Product Features
Thin Provisioning Reduce storage needs by utilizing dynamic storage that expands to meet the requirements of the virtual machine with no performance degradation.
Update Manager Reduce time spent on routine remediation by automating the tracking, patching and updating of your vSphere hosts, as well as the VM's applications and operating systems.
vStorage APIs for Data Protection Achieve scalable backup without disrupting applications or users by leveraging supported 3rd party backup software that leverages these APIs. Through this integration supported 3rd party backup software can perform centralized VM backups without the disruption and overhead of running backup tasks from inside each virtual machine.
Data Recovery Protect your data through fast agent-less backups to disk, with de-duplication to minimize use of backup disk space.
High Availability Minimize downtime with automated restart of your VMs following physical machine failure.
vMotion Eliminate application downtime from planned server maintenance by migrating running VMs between hosts.
