the VMware
administrator’s time
They were experiencing high
levels of customer recovery failures as new VMs were missed and were being
backed up
Organizational Problem
vRanger automatically detects and protects all customer VMs ensuring they don’t lose key customers using their hosting service
Return on Investment
Admins
aren’t constantly trying to fix failed customer recoveries and can now restore key VMs and files – customer satisfaction has risen significantly
End User Benefit
Admins
are spending a fraction of the time deploying and managing backup, replication, and restore operations resulting in huge productivity savingsSlide16
Ease of use - Catalog search
A large state university experienced
frequent VM outages and was often unable to restore VMware hosts or VMs
Deploying their legacy solution to protect VMware was a full time job and they still couldn’t find and restore individual files fast enough to meet their restore time objectives (RTO)
Organizational Problem
VMware admin team manager told us “We use
vRanger
every single day for all kinds of recoveries. We can find anything in seconds and restore with a single click.”
The university is
also using vRanger’s EMC Data Domain Boost integration and seeing huge saving in backup time and storage footprint
Return on Investment
The university now has VMware
administrators that sleep at night
File level restores can be performed in only a few minutes
End User BenefitSlide17
Integrated VM replication
A major bank has the need
to replicate key
VMware VMs
for disaster recovery
Their agent-based, legacy DP solution did not have the needed replication capabilities and was far too expensive
Organizational ProblemReturn on Investment
The bank has
decreased replication times by 67% with vRanger’s built-in VMware replication, and at a cost that’s far less than hybrid solutions
The restore process at
the bank improved
from many hours to just minutes with vRanger
End User Benefit
The bank could not solve
their VMware backup/restore and disaster recovery requirements with one easy-to-use productSlide18
Scalable architecture
Customers can’t safely scale their VMware backup, replication, and restore operations as their virtual infrastructures grow. Agent-based legacy solutions are too expensive to use in large virtual infrastructures
Many VMware customers experience application performance problems as their backup, replication, and restore operations expand to protect new hosts and VMs
Organizational Problem
vRanger’s job parallelism, resource governing, and virtual appliance features allow vRanger to perform well and safely distribute workloads even in the largest VMware virtual environments – without ruining application performance
Return on Investment
vRanger’s scalable features can be deployed and managed in minutes
vRanger adjusts resource usage
limits as
needed,
in
real-time, and can automatically react to changing VMware workloads
End User BenefitSlide19
Virtual and physical Windows server backup
Many VMware customers use multiple solutions to backup VMware/Hyper-V and physical Windows server environments.
This
results in higher software license costs and added complexity
Organizational Problem
vRanger’s physical agent delivers superior imaged-based backup and restore for physical Windows servers at an affordable price
Return on Investment
IT personnel no longer need to administer and manage multiple backup products to protect their virtual and physical environments
