Vizioncore Inc., the market leader in virtualization data protection and management solutions, today announced the company received two awards in SearchServerVirtualization.com’s 2009 Products of the Year competition, which in the words of the publication, acknowledged the companies that  “we and our judges believe are best positioned to provide great products in 2010 and beyond.” 

Vizioncore vControl, the virtual-machine management solution that provides self-service provisioning, multi virtual-machine control and task-based automation, took first place in the Virtualization Management category. In writing about vControl, SearchServerVirtualization stressed how this "groundbreaking technology enables administrators to manage multiple platforms from a single interface…its consolidated, browser-based view provides a single pane of glass with which admins can centrally manage all types of virtual workloads."

In the Virtualization Backup and Storage competition, the publication states, “choosing winners for the Backup and Storage category for SearchServerVirtualization.com's Products of the Year was difficult -- to say the least.”  SearchServerVirtualization.com awarded the silver medal to the Vizioncore vRanger Pro . According to the judges, “Vizioncore offers a rock-solid product that features several innovative improvements,” including a backup engine that shortens backup windows and minimizes system resource utilization; proprietary techniques that minimizes the amount of data transmitted during virtual machine backup and recovery operations; and LAN-free (or fiber) backups that significantly reduce network traffic and offers administrators a variety of recovery options to achieve recovery-time-objectives as well as the appropriate level of recovery granularity.

“We are pleased at this recognition of our products by the experts at SearchServerVirtualization,” said Grace Krokidas, director of marketing for Vizioncore Inc. “Obviously vControl is unique in the market, offering ESX administrators the functionality needed to automate time-consuming manual processes in order to become more productive and reduce the risk of error, both key considerations in growing virtualized environments. In addition, this award is further validation of the strength of the vRanger Pro DPP solution, which won the Best of VMworld Gold award last year. We believe that vRanger Pro DPP both raises the bar and sets a new standard for virtualization backup and recovery that very few other products can match today.” 

vRanger Pro DPP is the next-generation data protection platform that offers substantial improvements to the backup and recovery process with much faster backup and restore speeds, and other major innovations, including:

• Direct-to-target architecture that introduces a plug-n-play modularity system to enable backup once, recover many capability over multiple protocols and storage targets.
• Image-level backups and restores at the file or image level.
• A smart backup manager with an intelligent job engine that enables real-time and parallel management of jobs in a scalable manner.

"Both awards further validate our market-leading position in virtualization management, a position that was also reinforced by the fact that we are now near 20,000 customers and closed-out 2009 with very solid results," said Krokidas. "In 2010, we will continue to enhance our already strong portfolio of products that can support our customers’ needs throughout the phases of virtualization growth and maturity. “
