Vizioncore Inc., the market leader in virtualization data protection and management solutions, will demonstrate the capabilities of its entire range of virtualization management solutions at Interop Las Vegas 2010, April 27-29, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. Vizioncore is a wholly owned subsidiary of Quest Software, Inc.

Attendees can view all of Vizioncore's solutions at the VMware booth, #1919. In addition, George Pradel, Vizioncore senior director of strategic alliances will present best practices for backing up and restoring both enterprise and SMB environments:

• “Backing up Your Virtual Environment – Best Practices,” Wednesday, April 28, 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Lagoon H on the second floor of the convention center.
• “How Virtualization Can Enable and Improve Disaster Recovery for Any Sized Business,” Tuesday, April 27, 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Lagoon H on the second floor of the conference center.

"We are honored to team up with VMware at Interop once again," said Vizioncore president and COO Chris Akerberg. "Our goal at Interop is to show attendees how to better protect and manage their VMware infrastructure by implementing best-in-class solutions for data protection and disaster recovery. Our approach is to offer ‘Simply Better’ backup and recovery by continually adding cutting-edge features to our flagship product, making it more robust, scalable and effective in the data center.”

Among the solutions Vizioncore will demonstrate is the newest version of vRanger™ Pro Data Protection Platform (DPP). Version 4.5 is expected to be generally available in Q2, and will feature patent-pending Active Block Mapping along with Change Block Tracking features, which, together, will significantly reduce data backup times. “We have over 100 customers in beta testing for version 4.5, and many have noted its screaming-fast performance," Akerberg said. "In tests for both single VM backup and multi-streamed groups of VMs, the results verify that vRanger Pro outperforms other solutions in apples-to-apples comparisons.”

Vizioncore also will demonstrate the following data protection, monitoring and administration solutions:

• Data Protection:
  • vReplicator is a virtual machine replication solution enabling disaster recovery and business continuity. It helps organizations meet objectives for recovery time and recovery point, while offering a low total cost of ownership. vReplicator provides highly reliable and near real-time server replication at a fraction of the cost of SAN array-based replication approaches.
  • vConverter™ provides effective ongoing disaster recovery in existing physical environments. It generates virtual backups for physical servers, and regularly updates virtual backups with changes occurring on the physical server.
• Monitoring:
  • vFoglight™ provides performance monitoring, capacity planning, chargeback, and service management to support key business objectives and help organizations mitigate the impact of resource sharing. With vFoglight, administrators can see the entire infrastructure through detailed architectural representations, and leverage out-of-the-box alerts and expert advice to detect, diagnose and resolve problems affecting performance and availability.
• Administration:
  • vOptimizer Pro is the only storage optimization solution that finds and reclaims over-allocated virtual machine storage, and realigns 64K partitions to optimize virtual machine performance. vOptimizer Pro scans through vCenter Servers/ESX Hosts and individual virtual machines for over-allocated storage, allowing the organization to see the amount of wasted virtual storage, as well as how much money can be saved by reclaiming this storage.
  • vControl is a self-service provisioning and virtual machine (VM) management solution that provides automated requests, approval and fulfilment. It also provides ongoing administration to streamline the provisioning process, improve virtual machine management consistency, and reduce administrative costs over the lifetime of a virtual machine. vControl discovers and tracks virtual machines, giving administrators complete visibility into their virtual infrastructures and enabling a more cost-effective solution for automation in the data center.
  • vEcoShell™ is a freeware desktop application that enables IT administrators to unlock the full potential of their virtual infrastructure, reducing the daily operating costs of managing multi-platform environments.
