esXpress backup software for VMware ESX Server, provides you with a powerful, effective way to automatically backup and recover VMware virtual servers. esXpress provides the strongest encryption available* enabling compliance with government regulations and corporate policies.
You will gain the scalability and flexibility your organization demands as the virtual environment changes and grows. Our software portfolio allows you to combine backup, recovery, replication, continuous data protection, and backup management strategies for a comprehensive approach.
Backups of your virtual servers are different than those of physical servers. Virtual servers not only contain your data, but also contain the operating system and applications necessary to access the data. In essence, it is the whole computer.
With esXpress, your data is encrypted and safe for transport outside your facilities. While no law mandates data encryption, most regulatory agencies do set standards for insuring the security, confidentiality, integrity and protection of customer records and information. esXpress helps you to avoid embarrassing public disclosures and regulatory sanctions.
* Among VMware backup products. Currently esXpress is the ONLY backup solution designed for VMware that includes encryption. AES, 3DES, Blowfish and others supported.
Fast, Reliable, Daily Backups esXpress is the fastest product on the market for backing up VMware virtual machines. This is because esXpress was designed from the ground up specifically for the ESX platform by experienced Unix programmers. esXpress is not a new product, it’s mature and stable having been in use for
over 3 years at our client sites. What is new is this release to the general public and our patent-pending “Intelligent Delta Technology”.
Compare the time it takes esXpress to perform a full backup of 300GB of virtual machines with esxRanger. Even using 256 bit encryption, esXpress outperforms the competition.
When performing Delta backups, there is just no comparison. That’s because no other VMware backup product can do differentials at the vmdk level. Compare the times it takes to backup that same 300GB of virtual machines, but this time using our Intelligent Delta Technology. esXpress is 69% faster. That’s over 70GB/hour throughput per ESX host.
Our competitors believe their product is only half of your backup solution and do not recommend you use their software daily. Instead they recommend using their product once a week for your full backup, and use agents (Legato, Veritas, etc.) inside the virtual machines for daily incremental backups.
With esXpress you can keep your agents inside the virtual machines for which you still need file level restores. But for machine level restores you need only one product, esXpress. That’s because esXpress is so fast you can backup all of your virtual machines
every day. You can even backup virtual machines hourly, a feat just not possible with other VMware backup products.
