Understanding V-Ray
Like a doctor's X-Ray, Symantec V-Ray gives IT administrators the ability to see more clearly. Better visibility delivers faster and easier recovery. Whether it is an X-Ray or a backup solution, a product that only protects physical or virtual systems only shows you half the picture, leaving you blind. Symantec NetBackup and Backup Exec, powered by V-Ray technology, provide innovative visibility into both virtual and physical systems.
V-Ray goes beyond traditional virtual backup solutions with x-ray like visibility into VMware and Hyper-V systems. Some solutions leverage the same, resource intensive approach for both virtual and physical backup resulting in blurry recovery, wasted storage, and missed or failed backups. Symantec V-Ray changes all that, delivering brilliant visibility for true granular file recovery, deduplication, backup load balancing, and automated protection for any new VMs that come online.
The Benefits of V-Ray
With brilliant visibility into backups of VMware, Hyper-V, the hosts they run on, and other physical servers, NetBackup and Backup Exec deliver benefits that other solutions cannot match.
- Intelligent deduplication across virtual and physical systems delivers up to 98% deduplication rates.
- Fast and efficient file or object recovery without the need to copy or mount entire VMs.
- Up 95% reduction in storage for VMware and Hyper-V backup.
- 10X faster virtual machine backups.
- Four types of recovery from a single backup pass – single file, full VM, full application, or objects within an application - saves time which makes achieving recovery objectives easier.
From the Leader in VM Backup
Many companies claim to be leaders, but nobody backs up more VM’s than Symantec. Close to two million companies protect their virtual & physical servers with Backup Exec and NetBackup. And no other company has won more awards for virtual machine protection than Symantec. Find out why customers, analysts and press endorse Symantec’s approach for both physical and virtual backup & recovery.
