PHD Virtual Our Focus
PHD Virtual provides industry-leading virtual
data protection and data recovery solutions for
VMware
esXpress enables companies to perform autonomous,
fault-tolerant backup and restoration of an
entire virtual environment in less time at lower
cost using virtual backup appliances(VBA's).
These small virtual machines can be deployed in
minutes on an ESX server to autonomously conduct
hot full or virtual full backups of virtual
machines.

The esXpress Backup Difference
Service Console Backup
VCB Backup
VBA Backup

• Additional hardware and software required
• Two-step restore
• Limited by of proxy servers
• Single point of failure
• Increase storage requirements
• Single user

• Server needed to control backups. Central point
  of failure
• Backups impact service console resources
• Backups impact LAN
• Not scalable limited CPU memory
• Single user

• Uses virtual backup appliances (VBA) small VMs
  to conduct hot full or virtual full backups of
  all VMs
• Operates outside of ESX console
• Requires no VM client agent or VCB
• No additional hardware software
• Block level image backup
• Multiple user

Anatomy of a VBA
A VBA (Virtual Backup Appliance) is a small Linux
Virtual Machine

• Turnkey turned off when not running
• New VBA is created for each backup
• Backs up one VMDK at a time
• Up to 16 VBAs can run on one host
• VBAs can be put into resource pools to control
  memory and CPU
• I/O can be controlled with innovative disk
  throttling
• Maintenance and patch free

VBA - OFF
VBA - ON
0M RAM 1G of disk space
256M RAM 3G of disk space

VBA Backup - Unmatched Benefits
High Performance Scalability

• Up to16 concurrent backup streams per ESX host
• Delta backups
• Block and File-level restore
• VBAs automatically added to meet backup
  requirements, no individual jobs needed
• Full VM recovery without using esXpress or other
  VM infrastructure (self-restore)
• Source-side global de-duplication across an ESX
  farm
• Fault-tolerant - VMware DRS/HA aware and
  VMotion compatibility

Multi-user Hierarchical Configuration

• Multi-user web-based interface allows users to
  administer from anywhere
• Delivered as virtual machine appliance for ease
  of installation and setup
• Virtual machine appliance can be deployed as
  duplication target upon role selection at startup

• Central management console provides one place to
  change all backup settings
• Policy-based hierarchical architecture simplifies
  configuration by using Global and Group-based
  settings
• Central backup target configuration allows choice
  in backup targets

esXpress Overview Fault Tolerance

• The Only fault tolerant virtual backup solution
• esXpress operates independently of hosts, as
  VBAs on other hosts in a cluster, automatically
  identify and backup new VMs once VMotioned to the
  new host.
