"After virtualizing their physical servers with XenServer, SaaS provider asp-main GmbH was looking for a professional backup and disaster recovery solution for the company‘s virtual machines. This cloud computing provider from Vienna began implementing the Infrastructure Center (IC) for XenServer in November of 2009 with the modules IC-CIDeR and the Quick Recovery option along with IC-MoRe, and now plans on using additional solutions from mySoftIT in the future."

Infrastructure Center for VMware & XenServer

In a single graphical user interface the IC for VMware and XenServer (IC) offers professional automation and management functionality in the following areas:backup & disaster recovery, monitoring & reporting, high availability, zero VM downtime, or job control.

World of Products with Modular Design

True to the motto "one (installation) for all (modules)" the entire Infrastructure Center must be installed only once. The single modules are activated by license key(s).

This means on the one hand that it is not necessary to install the IC again if you opt for another module at a later date. On the other hand it means that a configurated test environment can be comfortably changed into a productive environment simply by changing the license key.

Convince yourself in the upcoming live webinar how easy and comfortable it is to install the Infrastructure Center for VMware & XenServer or to configure backup-jobs.

Challenges

Despite lots of advantages server virtualization offers some areas remain problematic as TechTarget’s Virtualization Decisions 2009 Purchasing Intentions Survey finds out.

Especially backup and storage management were among the issues which were not addressed enough by hypervisor producers.

The study shows that „[w]hen you add virtualization to an environment, you make things easier, but you also make things much, much more complex.”

Solutions

The Infrastructure Center for VMware & XenServer helps you reducing the complexity by offering professional management and automation solutions. With the IC you can manage the backups of your virtual machines in an optimum way and use the capacities of your infrastructure as efficiently as possible:

• Data deduplication and compression rates for full and differential backups of up to 90%

• Minimal Recovery Time Objective (RTO) as a result of restore functionality in every location within seconds

• Asynchronous replication via H2H backup for directly backing up VMs on alternative hosts

• Group configurations inclusive jobqueues, archiving and generation management

• Connection of external scheduling systems for centralized control, even within heterogeneous environments

• Real-time updates of logs and reports

• Automated storage control per single LUN

• Detailed analyses of data throughput, backup volume, backup times, etc. for using server and storage capacities efficiently

• Comprehensive communication between different solutions in the data center via SMTP & SNMP

• High availabiltiy and zero VM downtime

• And much more

The free test software is availabe in the download area.

In addition to backing up virtual machines in multiple backup targets (TSM, HP Data Protector, file server, SAN, iSCSI target, NFS server) the Infrastructure Center for VMware & XenServer offers a wide range of different backup paths as well.

For connecting different storage areas you can for example backup virtual machines directly on alternative ESX / XenServers.

Of course you can take advantage of the opportunity to recover VMs in seconds on the remote side, too.

Tune up your ESX World!

Since 2002 we have been optimizing virtualized infrastructures under VMware.

In numerous installations in ESX/ESXi environments the Infrastructure Center for VMware helps VMware users to manage their virtual machines in an optimal way.

Keeping up with our tradition we are pleased to inform you that our management and automation functionalities support the successor of VMware’s Virtual Infrastructure 3.x.

Efficiency, security, flexibility and, not least, value are key factors in the IT department at WGZ BANK. Since February of 2009 the central bank of the Volksbanken and Raiffeisenbanken cooperative banks and credit unions has been managing its virtual IT infrastructure with the Infrastructure Center (IC) from mySoftIT.
