RSM enables VMware customers to use company’s HX 550 flash hybrid storage system’s BackDating mechanism to instantly clone and recover VMs and data stores at the granularity of one second directly from Vmware Inc. vCenter. Obsoleting snapshots, BackDating with RSM for vSphere reduces recovery time from hours to seconds, simplifies data protection management, and eliminates excessive overhead associated with conventional snapshot technologies for VMware customers.

With BackDating, when a data store or a VM has an issue, VMware customers can clone or revert the data store to the second before the issue occurred. Backdating offers an small recovery window for a virtualization environment.

“BackDating provides automatic consistency, which makes it possible to recover complex environments across data stores with no upfront configuration,” said Mark Weiner, CEO and co-founder, Reduxio. “These capabilities, combined with our flash hybrid storage system’s innovative deduplication, compression and tiering, deliver breakthrough storage efficiency and performance — and not just for VMware, but also for datacenter applications from Microsoft, Oracle and other major software providers.“

Redefining data management and protection
The company’s enterprise hybrid storage system provides IT managers and storage administrators with flash performance at less than the cost of HDDs. This allows users to consolidate applications to a system that is simple to deploy, easy to manage and allows applications to be recovered at the granularity of a single second.

Company’s flash hybrid systems are based on the TimeOS. The core of the TimeOS is its new metadata architecture that tracks all input/output (IO) operations to the storage and frees volumes from the bounds of physical storage.

The TimeOS enables the following features in the HX550:

• Nodup: real-time, in-line, global, always on deduplication and compression for hybrid storage, maximizing the memory cache and the flash tier, and minimizing overall data foot-print.

• Tier-X: continuous and automatic block-level tiering that stores first on flash, and moves cold data to slower tiers.

• BackDating: ability to recover data infinitely to any second in the history of a volume, eliminating the need to plan, manage or set snapshot schedules or consistency groups.
