Reduce VMware Storage with Virtual Hard Disk Compression

VMware technology has been critical in reducing the cost and number of servers that an organisation deploys not only in production, but largely in non-production environments where the duplication of systems across development, quality assurance etc can often been unchecked.

By allowing the business to run multiple operating system instances on the same hardware, VMware has delivered tangible savings in hardware costs as well as reduced management and complexity.

That is however only part of the equation. Many of your non-production environments, still occupy a significant storage footprint. That becomes the limitation.

The larger the storage footprint, the fewer the VMware instances that can be run on the physical hardware. Alternately you may even be using shared storage to accommodate your VMware footprint.

HyperBac Online reduces your VMware footprint by allowing you to run your VMware instance using as little as 25% of the native storage footprint. The benefit to the business is immediate and tangible:

  1.  More instances may be run on a physical server where local storage would otherwise be a constraint
  2.  Costly shared storage can be freed for use in production environments where it is better utilised
  3.  Physical server may be further rationed or redeployed
  4.  Hardware spend on both servers and storage can be constrained or even deferred.

HyperBac Online adds value to your VMware deployment, allowing you to further do more with less without impacting information integrity or solution performance.
