Vizioncore, the leader in server virtualization management, today announced that its flagship backup and restore product for virtual machines – vRanger Pro – has been named in VMware’s first ever VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB) Partner Integration Guide. The guide offers information on VMware Consolidated Backup integrations developed by VMware Technology Alliance Partners.

“This guide is an important step in helping virtualization users understand the various different backup technologies on the market,” said Chris Akerberg, President and Chief Operating Officer of Vizioncore. “VCB integration is really a key feature for any backup solution being used in a VMware environment and any product not offering this functionality is unlikely to be suitable for protecting production workloads. Interestingly, despite the fact that a number of new vendors are attempting to deliver backup products for VMware environments, vRanger Pro - now in its third-generation - is the only product in the guide specifically built for virtualized environments and sits alongside products from the established physical backup vendors. vRanger Pro is the best of the relatively new breed of backup solutions tailored for VMware Infrastructure, combining Vizioncore's proven technology with a deep understanding of the VMware architecture gained through our participation in the VMware Community Source and Technology Alliance Partner Programs.”

vRanger Pro is the recognized industry-standard backup and restore solution for virtualized environments – currently used by over 12,000 organizations across the globe. Administrators can schedule regular image-level backups of virtual or physical machines — while the machine is still running. Images can be stored either locally in the SAN or sent as compressed files over a WAN to remote locations to support disaster recovery strategies. A P2V module leverages Vizioncore’s conversion technology to allow customers to extend their virtualized DR strategy to physical machines.
