High Performance, Cloud Enabled
Data Protection
NEW PHD Virtual Backup and Replication v5.4 provides the highest performance data protection for virtual environments and it's now extensible for easy integration into Enterprise, Public and Private Cloud infrastructures.
Enterprise, Private and Public Cloud Integration
Now it's easy to integrate the robust data protection capabilities of PHD Virtual Backup and Replication into Enterprise, Private and Public Cloud infrastructures. A new application programming interface (API) and software development kit (SDK) empowers enterprises and managed service providers with the capability to integrate and customize backup, recovery and replication into their virtualization management infrastructure and self-service portals.
Extensible API Integration – The new PHD Virtual API and SDK makes it easy to integrate backup, recovery and replication with your existing infrastructure, processes and applications. It also provides additional flexibility to extend and customize data protection for your environment.
- Public Cloud, Private Cloud – Integrate data protection with backend systems, management infrastructures and self-service portals.
- Enterprise – Integrate data protection with existing systems, processes and application infrastructures.
Enhanced Performance and Scalability
PHD Virtual Backup and Replication raises the bar for virtual machine backup and restore performance with a new optimized job processing engine and twice the number of data streams per VBA™ (Virtual Backup Appliance). The ability to easily deploy multiple VBA’s enables unparalleled enterprise scalability without the costs and complexity inherent in other solutions.
8 Concurrent Data Streams per VBA™ - Twice the number of data streams allows each VBA™ to process up to 8 backup and restore processes concurrently for maximum performance and throughput. (Available in Enterprise Version)
Optimized I/O Processing Engine – Enhanced I/O engine optimizes job processing providing more linear performance improvements when using multiple data streams and multiple vCPU resources.
Virtual Machine Replication
Replicating virtual machines has never been easier, more flexible or more efficient. You can easily replicate virtual machines from a production site to a Disaster Recovery (DR) site to provide fail over capabilities giving you immediate access to your virtual machines, applications and data in the case of a significant DR event. The DR site maintains cold standbys of VMs that are ready to run in minutes when you need to quickly fail over. Intelligent data replication only replicates changed data, keeping VM’s up to date while optimizing replication performance and minimizing network impacts and data transmitted to the DR site.
Replicate Without Impacting Production – VM’s are replicated from your existing backups and backup storage without the need to perform additional snapshots. Other products require separate snapshots for both replication and backup, consuming additional resources and impacting your production environment.
Intelligent Data Replication – During replication, only the data that has changed on production VM’s is replicated to the DR site optimizing performance and bandwidth utilization and data transferred.
Replication Seeding – Initial replication of VM’s may be “seeded” to the DR site using portable drives to minimize data transmitted over the WAN.
Verify Replicated VM’s – A built in Test Mode enables you to validate replicated VM’s in the standby environment so you can be confident in your ability to successfully fail over in the case of a DR event.
DR Flexibility with Open Export, OpenRestore™ and Mass Restore
Getting your backup data offsite and restoring your virtual environment from backups in the case of a DR event is easier than ever before. With Open Export and OpenRestore™ you can easily export VM’s from your backup storage for long term storage or archiving and VM’s are exported into standard OVF files so you can restore without any software. Mass Restore enables you to quickly and efficiently restore multiple VM’s from a single job so you can get your backup up and running quickly.
OpenExport – Export VM’s from your existing backups for long term or offsite storage. VM’s are exported in standard compressed OVF format for portability.
OpenRestore™ - Restore your virtual machines directly to your VMware hosts without the need to install PHD Virtual software.
Mass Restore – Create and configure a single job to restore multiple virtual machines at the same time to reduce restoration time and complexity.
Optimized Tape Friendly Backup – You can export standard virtual machine OVF files to provide efficient and optimized long term storage to tape and virtual machines can be directly recovered from your tape backups.
