Virtualization has improved infrastructure of organizations, made them highly scalable, reduced their capital and operational costs, trimmed space consumption of machines, and lowered power and HVAC costs. However, with benefits come some new challenges.
IT businesses spend a lot of money protecting virtual data to maintain RTO’s and RPO’s for business continuity. The RTO refers to how long an organization can go without a specific application i.e., the maximum allowable or maximum tolerable outage.The RPO dictates the allowable data loss i.e., how much data can one afford to lose? For example, if a daily backup was run at 9 pm and the system crashed at 11 am the next day, then changes made since the last backup would be lost. The RPO in this context would be the last day’s backup.
Vembu BDR “Restore within 15 minutes”, provides an enterprise-level grade solution at an affordable cost to protect virtual data efficiently. Below are the top 5 reasons for SMB’s to choose Vembu over Veeam:
Affordable cost in market:
BDR v3.0 features our patent-pending Vembu HIVE™ file system that is designed for high performance, compression, encryption, deduplication and the ability to instantly boot the image in the event of a disaster.
- Full system backups and granular file level restores.
- Application consistent backups with transaction log truncation.
- One solution that works across VMware, Hyper-V and Xen.
- Free desktop and laptop backups.
- Automatic backup verification for data restore guarantee.
- All for just $20 / Month.
Persistent Boot Technology:
Persistent boot means that the disk operates normally except, changes to the disk are permanent even if the virtual machine is reverted to a snapshot.
This is a unique feature supported only by Vembu across the virtual and physical snapshot market. During a disaster, the backup images are booted virtually allowing affected clients to continue working on their business critical applications and serve their customers without disruption. The changes that are made after the boot are protected and restored to the original VM/physical machine. This additional feature helps clients resume their work where it was left off the last time.
Changed Block Tracking (CBT):
Vembu BDR supports CBT for both VMware and Hyper-V environments to enable high-speed incremental backups at the block level. This allows capturing even minimal changes on VM’s within minutes and backup periodically to maintain RTO and RPO.
RTO and RPO within 15 minutes:
Vembu’s near continuous data protection (near CDP) guarantees continuous availability of virtual machine anytime within the organization during a machine meltdown. Machines are recovered with RPOs of less than 15 minutes and support business continuity with persistent boot technology
Image verification Technology:
Virtual machine backups are verified continuously and automatically to ensure that the data residing on the repository is foolproof. IT administrators and managers can view the image verification reports to be confident about their RPO.
