  1. Vizioncore Overview Chris Garn Aaron Newsome Territory Manager, Southwest Sr. Systems Engineer cgarn@vizioncore.comanewsome@vizioncore.com

  2. Vizioncore: Enhancing VMware Infrastructure • Founded in 2002 • Wholly owned, independently operated subsidiary of Quest Software • Chicago-based HQ, Worldwide Sales Channel • Proven – 12,500 customers; 90,000 licenses, 2,200 partners worldwide • Extending the VMware platform – Backup, Replication, Monitoring, P2V Conversion, Optimization

  3. Enterprise Clients

  4. Product Strategy: Broader Positioning

  5. Back Up Methods File level Inside the guest agents CommVault, Tivoli, Legato, Veritas Difficult to completely restore VMs Image level Complete copy of VM & config Copy of OS, application & data Easy restores of whole VM or files File restore via vRanger FLRplug-in Quiesce VSS-enabled applications for consistent data.

  6. What is vRanger Pro? • vRanger Pro is the ultimate hot image backup and restore solution for VMware Infrastructure: • Full image or differential backups • File-level restores • Simple integration with VCB • Full VirtualCenter integration • VSS driver for “transactionally consistent” images • Compatible with other 3rd-party backup software • P2V-DR module available

  7. Who Needs vRanger Pro? • Customers who: • Need to complement existing file level backup software • Require complete image-level backup solution for easier restores of entire virtual machines • Want to reduce the number of agents in their environment • Want to leverage virtualization to deploy affordable and simple offsite disaster recovery solutions • Want to extend DR to physical servers in their environments

  8. Why Use vRanger Pro? • Industry leading virtual platform backup and restore solution • Easy to install and use by any level administrator with little training • Integration with VMware features including VCB, VMotion and VirtualCenter • “Out-of-the-box” administration • Affordable solution – low cost to deploy; reduces cost of backup and recovery process in the data center

  9. vRanger Pro – GUI for Backup and Recovery

  10. vRanger Pro– GUI for Backup

  11. vRanger Pro– GUI for Backup

  12. Simple VCB integration • VCB integration in a couple of mouse clicks! • Provides resilience for VCB

  13. vRanger Pro provides… VCB enabled – just check a box! Full live image backups Differential block backups File level restore from images Archive retention & performance control policies Increased backup and restore performance in vRanger 3.2 VSS and P2V Now Available! VCB vRanger

  14. VSS: Quiesce at Application level • vRanger 3.2 currently has VSS support • Current VMware Tools quiesces file system only

  15. Full Virtual Machine Recovery • Ranger will restore full images using the traditional network method. Restores can be made to any vmfs, the vm name can be changed as well.

  16. vRanger Pro – GUI for Restore Recovery in 3 easy steps Differential backup and restores Restore VMDK’s to separate datastores

  18. Restore Options

  19. File Level Recovery • VMDK’s can be mounted by vRanger and file level restores can be accomplished. NTFS permissions are retained.

  21. File Level Recovery

  22. File Level Recovery

  23. vRanger Pro - Reporting

  24. Why Customers Use vRanger Pro Any level administrator can use Low cost to deploy, no agents to install Faster restores for both image and files Proven technology VirtualCenter/VCB integration Part of comprehensive Vizioncore toolset unmatched in industry Less Expensive & Reliable Alternative to Agents

  25. vReplicator Full VM image replication OS and data volumes Asynchronous Changed data only Leverages proven vRanger Pro technology Copy to target Adds replication engine

  26. Image Level Replication (per VM) Cost effective for SMB Simple for any level admin to use Replicate specific VMs, not entire LUNs Destination powered off until needed

  27. Initial Sync Leverages proven technology from vRanger Pro for initial copy Leverage vRanger Pro differential engine for changes

  28. Replication Passes • Process: • Check for vRanger running jobs • Check for hardware changes • Calculate changes to VMDK • Send and embed changes

  29. vReplicator – GUI Driven Management • Wizards • Setup • Job • VC Integration • Alerting • Logging • Performance Stats • Failover testing

  30. vReplicator Advantages Outside the guest per VM replication No agents in the guest No complex training Failover testing built in No need for destination to be powered on Licensing of OS and application on destination usually not required Replication to dissimilar environment Save on hardware costs

  31. Why Customers Use vReplicator Designed for servers that data recovery from the day before is not acceptable – need more recent data SMB clients that could never afford an H/A solution Larger clients that may want departmental or select VMs replicated w/o using existing SAN mirroring

  32. Enterprise-Capable: VM Performance Monitoring & Reporting

  33. What is vCharter Pro? • vCharter Pro monitors your entire VMware enterprise: • A single “pane-of-glass” approach • Scalable solution for large environments • Top down dashboard views with specific rules and metrics for each topology level • Advanced statistical analysis • Fully customizable • Clear VMware architectural awareness • Automated metrics monitoring and storage • High-level data aggregation for simplified analysis

  34. Who Needs vCharter Pro? • Customers who: • Are running more than 100 VMs in their environment • Have provisioning of VMs handled by multiple administrators • Have a high volume of VMs with short life cycles or with dynamic movement within the data center • Do not have clear trending or reporting on the impact of higher utilization of their hardware • Are using VirtualCenter but require more granular information on usage of CPU, Memory, Disk or NIC • Have VMs running in highly integrated and interdependent systems • Are running critical applications on VMs which would have high impact on the company if performance falls short

  35. Why Use vCharter Pro? • vCharter Pro works “right out of the box”! • Turn it on and start monitoring • Click on any displayed red alarms • Alarms describe the problem and offer a solution • Web based interface – no client needs to be installed • Raw and derived metrics support informed decisions

  36. What Are Advantages of vCharter Pro? • vCharter Pro is entirely customizable • Dashboards and Views • Metrics, Rules, and Alarms • Reports • vCharter Pro offers additional layer of security • Set up and control users, groups, and roles • Control/read/write/no access per role • Audit log to track product changes

  37. vCharter Pro Advanced Features • VM Migration Modeling • See the results and impact before moving VMs • Bookmarks • Quickly return to frequently-viewed screens • Online Help/Tutorials -- Complete training in best practices: e.g. create a dashboard or report, add a view, use a grid, add a drilldown, and much more

  38. vCharter Pro Extends VirtualCenter • vCharter Pro VC agents collect raw metrics about the following levels: • VirtualCenter • Datacenters • Resource Pools • Clusters • ESX Servers • Virtual Machines • Datastores • Raw metrics can be combined to create DERIVED metrics; derived metrics can be leveraged for more info • Metrics are stored in a database over time and provide a history!
