EASY TO USE

VMcom Backup Appliance provides a solution for an unlimited number of tenants. Administrators are able to control tenants’ storage quotas and granular permission settings. With no agents to deploy in the guest operating system, you get both flexibility and reliability for backup and recovery of your VMs.

Installation & Licensing

NO 3RD PARTY LICENSING

We have chosen a linux-based solution with a built-in database and tools. No third party components such as SQL servers are required. Thanks to automated usage reporting, dealing with licensing does not have to cause a headache anymore.

SUPERB VDP REPLACEMENT

VMcom Backup Appliance is a perfect replacement for VMware Data Protection which went to End-Of-Life stage in 2017. Same as VDP, VMcom is based on Linux, friendly to use and easy to deploy. Replacing VDP has never been easier.

Tech Features

FAST AND CONSISTENT BACKUPS

VMcom Backup Appliance leverages the VMware changed block tracking (CBT) technology and snapshots. This approach allows for fast and differential backups, transferring only blocks changed since the last backup.

GLOBAL DEDUPLICATION

Achieve outstanding levels of deduplication with VMcom's built in deduplication. It works at the datastore level rather than virtual machine level thus being more efficient than other solutions.

SSD CACHING

Application Screenshots

Multi-tenancy is unique to VMcom Backup solution. As a master administrator, you can see all backups of all existing tenants while tenant users can only see and manage specific parts of your inventory. This allows for unprecedented levels of self-service for virtual machine operators and saves valuable time of your core administrators.

VMcom handles file-level restores from both Windows and Linux filesystems natively. Browse your backups in the same way you know from your computer. You can even download older versions of your files with zero disruption to your virtual machine. No indexing required. You'll find that incredibly fast and easy to use. Let VMcom handle the difficult part for you.

Create a new virtual machine from an existing backup while the original is still running. You can even restore to a different vCenter or ESXi host. Create a test environment for your application in a few clicks or check the integrity of your backups with zero disruption to your primary workload.
