Vizioncore: Enhancing VMware Infrastructure• Founded in 2002
• Wholly owned, independently operated subsidiary of Quest Software
• Chicago-based HQ, Worldwide Sales Channel
• Proven – 12,500 customers; 90,000 licenses, 2,200 partners worldwide
• Extending the VMware platform – Backup, Replication, Monitoring, P2V Conversion, Optimization
Enterprise Clients
Product Strategy: Broader Positioning
Back Up Methods• File level
– Inside the guest agents CommVault, Tivoli, Legato, Veritas Difficult to completely restore VMs
• Image level – Complete copy of VM & config
Copy of OS, application & data Easy restores of whole VM or files File restore via vRanger FLR plug-in Quiesce VSS-enabled applications for
consistent data.
What is vRanger Pro?• vRanger Pro is the ultimate hot image backup and
restore solution for VMware Infrastructure:– Full image or differential backups– File-level restores– Simple integration with VCB– Full VirtualCenter integration– VSS driver for “transactionally consistent”
images– Compatible with other 3rd-party backup
software– P2V-DR module available
Who Needs vRanger Pro?Customers who:
•Need to complement existing file level backup software•Require complete image-level backup solution for easier
restores of entire virtual machines
•Want to reduce the number of agents in their environment
•Want to leverage virtualization to deploy affordable and simple offsite disaster recovery solutions
•Want to extend DR to physical servers in their environments
Why Use vRanger Pro?• Industry leading virtual platform backup and restore
solution• Easy to install and use by any level administrator with
little training• Integration with VMware features including VCB,
VMotion and VirtualCenter• “Out-of-the-box” administration • Affordable solution – low cost to deploy; reduces cost of
backup and recovery process in the data center

Why Customers Use vRanger Pro
• Any level administrator can use• Low cost to deploy, no agents to install• Faster restores for both image and files • Proven technology• VirtualCenter/VCB integration• Part of comprehensive Vizioncore toolset unmatched in
industry
Less Expensive & Reliable Alternative to Agents
vReplicator
• Full VM image replication OS and data volumes Asynchronous Changed data only
• Leverages proven vRanger Pro technology Copy to target Adds replication engine
Image Level Replication (per VM)
– Cost effective for SMB
– Simple for any level admin to use
– Replicate specific VMs, not entire LUNs
– Destination powered off until needed

vReplicator Advantages• Outside the guest per VM replication
– No agents in the guest
• No complex training
• Failover testing built in• No need for destination to be powered on
– Licensing of OS and application on destination usually not required
• Replication to dissimilar environment– Save on hardware costs
Why Customers Use vReplicator• Designed for servers that data recovery from the day
before is not acceptable – need more recent data
• SMB clients that could never afford an H/A solution
• Larger clients that may want departmental or select VMs replicated w/o using existing SAN mirroring
Enterprise-Capable: VM Performance Monitoring & Reporting
What is vCharter Pro?• vCharter Pro monitors your entire VMware enterprise:
– A single “pane-of-glass” approach– Scalable solution for large environments– Top down dashboard views with specific rules and metrics
for each topology level– Advanced statistical analysis– Fully customizable– Clear VMware architectural awareness– Automated metrics monitoring and storage– High-level data aggregation for simplified analysis
Who Needs vCharter Pro?• Customers who:
– Are running more than 100 VMs in their environment– Have provisioning of VMs handled by multiple administrators– Have a high volume of VMs with short life cycles or with
dynamic movement within the data center– Do not have clear trending or reporting on the impact of
higher utilization of their hardware– Are using VirtualCenter but require more granular
information on usage of CPU, Memory, Disk or NIC– Have VMs running in highly integrated and interdependent
systems– Are running critical applications on VMs which would have
high impact on the company if performance falls short
Why Use vCharter Pro?• vCharter Pro works “right out of the box”!
– Turn it on and start monitoring– Click on any displayed red alarms
• Alarms describe the problem and offer a solution• Web based interface – no client needs to be installed• Raw and derived metrics support informed decisions
What Are Advantages of vCharter Pro?• vCharter Pro is entirely customizable
– Dashboards and Views– Metrics, Rules, and Alarms– Reports
• vCharter Pro offers additional layer of security– Set up and control users, groups, and roles– Control/read/write/no access per role– Audit log to track product changes
vCharter Pro Advanced Features• VM Migration Modeling
– See the results and impact before moving VMs
• Bookmarks– Quickly return to frequently-viewed screens
• Online Help/Tutorials-- Complete training in best practices: e.g. create a
dashboard or report, add a view, use a grid, add a drilldown, and much more
vCharter Pro Extends VirtualCenter• vCharter Pro VC agents collect raw metrics about the following levels:
VirtualCenter Datacenters Resource Pools Clusters ESX Servers Virtual Machines Datastores
• Raw metrics can be combined to create DERIVED metrics; derived metrics can be leveraged for more info
• Metrics are stored in a database over time and provide a history!
