When a system failure occurs and you have a sub-par ESX data recovery solution, your solution is not really much of a “solution.” If you can’t get things up and running again within short order, it may be time to reconsider your disaster recovery solution. You need to be able to restore your system in a simple and quick manner.
One option is the esXpress VMware Backup & Recovery Solution, a VM World Gold Award Winner in 2008. The esXpress solution recently reduced Seattle Bank’s recovery point from one business day to less than two hours, according to the CIO of the bank. This represents a 92 percent improvement in recovery time.
The esXpress solution offers up to 16 simultaneous backup streams per ESX host, which translates to a high-performing, scalable system that needs less time and less hardware. ESX data recovery does not have to result in slow networks and enormous backup files. The esXpress system does not require additional hardware or physical servers.
Virtual disk mounting is not necessary with esXpress; rather, restoration can take place at the file level. Backup files are kept smaller through the use of source-based methods. Complete disk restoration is possible even if users do not have access to the esXpress application. With block level restoration, all VMs can be returned to their precise state.
The licensing is cost-effective for each host and offers unlimited sockets or cores. Customers can choose between platinum and gold support contracts, which entitle current users to free upgrades and patches. Both web and telephone support is offered, with the response time depending upon the severity level and impact on business.
Your ESX data recovery solution is a critical IT choice. Sony, Texas Instruments, and Toshiba are just some of the clients that trust esXpress for their data backup and recovery.
