Quest Software has certified its VMware backup – vRanger – on HP StoreOnce Backup Systems to deliver an efficient offering for backing up and recovering VMware environments.
vRanger’s protection for VMware environments in tandem with HP StoreOnce Backup Systems enables customers to manage ever-increasing volumes of data by optimizing disk space usage and consolidating backups, while ensuring faster restore of critical data for disaster recovery.
The use of vRanger with HP StoreOnce Backup Systems reduces the size of backup files by leveraging a host of data-reduction technologies, claims the company.
vRanger supports several space-saving mechanisms, including VMware Change Block Tracking, incremental and differential backups, and Quest’s patented active block mapping technology.
For disaster recovery, the HP StoreOnce Backup System reduces bandwidth requirements for data replication to a remote location.
vRanger backups also can be integrated with backup applications that support copying or migrating data from the HP StoreOnce Backup System to tape, delivering an added layer of disaster recovery and archiving capabilities.
