vRanger

Deduplication

• Integration with NetVault™ SmartDisk vRanger™ Edition provides enterprise-class dededuplication at an SMB price. Its industrial-strength, byte-level, variable-block deduplication is built on a hardware-agnostic architecture, making it easy to expand capacity.

Backup & Recovery

• vSphere 5 certified exploiting newly increased 59 streaming VDMK and 1 Terabyte memory limits
• One centralized installation provides VMware ESX and ESXi backup across your entire vSphere environment
• Native cataloging efficiently indexes file metadata for easy search and one-step recovery
• Active Block Mapping reads only active blocks from the image, minimizing backup windows and storage needs
• Distributed processing ensures you  avoid impact on host operations by sending VM data through a single, central server
• Backup jobs can automatically refresh to stay current with new VMs as they are added in the environment

Disaster Recovery

• Virtual Appliance (VA) for ESXi data replication provides flexible and cost effective Disaster Recovery (DR) capability
• One centralized installation provides ESX and ESXi replication across your entire vSphere environment.  
• Quick, cost-effective recovery can be done on site or at remote sites
• Easy backup of ESX and ESXi VMs to local repositories and replication of ESX and ESXi systems enables off-site recovery.
• Flexibility to combine backup and replication jobs  ensures you can meet SLAs for recovery time and point objectives

Application Support

• Image-level backups are compatible also with object-level and application-specific recovery; for example, you can use Quest’s Recovery Manager for Exchange with your vRanger backups for agentless, recovery of email and other Exchange objects
• Native VSS implementation ensures that applications are properly backed up and ready to restore
