Server Virtualization

Syncsort Backup Express (BEX) provides the tools that allow you to accelerate server virtualization, make your virtual machines dramatically more efficient, and realize the full return on your server consolidation investment.   BEX enables fast low-impact data protection, near-instant recovery with BEX Instant Virtualization™, highly efficient storage utilization, and customizable virtual machine reporting.

BEX leverages your virtualization investment to provide:

 

Fast, highly successful backup performance while optimizing hardware utilization

BEX Zero-Impact Virtual Machine Protection.  With BEX you are assured that even your most critical applications and production servers are reliably protected in your virtual environment.  The BEX solution eliminates virtual machine and application contention on the physical host through fast no-impact virtual machine protection. This uniquely optimizes both performance and resource utilization – reducing network traffic and storage needs, increasing overall backup success rates, and enabling frequent recovery points.

High-performance, easy-to-deploy recovery

One Minute Disaster Recovery.  BEX Instant Virtualization™ allows you to simply map a point-in-time server snapshot to a newly defined virtual machine on any ESX host, and the recovered machine – data, applications, and operating system – is available for use through the VM in a read/write capacity, nearly instantly.  As this provides one-step granular or application-level restore without even a file transfer or proxy server, recovery performance, flexibility, and ease-of-use are greatly enhanced.  With BEX, recovery of individual files or application objects, such as an Exchange mailbox, is accomplished swiftly and easily.

Ease of management through a single “pane of glass”


Superior Reporting and Resource Handling.  Administration of a virtual IT environment can be challenging.  With BEX, a single dashboard displays all the valuable virtual environment data for resource management and reporting, including performance, storage allocation, usage and free space. It also allows you to drill down to the details, enabling you to manage your VM infrastructure easily and effectively.

Optimal use of resources to elevate the benefits of your virtual environment

Cloning and Provisioning.  BEX enables rapid, non-disruptive cloning of any physical machine, virtual machine, or application to a VM. BEX also has the ability to rapidly provision new virtual machines, which would include your BEX agents, easing virtual machine creation and management
