Optimized Storage for VMware Virtualized Environments
Optimized SSD Performance for your VMs with Cloud Backup/Restore and DR
StorSimple is only company that delivers an enterprise cloud storage appliance certified by both Microsoft and VMware. The appliance delivers automatically tiered primary storage, cloud archival, cloud data protection and cloud disaster recovery in one box.
Introduction
While organizations deploy VMware for the next-generation data center as the foundation for the private cloud, many quickly realize the manageability, flexibility, and cost benefits from a server and application perspective.
However, traditional storage infrastructure is expensive and inflexible when examined through the lens of end-to-end data lifecycle management.
Virtualization enables rapid protection, maximum efficiency, and portability of application and server infrastructure; yet a legacy storage architecture prohibits organizations from fully realizing its potential. Additionally, the cost of legacy storage infrastructure impedes many companies from fully deploying virtualization.
Benefits for VMware Deployments
The StorSimple appliance is designed to provide primary storage performance with cloud elasticity and economics for VMware virtualization deployments. Integrated primary storage deduplication with SSDs and automated tiering ensure that virtual machines receive the storage performance they need, and an on-ramp to the cloud enables organizations to take advantage of cloud elasticity and economics for both primary and backup storage.
StorSimple can be used with both vRanger and Veeam.
VMware customers that deploy StorSimple benefit from:
-
Reduce VMware Storage Costs by up to 80%
Integrating multiple storage devices into one simple to manage enterprise cloud storage appliance slashes infrastructure costs, energy consumption and rack space requirements. Storage capacity silos are replaced by one elastic storage pool with integrated deduplication for storage efficiency and lower cost, simplified data protection using efficient local snapshots and cloud backup capabilities, and disaster recovery using the cloud and portable backups.
-
Reduce VMware Management Costs
Separate primary storage, archival, backup/restore and disaster recovery hardware mean multiple separate management consoles. One integrated console makes it dramatically easier to manage the entire storage infrastructure, reducing overall management costs.
-
Get the Recovery Point Objective and the Recovery Time Objective You Want at the Cost You Want
StorSimple’s integrated snapshot technology enables instant and frequent backups of virtual machine datastores, allowing you to deliver the RPO you want at the price you want for your virtualized infrastructure. StorSimple’s integrated snapshot technology delivers instant restore in seconds not hours. In the case of a disaster, Cloud Snapshots and Cloud Clones enable simple off-site disaster recovery.
-
Enjoy Virtual Machine and Application Portability for Migrations and Cloud Bursting
StorSimple’s Cloud Snapshots and Cloud Clones enable fast off-site backups of your VMware environment using the cloud, which are globally accessible from any location where a StorSimple appliance is deployed. This makes migration of virtual machine datastores from one location to another simple, providing the foundation for cloud bursting applications leveraging multiple locations.
-
Reduce Cost and Simplify Deployment of Backup and Disaster Recovery
StorSimple’s hybrid storage appliance provides cloud elasticity and economics with primary storage performance and is the perfect complement to your deployment of VMware data protection and disaster recovery solutions including VMware Data Recovery, Veeam Backup and Replication, and VizionCore vRanger. StorSimple allows backup copies to leverage the cloud, allowing you to realize the lowest cost and greatest degrees of portability and protection.
