VizionCore - Product Introduction

Main product is vRanger PRO - which specialized in Data protection VM backups.

By the end of August 2010. VizionCore will complete the Quest transition and officially become Quest Software Server Virtualization Management group.

VizionCore is taking VmWare management one step further.

1. vConverter – License is Free. For Technical Support – chargeable
P2V solutions.
Incremental P2V Solutions. For DB etc.


2. vRanger Pro 4.
Typical backup –
Restore involves physical machine setup and agent setup then only data restore.

With vRanger Pro VM Image backup –
eliminate hazzle for setting up physical machine and agent. Go straight to Data Restore.


Features of vRanger Pro.
**Active Block Mapping. (ABM)
There's 3 types of data blocks -> actual data blocks, white space and deleted data blocks.

ABM is able to identify white space and deleted data blocks. Hence only backup actual data blocks.

After ABM, data goes through compression before being backup.

Dedupe will only be available after August 2010.


For Proxy based backup, the bottleneck is at the proxy.
vRanger provides the solution to bypass proxy and store backup direct to target. (critical for scalability). Good for multi sites backup.

New vRanger Pro version 4.5 supports CBT (Change Block Tracking).

vRanger Pro DO NOT backup to tapes. Only Disk to Disk.





3. vReplicator 3.0
Typical site replication scenario:
Storage replication – Expensive and often needs identical storage hardware at both production and DR sites.
Agent based – Agent on actual server, extra license cost for agents and OS at DR sites.


VM Image replication
block detection – eliminate white space, deleted data blocks.
Also Using CBT and Active Block Mapping (ABM)



4. vFoglight
Performance Monitoring- Fast problem detection with easy access.

Capacity Planning – cap sizing. Evaluate impact of change.
Analysis of historical stats. Not simulation.

Chargeback – chargeback to clients based on utilization

Service Management – track SLA of service. No aumation recovery action. Plain monitoring.

** AD and Exchange monitoring soon to be launched.

3rd party system monitoring integration.

Proactive monitoring.

** Webinar.. to show product.




5. VOptimizer
Thin provisioning.
cons – heavy IO apps will have performance reduced.
cons – deleted block space not recovered.


windows only. End of the month Linux also.
Storage cost and growth high. Poor storage utilization. -> which could trigger to additional storage cost and cooling and data centre cost.
auto scan environment for unused space. (vOptimizer WasteFinder)
ROI analysis for re-claimable space. (Actual figures as per input from users)




6. vControl
Self service portal for provisioning of VMs for End Users.

Currently not fully integrated with Chargeback from vFoglight. In order to integrate with Chargeback in vFoglight needs professional service.
