WAN-optimized replication, global deduplication, and encryption enable public cloud services

Image download, overnight shipment, or virtualized recovery in the eFolder Continuity Cloud provide flexible recovery

“Our partners wanted to replicate their images to the cloud with data integrity assurance, global deduplication and labor-free retention policies. With the eFolder AppAssure cloud, they can meet these requirements.”

Ted HulsyVice President of Marketing

eFolderFully managed AppAssure cores hosted in eFolder’s cloud receive replicated bare metal backups into the eFolder Storage Cloud, enabling multiple DR options


Reduced operational complexity for IT staff, saving significant time

Achieved scalability with the vRanger Virtual Appliance backup architecture

The University of Miami met their goals for stringent backup and restore SLAs for over 350 VMs due to vRanger's LAN-free performance, scalable architecture, and ease of use

University of Miami Miller School of Medicine significantly reduced backup and recovery complexity with vRanger’s ease of use, performance, and scalability

Dell vRanger Overview


What is vRanger?

• Windows-based, wizard-driven backup, replication& recovery solution optimized for virtual environments

• 100% Agent-less, image-level, disk-basedVirtual Machine backup, replication, and recovery

• With image-level, disk-based Physical Windows Serverbackup and recovery

• Application-consistent snapshots with log truncation

• Backup using CIFS, NFS, FTP, SFTP, and Data Domain Boost

• LAN-free backup and restore• Native full catalog• Windows, Linux FLR• AES-256 encryption


Have you ever. . .

• lost an entire LUN/datastore where multiple VM's reside from data corruption or some other issue?

• lost an entire VM that will not boot successfully following some kind of change?

• had to perform a system state recovery?• had to perform a bare metal recovery?• been requested to perform a restore on a VM that was

not scheduled to be backed up?• been asked to backup a powered off VM?• been asked to perform multiple VM restores for disaster

recovery testing?• been asked to perform a file-level recovery on a VM?• had challenges supporting VCB and looking for

alternatives that can scale to support your growing environment?

• had to perform a backup catalog restore prior to perform disaster recovery restores?


Why it Matters to Customers: Modernize Data Protection for Highly Virtualized Environments• Reduce complexity

– Extremely easy to use› Minutes to download and get to 1st job› Native catalog with 1-click restore

– 100% agent-less, API-based operation and management for automation› Automatically backup newly provisioned VMs› Dynamically adapt to vMotion and Storage vMotion› Achieve application-consistent backups and replicas of transactional

systems• Increase performance & scalability

– Fast› Full / incremental / differential backups, and differential replications› VDDK HotAdd and SAN advanced transports› LAN-free backup AND restore

– Scalable› Backup 10-10,000 VMs with Direct-to-Target architecture & massive

parallelization• Reduce cost

– Low up front cost– Low total cost of ownership


Reduce Storage Footprint with Active Block Mapping• Only active blocks are read and written• Reduces storage space by up to 1/3 and speeds backups,

replications, and restores• Minimal overhead on production systems

Unallocated Block

Disk Layout Blocks read and written


Optimize Performance

• Fine tune the maximum number of concurrent operations running off specific resources

• Dial performance up or down in accordance with available resources to optimize job execution


Native Catalog Provides 1-Click File Restore• Index created during the backup operation• Wildcard and keyword search across all repositories
