The Necessary Of VMware Virtual Server Backups

It has been 14 years since VMware was founded in 1998 in an effort to bring virtual machine technology to industry-standard computers. VMware created a variety of products, such as VMware’s hypervisor and virtual pc manager, and became well known for GSX, VMware’s first type 2 hypervisor.

In 2001, VMware entered the server market. Since then, 4 million users and 99 of the 100 companies use software to backup VMware virtual machine. With features like vSphere Replication, VMware is regarded as the leader in the virtualization marketplace.

vSphere 5.0 and Site Recovery Manager (SRM) 5.0 include the vSphere Replication feature. It enables replication of VMs at the virtual layer instead of the storage layer which relieves customers from relying on 3rd-party storage applications. It also uses the vSphere’s Changed Block Tracking (CBT) to only copy the blocks that have been changed. This makes it much easier to attain lower Recovery Point Objectives.

One of the benefits of a VMware live backup is a reduction in expenses by consolidating servers and automation. Ongoing VMware innovation guarantees customers the latest IT tools and upgrades.
