application life cycle?

Virtualization

Virtualization, in computing, refers to the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including but not limited to a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources.

Hypervisor-specificfunctionality and integration

Changed block tracking• 20x faster backup

• Near-continuous data protection (near-CDP)

• VMware: leverages VMware CBT Hyper-V: leverages Veeam change block tracking,

• which includes support for CSVs

vPower• Exclusive patentedVeeam technology

• Publishes the contents of the backup file as a datastore a host can connect to– Compressed, deduplicated, incremental

• Runs the VM directly from the backup file

“This is why I love Veeam.They take all the virtualization technology pieces on the table andput them together

into a functioning business solution.”

Why replication?Virtualization enables cost-effective replication for any application– Inexpensive standby hosts– Dissimilar storage– VM-level (not application-specific)

Virtualization enables unified data protection– Image-based incremental backup– Image-based incremental replication– Only difference is the target
