Virtualization Protector for VMware (vProtector)
The Virtualization Protector for VMware extends Unitrends' solution for the protection of Virtual Machines running under a VMware ESX environment. VMware has a published an infrastructure to backup and restore Virtual Machines called vStorage API set. Unitrends' solution leverages this technology to offer a comprehensive solution for protecting virtual machines. Virtual machines hosted in ESX environments are protected with the Virtualization Protector. ESX servers hosted under a vCenter management node are supported as well. The free versions of ESXi are not supported by the Virtualization Protector.
The Virtualization Protector is a pull based architecture in which the ESX servers (via vCenter or directly) will respond to requests sent from the appliance. There will be no software component installed on the ESX servers, the vCenter server or the Virtual Machines.
The Virtualization Protector is fully integrated into the RRC (Rapid Recovery Console).
