Abstract

With virtualization’s ever-increasing adoption by small and medium size businesses (SMBs), and remote or branch offices (ROBOs), IT administrators face a major overhaul of the critical infrastructure that supports the expanding virtual environment.

In the data protection arena, while the environment will shift, the goal remains the same: to provide backup and restore capabilities to every server instance both as a whole, and as a file structure for individual recovery. The task then becomes choosing and implementing data protection for virtualized environments while maintaining interoperability and manageability with existing disaster recovery deployments.
