| Extend Your Disaster Recovery Strategy to Physical Environments
Users already know how easy and reliable vRanger Pro is for backing up and restoring virtual machines — now extend the flexibility and low RTO of vRanger Pro to protect your physical environment. The new P2V-DR module allows you to backup your physical servers running Windows OS to VMware Infrastructure 3 quickly and without any disruption or downtime. You can expand your disaster recovery plan affordably, enabling your physical environment to be backed up as simply and easily as your virtual environment, without using expensive agents. And, because virtual machine files can be compressed, storage costs can also be significantly reduced.
The P2V-DR Module in vRanger Pro leverages the robust conversion engine of Vizioncore’s vConverter software. The cloning method employed by vConverter is executed at the “block-level” as opposed to “file-level” which results in extremely fast & reliable conversions with superior completion rates and no data loss.
Key Advantages
Disaster Recovery
The P2V-DR module can extend your disaster recovery strategy to cover your physical machines. Now you can create images of both your physical and virtual machines which can be sent and archived at a remote site. In the event of a major failure of the operational site, the VM clones can quickly be restored to another site using the vRanger Pro interface and users can access their data and applications within hours.
Archiving Physical Machines
In many cases, versions of physical server deployments need to be archived to protect investments in intellectual property or critical historical data of an organization. With the P2V-DR module in vRanger Pro, companies have an extremely cost-effective way to archive point-in-time physical machines, keep track of them with centralized management features, take advantage of compression to reduce the size of the backups for lower storage costs and retore them easily if and when needed through vRanger Pro.
P2V Conversion “Bank”
vRanger Pro allows the physical machine to be converted and backed up on a consistent basis. If a decision is made to move the production environment to a virtualization platform permanently, the process of conversion has been already completed and it becomes an easy process to deploy the physical server as a virtual machine through the restore process in vRanger Pro.
Leveraging the P2V-DR module in vRanger Pro is an extremely simple process that comprises only three steps:
1: Configure vRanger Pro for P2V Backups. Add physical machines through a simple interface
2: Create the P2V Backup Job. Select the physical machine, point it to a destination, select options and schedule the backup.
3: Restore the P2V Backup Job. Restore any P2V backup exactly the same way as a standard vRanger Pro.
