With Vembu’s VMware backup offering seeing massive improvements in StoreGrid 4.4, we are seeing more partners deploying StoreGrid for their VMware backup requirements. Last week alone, saw three big deployments. So I thought it is high time I wrote about top reasons you would love Vembu backup offering over others in the market!
1. Instant VM recovery
Unlike other backup vendors who add a ‘wrapper’ around the native format thus making it proprietory, we store backed up data in native VMDK format. This makes it possible to recover data instantly and you don’t even require a backup software to do the same – it can be achieved through Windows and Linux.
2. File Level Recovery
Combine the previous point with the fact that you can recover a single file from a backed up VMDK file and it just makes everything better!
3. Agentless
With our VMware backup offering, all you have to do is install a client on the Server Virtual Client Build for implementing agentless backups in virtual machines. This vastly increases the efficiency of your business by reducing OpEx.
4. Replication
Replication has been the heart and soul of StoreGrid ever since we started. Easy and efficient replication of data has always ensured that our partners are able to achieve 100% recovery from disasters.
5. Easy to use
Many of our partners have vouched for the fact that with Vembu StoreGrid, it is easier to configure backups and do recovery compared to a lot of other competitors. This is mainly because StoreGrid was built ground up with the backup and disaster recovery requirements of IT admins in mind unlike many of other backup vendors who built for a certain environment or market before adapting to this market.
6. Single unified solutions for mixed virtualization environment
Do your customers use Hyper-V? Or is Citrix Xen used more? Or is it a mix? You don’t have to worry. The single unified solutions we deliver for mixed virtualization environment have ensured that no matter what virtual environment your customers prefer, we help you backup.
7. Flexibility in deployment
Deploy StoreGrid on-site. Deploy StoreGrid off-site. Deploy StoreGrid on-site and perform off-site replication for disaster recovery. It’s all how you choose to deploy.
8. Best-in-class Value
As you know, Vembu StoreGrid 4.4 delivers the most comprehensive Backup and Disaster Recovery solutions across wide range of heterogeneous physical and virtual environments including Mac, Windows, Linux and VMware.
