Gaining More Value from Server Consolidation
If you are considering VMware as a means to consolidate server systems but you are concerned about the complexities of managing production data in virtualized environments, CommVault Singular Information Management helps to simplify the process. You get all of the same options for managing virtualized data as for data on physical systems. You can also take advantage of advanced VMware capabilities, which include protecting the VMware disk files to get crash-consistent recovery of the entire virtualized server, and VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB) to consolidate backup without having to saturate your business network with backup data.
CommVault can also help you adopt VMware virtualization, by migrating Windows file system data from physical to virtual environments with Continuous Data Replicator (CDR).
For more information on the options that CommVault software enables for managing server consolidation with VMware, see the CommVault Solution Sheet for VMware.
Extending Virtualization Benefits to Disaster Recovery
VMware is useful for reducing the equipment required to rebuild a production environment at a disaster recovery location. However, your data management software may have its own requirements for identical servers and storage which prevent you from taking full advantage of VMware's capabilities. CommVault data management is flexible and provides unique, built-in Disaster Recovery (DR) Backup capabilities that can rebuild the CommVault environment on dissimilar equipment quickly and efficiently. Take full advantage of the cost savings, and accomplish your disaster recovery mission by using CommVault software with VMware.
For more information on the Disaster Recovery methods that CommVault software enables for applications and file system data, see the CommVault Disaster Recovery Best Practices Guide.
Using VMotion while Preserving Continuous Data Recovery for Clients
VMware enables you to move guest-hosted environments from one ESX Server system to another, so that you can perform server maintenance and hardware upgrades transparently. CommVault software enables you to take full advantage of VMotion — even for clients protected with VMware Consolidated Backup — with the unique CommVault ProxyHost capability.
Use CommVault software to ensure continuous, simple, one-step restore of client data. Take full advantage of the virtualization benefits offered with VMotion.
