description
InMage vContinuum provides a unified solution for Backup and Disaster Recovery (DR) of VMware ESX/vSphere virtual machine (VM) environments. InMage vContinuum’s block-level asynchronous replication and host-offload architecture is designed for near zero impact on production VMs and to provide scalability for mid-tier and enterprise virtual environments. Built-in compression and WAN acceleration over cost effective IP networks allow you to maintain strict recovery point objectives (RPO), while reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO). Further, InMage vContinuum does not depend on any underlying hardware and storage features to accomplish this. It can extend Backup and DR solutions to physical servers through a seamless upgrade to InMage Scout, thus offering a consistent approach to protect, manage and recover virtual and physical environments.
