Managed backup for VI admin Back up VM, datastores , vApps , groups Managed and scheduled within vCenter Uses smart VM/VMDK hardware snapshots Leverages file clone and HTI technology: space efficient, independent, unlimited Auto-protects new VMs, including desktop VMs Vaulted snapshots to tertiary storage VM and application-consistent backups Microsoft® and Linux apps – latest generations of Microsoft SQL Server®, Microsoft SharePoint®, MySQL, Oracle, and Microsoft Exchange* for app consistency . Backup Features and Benefits With Virtual Infrastructure Integrator VMDK level hardware snapshot
Restore flexibility Fast and efficient, regardless of virtual machine (VMDK) size Restore a 1TB VM in seconds rather than hours Enable individual file recovery, VMDK, or full VM restore Mount snapshot to production VM – easy recovery Restore without impacting other snapshots Ability to create a running version of previous VM snapshot Fast-clone a VM from previous snapshot “Run Monday’s snapshot version of the VM on Thursday” Restore Features and Benefits With Virtual Infrastructure Integrator
Customer Validation Virtual Infrastructure Integrator provides us with flexibility and operational efficiencies that were sorely missing in our previous backup solution. File cloning with deduplication are real game-changers for our rapidly evolving virtualization environment – Director of Operations, Fortune 500 Manufacturer

Virtual Infrastructure Integrator and Snapshot Vaulting for Offsite Copy Vaulting VM snapshots on primary H NAS platforms to secondary tertiary storage (HNAS node) Accomplished by space efficiently replicating a copy of the snapshots at a defined frequency to another HNAS device in the same data center or a remote data center You can view the details for a vault and the frequency at which vaulting occurs from the Virtual Infrastructure Integrator Web client services plug-in GUI
Why Virtual Infrastructure Integrator and Vaulting: Veeam Study
Features Added in Virtual Infrastructure Integrator v 2.1 Flex Web client Vaulted snapshots – basic Mount snapshot VM disks Auto-deploy NFS datastores Best practices compliance dashboard New dynamic groups vCenter logging Flex policy support
Data protection capacity being managed by Virtual Infrastructure Integrator VM capacity under management. Visibility to Hitachi Data Systems customers running VM infrastructure on Hitachi storage VM statistics per storage device Total VM count Total VM capacity vCenter and ESXi stats Hi-Track – vProducts “Hi-Track” on 1st useage should be spelled out as “ Hi-Track Remote Monitoring system” – if that’s what you are referring to. Is “vProducts” a proper name or a coinage? If the latter, please reword.
