Recover Data Quickly at Any Level

Recover Data Quickly at Any Level

Perform instant granular recoveries of individual files and application objects directly from VM and vApp backups stored locally, offsite or in the cloud.

Protect Backups from Ransomware and Accidental Changes

Protect Backups from Ransomware and Accidental Changes

Keep your VMware Cloud Director backups safe from ransomware, accidental deletion and unauthorized changes by enabling immutability. Store backups in Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Backblaze B2 or other S3-compatible cloud, where they cannot be modified or deleted for a defined period, even by root users. You can also use local Linux-based repositories to create immutable recovery points and further strengthen your data protection strategy.

Simplify and Secure Backup Administration

Simplify and Secure Backup Administration

Simplify backup administration while maintaining strong security across your VMware Cloud Director environment. Use role-based access control to define who can access and manage backups and add two-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access. Service providers can delegate backup and recovery tasks to clients through the Self-Service Portal, allowing users to manage their own data through an intuitive web interface.

Improve Backup Performance Without Overloading Your Network

Improve Backup Performance Without Overloading Your Network

Shorten VMware Cloud Director backup windows and keep your network running smoothly. Increase backup speed and reduce the amount of data sent over WAN or slow LAN links with Network Acceleration. You can also use Advanced Bandwidth Throttling to control traffic and avoid impact on production.

FAQ

Can I manage backups across different environments and customers from one place?

Yes. NAKIVO Backup & Replication supports multi-tenant deployments, allowing you to manage multiple customers across mixed environments, including VMware Cloud Director, VMware vSphere, Proxmox VE, Amazon EC2 and physical workloads. You can keep each customer isolated while managing backup and recovery from a single interface, helping you simplify operations as your infrastructure grows.

Do I need multiple tools to protect VMware Cloud Director and VMware environments?

No. NAKIVO Backup & Replication lets you protect VMware Cloud Director workloads while also managing VMware vSphere environments from a single solution. You can back up VMware Cloud Director vApps and VMs, as well as VMware vSphere VMs, and use replication, real-time replication, monitoring and disaster recovery for VMware environments — all from one place. This helps you reduce tool sprawl and simplify operations.

How can I meet SLAs across VMware Cloud Director tenants and environments?

Meeting SLAs becomes more complex when you manage multiple tenants and platforms. NAKIVO Backup & Replication helps you maintain consistent RTO and RPO targets with fast VM recovery, granular restore options, physical-to-virtual recovery and automated backup workflows in one solution. This allows you to recover data quickly and keep services running across VMware Cloud Director and VMware environments without increasing operational overhead.
