Vizioncore launches data protection platform

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill: Vizioncore Inc., a provider in virtualization, data protection and management solutions, recently announced the availability of vRanger Pro Data Protection Platform (DPP) for SMBs .

Version 4.5 of the image-based data protection technology enables IT administrators to address a major problem that has plagued IT departments for many years–backing up systems of any data size within required time windows.

"In one business case, vRanger Pro 4.5 DPP reduced the data backup time of a 2.8 GB virtual machine from 94 minutes down to three minutes," said Mike Coffman, DVP, Server Virtualization Management for Quest Software, the parent company of Vizioncore.

He added, "This demonstrates how image-level backups are more reliable than file-level backups and address the number one backup problem that has plagued IT for decades: Getting backup jobs to complete in the available windows.”

He further added that Many backup innovations have evolved in recent years to try to solve the challenge, but the exponential growth of data has been too large to manage with traditional methods. However, the image-based backup approach of vRanger Pro DPP, with the added features of ABM, CBT and RME, now effectively addresses that challenge.
