4. Quicker, easier and more effective scaling
PHD Virtual’s unique architecture scales faster and more effectively. Deploying a new Virtual Backup Appliance (VBA) to handle additional workload or setting up a new backup job takes only minutes.
5. Faster performance
PHD Virtual Backup performs 3 to 5 times faster on backups when compared to competitors. We maximize speed by leveraging the best technologies available including change block tracking and deduplication.
6. Faster data recovery
Rollback Recovery gets you back up and running in minutes while File Recovery options provide access to your backed up files, folders and application objects within seconds.
7. Smallest footprint
PHD Virtual Backup has one simple component: the Virtual Backup Appliance (VBA). There are no management servers, proxy servers, or data servers required by many other solutions.
8. No physical machines. No added license costs.
Unlike other virtual recovery solutions that require one or more physical machines along with their extra costs and labor, PHD Virtual Backup is exclusively virtual. So there are no extra costs for additional hardware, operating systems, product licenses, or maintenance associated with licenses.
9. Lower demand on resources
PHD Virtual’s exclusive virtual architecture places lower demands on your infrastructure, off-loading processing from production VMs, using direct-attached snapshots, and conducting source-side deduplication.
10. Lowest storage usage
PHD Virtual Backup’s built-in, multi-stage deduplication technology uses less storage than competitors who only utilize deduplication across a single backup job.
11. More secure
PHD Virtual Backup passes industry-standard data center security tests. It can be configured with trusted security certificates nd data encryption is supported for data in-motion and at-rest.
12. More affordable
PHD Virtual costs up to 40% less than competitors while delivering far more value!
Don’t trust us though! See what some of the industries leading experts have to say:
“By leveraging the existing virtual infrastructure and taking advantage of its server and storage hardware as well as its virtual management interfaces, PHD Virtual keeps backup costs low even as it increases the level of data protection for VM environments. These techniques illustrate why PHD has separated itselffrom competitors in this space.”
- Jerome Wendt, Lead Analyst DCIG
“PHD Virtual Backup is tailored for Citrix, and they speak the Citrix language. PHD keeps up with all the feature pack releases and offers direct integration with XenCenter. We use their solution to backup our systems daily, and we also use their replication feature to replicate our critical systems to a secondary site for DR protection. The best part is we do all this without impacting our production systems. If people are using Citrix for their virtualization platform they should definitely being using PHD Virtual for data protection.”
