- Automate and simplify backups of your Microsoft® virtualized environment
- Rapidly recover from multiple, granular backup copies
- Simplify disaster recovery with policy-based remote replication
Speed backup, restore, and disaster recovery operations in a Microsoft virtualized environment
One of the many benefits of virtualization comes from consolidating multiple, underutilized servers and running them as virtual machines on a single system. You’re saving space, lowering power and cooling costs, and using fewer machines to do more work. You might also find that highly utilized servers no longer have the additional cycles to run a backup agent. With NetApp®, you can eliminate these bottlenecks by offloading backups from the host server to the storage system.
SnapManager® for Hyper-V™ automates and simplifies backup and restore operations for Microsoft Windows® Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V environments hosted on NetApp storage. This easy-to-use management tool enables you to leverage NetApp snapshot and replication technology for instant application-consistent backups and cost-effective DR for your entire Microsoft virtual environment.
Enhance your disaster recovery operations: SnapManager for Hyper-V can also trigger SnapMirror® updates upon backup completion to automatically replicate your latest backup copies to a secondary site.
