Why PHD Virtual Backup 4.0 for VMware, formerly esXpress?
Because you want to back up more data, in less time, at lower cost!
Most backup and restore solutions operate with a “More Data = More Time and More Hardware” equation. Only esXpress reverses this trend, making data protection a “More Data = Less Time and Less Hardware” equation. By conducting backup and restoration of virtual infrastructures in a unique and smarter way, PHD Virtual Backup 4.0 for VMware ESX is able to achieve unprecedented economies of scale, simplicity of management, and cost-effectiveness.
Scalability – With PHD Virtual Backup 4.0 for VMware ESX, formerly esXpress you can add new VBAs in just moments, run backups without affecting VM resources, reduce backup times and file sizes, speed up restoration, extend the life of storage targets and minimize network impact.
Simplicity – PHD Virtual Backup 4.0 for VMware ESX, formerly esXpress is a self-contained, autonomous, and inherently fault-tolerant data protection solution that you can simply “set and forget.”
Affordability – An economical, per-host pricing model scales even in the face of growing data and server requirements and ensures you are not penalized when you need to upgrade host hardware.
The Virtual Backup Appliance (VBATM) Architecture
Traditionally, backup solutions for virtual infrastructures have proven to be resource inefficient, management intensive and cost prohibitive. From the ground up, esXpress was designed and developed to back up virtual infrastructures in a simpler, smarter, more efficient and scalable manner.
More Scalability – PHD Virtual Backup 4.0 for VMware ESX uses proprietary “VBAs” – small virtual machines that run on each ESX host – to back up all the virtual machines on that host sequentially. Multiple VBAs running on each host will back up multiple virtual disks, simultaneously.
Less Impact – PHD Virtual Backup 4.0 for VMware ESX VBAs operate as guests on the ESX server, starting up when needed and then shutting down. As a software-based solution, PHD Virtual Backup 4.0 for VMware ESX, formerly esXpress intelligently uses the virtual infrastructure to back itself up, without any additional hardware, and integrates seamlessly into your existing storage systems.
