The esXpress Value Proposition

Why 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, esXpress is able to achieve unprecedented economies of scale, simplicity of management, and cost-effectiveness.

Scalability – With 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 – 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 (VBA) 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 – esXpress uses proprietary “VBAs” – small virtual machines that run on each ESX host – to back up all the virtual machines on that host sequentially. Or you can install multiple VBAs on a host to simultaneously back up multiple virtual disks on a host.

Less Impact – esXpress VBAs operate as guests on the ESX server, starting up when needed and then shutting down. As a software-based solution, esXpress intelligently uses the virtual infrastructure to back itself up, without any additional hardware, and integrates seamlessly into your existing storage systems.
