Server Virtualization
Server virtualization offers dramatic cost and management benefits that are transforming data centers everywhere. Yet these gains are often limited due to the impact of data protection in virtualized environments. Increased application density per physical server results in significant performance impact during operations such as backup and recovery. Traditional data protection methods just don’t work anymore.

As data center resource consolidation gains traction, many organizations are missing the big picture. For reducing primary storage footprints, they are looking at virtualization solutions in isolation; and for reducing secondary backup storage, they are focusing on deduplication solutions in isolation. To consolidate optimally, they must consider the full landscape.
|
The convergence of the two consolidation trends, virtualization and
deduplication, points to an ironic concurrence: inefficiencies in the
traditional data protection model. Inefficient backup both underlies
the need for deduplication and imposes debilitating constraints on
virtualization.
If data protection were inherently efficient, today’s rigorous demand
for data reduction on the secondary side, and the backup contention
menace that unbalances so many virtualization experiences on the
primary side, could both be reined in– while at the same time enhancing
backup and recovery performance,reducing hardware purchases, improving
protection, easing administrative strain, and successfully positioning
you for future growth.

Virtualization, Deduplication, and the Data Protection Connection—Reinventing IT Infrastructure Consolidation with Efficient Data Protection
to understand how efficient data protection delivers data center efficiencies.
Syncsort BEX provides unique, near zero-impact data protection for virtual machines, freeing you from the constraints of traditional backup methods. Backups are much faster, even while impact is reduced. Disk savings of 90% or more are achieved without the need for target-side deduplication devices. Multi-purpose snapshot technology provides near-instant recovery through the BEX Instant Virtualization™ process.BEX even gives you the tools for any-to-any data migration between physical and virtual machines, with full reporting on virtual machine status and resource utilization. All this from a single pane of glass management console, which can also incorporate your physical system backup, as well as tape archiving.
BEX is the high-performance data protection and recovery solution that helps customers drive ROI with the unique combination of high performance, optimal hardware utilization, and ease of use. Read BEX Virtualization Solutions Dynamic: Solutions for a Multitude of Virtual Machine Challenges and learn how to accelerate Server Virtualization and realize the savings – with High Performance Data Protection and Recovery.
