What is a VBA ?

VBA = Virtual Backup Appliance => Small Virtual Machine

• Deploy In Minutes

• Conduct Policy Based- “Hot Full or Virtual Full” Incremental Backups

• Backup Virtual Disks at Block Level

• Deduplicate at Source before sending data to local or remote storage target or multiple targets.

• Operate outside the hypervisor Console

• Ability to run during production Hours without impacting production

• Ability to run in Parallel

10

Virtual Backup Appliances

Controls host backups across the entire ESX farm

Fault Tolerant Deployment

Multi User Interface

Central Upgrade Management

25:1 Average Compression

No More more lengthy refresh of Fulls and Deltas

De-Duplicates backups across the entire Backup target

Saves Expensive I/O on backup target

VBA De-Duplication Configuration Center

VBAs powers off when not running conserving resources

New VBA is created for each backup

Up to 16 VBAs can run per host

Turnkey – automatically powered off when not running

Competitive Architectures

• Additional hardware and software required

• Two-step restore• Limited by # of proxy servers• Single point of failure• Increase storage requirements• Single user

• Server needed to control backups. Central point of failure

• Backups impact service console resources

• Backups impact LAN• Not scalable – limited CPU &

memory • Single user

Agent Backup Service Console Backup VCB Backup

• Backup Server needed to control backups. Central point of failure

• Backups impact LAN• Not scalable – limited CPU &

memory • Must choose between FLR or

entire VM, cannot have both.

Don't Affect Production VMs

esXpress VBAs are VMs – use Resource Pools to limit Backup resource drain and keep Production Vms running smoothly

Set CPU and Memory Shares to Low. This ensures VBAs get unused resources and

Production VMs aren't affected

Don't set a limit on Memory or CPU. This allows VBAs to use

all idle CPU and Memory for optimal backup times without sacrificing the environment

There is no need to Reserve any Resources for VBAs.

Leave Reservations set to 0.

18

Don't Affect Production VMs

esXpress VBAs have advance controls for limiting I/O during backups SAN, Local Disks, and Network Drives won't be overtaxed

Control Drive Read Speed in MB/Sec per VBA

Set always on or by time of Day (Production Hours)

Finally, a solution that can allow System Administrators to backup Production VMs during business hours without the fear

of bringing mission critical systems to their knees

19

Fault Tolerance – No Single Point of Failure

• The Only fault tolerant virtual backup solution

• esXpress operates independently of Virtual Center

• In the event of a host failure, VMs that HA to a new host will be backed up

• Build Target Teams – Logical groups of storage for backup jobs ensure every backup succeeds even if one target is down

• Fully VMotion aware – backups continue even as VMs move from host to hose

• No Proxy Hardware to fail

vSphere Changed Block Tracking-Speeds backups by reducing I/O

vSphere vStorage API

In order to find changed blocks of data, backups read through the entire source VMDK looking for changes.

vSpherevSphere vStorage API tracks

changed blocks of data.

esXpress reads only the blocks of data that have changed since the last backup. This reduces source I/O based bottlenecks and speeds up backups.

Increase Performance & Save Space

• Patent Pending Technology De-Duplicates all backups across the entire Backup Target

• No More Lengthy Refresh of Fulls – Every backup is a Virtual Full, but sends only changed blocks

• No More Lengthy Full/Delta Restores -Restore a VM in one step

• Saves Expensive I/O on backup target

• Perfect for backing up over the WAN

Source Side Data is De-Duplicated and Compressed before leaving the ESX Host.Saves network resources with an average 25:1 compression.

25:1 Rate

22

Meet your RTO/RPO objectives 4 times faster!

• Up to 4 Concurrent Restores per ESX Host

• Restore data using the same VBAs that created the backup

• Keeps restores out of the Service Console

• One step restore to working VM

• Set Automatic Bulk Restores for easy Replication – Only changed blocks are copied after initial seeding

• Replicated data is ready to run

23

Advanced File-level Restore

•Multi-user

•Drill-down interface

•No client software

•Restore to source

1 esXpress Date Smart Dynamic Technology allows for intelligent selection of VMs for tape archival.

De-Duplication Appliance “rehydrates” compressed backup data.

2 Send data to tape backup system via a Windows share or natively with an agent installed directly on the esXpress De-Dupe Appliance for better performance.

3 Data is sent to tape as VMware native VMX and VMDK files, allowing for one step restores from tape as data is not locked in a proprietary format.

Integration with Traditional Backup Solutions

Date Smart Dynamic Export

-ReHydrate and Access Backups from a SMB/Windows Share

-Only Copy the Data you need to tape

-Setup a recurring tape job, exports are Dynamic

Web-Based Interface & Multi-user Hierarchy

•Multi-user web-based interface allows users to administer from anywhere

•Delivered as virtual machine appliance for ease of installation and setup

•Virtual machine appliance can be deployed as duplication target upon role selection at startup

•Central management console provides one place to change all backup settings

•Policy-based hierarchical architecture simplifies configuration by using Global and Group-based settings

•Central backup target configuration allows choice in backup targets
