Symantec V-Ray – Visibility you need, protection you expect

V-Ray is a common term for Symantec technical features that allow unique visibility into your virtualized environment. Just like a doctor's X-Ray provides visibility to see what is inside, Symantec's V-Ray allows businesses to see what's inside your virtual environment so you can secure, protect, backup and recover virtual machines and maintain application and service levels more effectively.

Symantec V-Ray provides seamless physical to virtual visibility you need to help with:

• Virtual machine discovery
• Virtual machine security and protection
• Rogue and non-compliant virtual machines
• Failed and redundant VM backups
• Unplanned increases in Storage
• Failed application recovery
• Proprietary and confidential data across virtual machines
• Out of compliance licensing
