Full Story:
EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today unveils
new products and support that optimize the protection of VMware
workloads across the spectrum of VMware environments to enable
protection everywhere. This includes enhanced support for VMware
Virtual SAN, VMware vSphere and expanded data protection options
for VCE® VxRail Appliances.
The integration between EMC's data protection portfolio and
VMware software empowers vAdmins to provision, monitor and manage
the protection of their virtual workloads through the standard
VMware interface. The updated version of EMC® Data Protection
Suite™ for VMware combined with EMC Data Domain Virtual Edition,
provide fast, simple and efficient protection for VMware workloads,
enabling continuous end-to-end protection through the native VMware
interface. Meanwhile, the support of RecoverPoint for Virtual
Machines (VMs) for VMware vSphere APIs for IO filtering, empowers
vAdmins to manage replication through vSphere Storage Policy-Based
Management, leveraging the common VMware framework.
EMC Data Protection and VCE VxRail Appliances
As IT
organizations increasingly look to hyper-converged infrastructure
appliances (HCIAs) to simplify and improve operational efficiency
for more and more use cases, they need a wider range of additional
capabilities and more cost effective scaling to support those
workloads.
VCE VxRail Appliance customers can now expand on its built-in
protection capabilities and leverage a wider range of EMC data
protection products to provide application consistency for backups
as well as comprehensive monitoring, reporting and backup file
search capabilities. Since VCE VxRail Appliances are powered
by Virtual SAN, they can be deployed with EMC Data Protection Suite
for VMs and EMC Data Domain Virtual Edition to provide a simple yet
comprehensive solution for businesses which require cost-effective
scaling to support workloads, or require comprehensive monitoring,
analysis, reporting and backup file search capabilities, as well as
backup and recovery and continuous data protection for mission
critical applications including Oracle, SAP, DB2, and more.
With today's EMC Data Protection Suite for VMware and EMC Data
Domain Virtual Edition announcements, EMC is making the extended
protection of Virtual Machines on VxRail Appliances:
Simple
- Simplified management makes of data protection for VMs fast and
easy
- Centralized monitoring, analysis, reporting and search of
backup data gives users one place to find out everything they need
to know
- A single vendor approach offers a unified point of contact for
sales and support from hardware to software to protection and
enables management through a single native interface
Fast
- Backup times can be reduced by up to 50%I
- Recovery times are up to 30x faster when compared to
traditional image-level restoresII
- By deploying solutions that are built to work together, data
protection for VMs on VxRail Appliances can be up-and-running in
minutes
Efficient
- Protection storage requirements can be reduced by up to
30x
- Up to 1,000 virtual machines can be continually protected for
zero RPOπ
- Software-defined protection storage offers simple
deployment
- Support for mission-critical applications, including Exchange,
SAP, SQL, SharePoint, Oracle, DB2, Sybase, and IBM Domino for
backup and replicationπ
EMC Data Protection and VMware Virtual SAN and VMware vSphere
APIs for IO Filtering
For organizations leveraging VMware
Virtual SAN, the Data Protection Suite for VMware also provides
industry-leading Disaster Recovery support for Virtual SAN through
EMC RecoverPoint for VMs. Having announced at VMworld 2015 that EMC
would become VMware's first replication design partner, this year,
EMC becomes the only VM replication vendor to support VMware
vSphere APIs for IO Filtering, as it brings a fully integrated
virtual replication data services through RecoverPoint for VMs.
RecoverPoint for VMs employs advanced multi-site synchronous and
asynchronous replication technology, offering up to zero RPO with
any point in time recovery via a highly resilient,
no-single-point-of-failure architecture for the most advanced VSAN
topologies. Because RecoverPoint for VMs is storage agnostic,
replication is supported between VSAN and non-VSAN environments,
enabling even greater flexibility. And VMware vSphere APIs for
IO Filtering integration empowers vAdmins to manage replication
through vSphere Storage Policy-Based Management, leveraging the
common VMware framework.
EMC Storage and VMware
In addition to its data
protection portfolio, EMC will be demonstrating VMware integration
in its primary storage arrays at VMworld. EMC Unity is the
company's first midrange storage array to deliver native support
for vSphere Virtual Volumes and Storage Policy-Based Management.
EMC has also made available a free community edition of EMC
UnityVSA™ ideal for testing and development usage. This VSA can be
deployed in a vSphere environment and provides full access to the
HTML 5-based user interface allowing users to get insight into how
to use Unity. EMC VMAX offers continued support for Virtual Volumes
enabling native integration for enterprise storage.
EMC will also demo the VMware capabilities of its XtremIO
all-flash arrays, such as VSI plugin, AppSync and ESA, at the show.
With its true scale-out architecture, EMC XtremIO excels by
delivering consistent and predictable performance at
sub-millisecond response times making it perfect for the demands of
businesses running large numbers of VMs. And its integrated Copy
Data Management and deduplication offsets the storage demands
created by XCOPY to deliver exceptional performance.
Availability:
EMC Data Protection Suite for VMware is
available today. EMC Data Domain Virtual Edition is available
today. EMC RecoverPoint for VMs supports VMware vSphere APIs for IO
filtering integration today. EMC Unity and EMC VMAX support Virtual
Volumes currently.
Executive Quotes:
Beth
Phalen, Senior Vice President and GM of Data Protection and
Availability Solutions, EMC
"Businesses need data protection everywhere – and that's as true
with virtual machines and converged appliances as it is for
traditional storage arrays. EMC's portfolio approach to data
protection, and deep integration with VMware, means that we're able
to offer solutions that can protect data wherever it is and empower
our customers to manage their data protection through the native
VMware management consoles. EMC's investment and leadership in data
protection for VMware environments is a true testament to EMC and
VMware's better together strategy."
Yanbing Li, Senior Vice
President and General Manager, Storage and Availability Business
Unit, VMware
"Data protection has quickly become a mainstream requirement now
that the majority of Virtual SAN customers are running
business-critical applications. By integrating with VMware vSphere
APIs for IO Filtering, RecoverPoint for VMs is a great disaster
recovery solution, offering up to zero RPO with any point in time
recovery via a highly resilient, no-single-point-of-failure
architecture for the most advanced Virtual SAN topologies. This
