• Will replicate over the LAN or WAN without dependency on the storage

• VMotion™ and DRS aware

• VMDK skipping, which allows bypassing of non-essential disks for faster replication passes

• VSS support

• Built in Test Failover

• Failover with reverse synchronization

Management and Automation

vControl • Centralized web-based console

• Manage multiple hypervisors from one console

• High availability for several hypervisors

• Multi management control of VMs

• Self service provisioning of VMs

• Workflow builder

• Library of several pre-built workflow

vOptimizer Pro

Best of VMWorld Finalist – New Technology

• Locate and total all over-allocated VM storage throughout customer’s data center(s)

• Help customers use their existing Virtual Machine (VM) storage more efficiently

• Right size under- or over-allocated VM storage

• Schedule and execute regular VM storage optimization procedures

• Produce and distribute VM storage cost savings reports

• Align partitions to 64K offsets to significantly improve VM performance

• IT organizations do not realize just how much money is being wasted on over-allocated VM storage

• Most companies have between 50% - 80% of empty VM storage

Align partitions

• All Windows VMs are misaligned; newly built, legacy, and P2V

• Designed to add performance benefits to Windows™ guest operating systems; specifically for data volumes

• Alignment detection display:

Aligning Benefits:

Summarizing Storage Savings

• High-speed ROI scans can determine VM storage over-allocation for entire Data Centers

• Total IT dollars wasted is calculated based on customer entered info including cost of storage and desired free space
