Overview

VMware-integrated Enterprise Class NFS Storage

Simplify your VMware environment without compromise on performance. As an integrated plug-in to vSphere, BlueArc JetCenter allows vSphere administrators to work from their existing management interface to create snapshots for backup or recovery of virtual machines and VMDK files.

  • Choice of instant on-demand snapshots taken by the user, policy based snapshots, or orphan snapshots from deleted BlueArc or Hitachi NAS Platform storage systems and VMs
  • Policy-based retention allows the administrator to define the preservation timeframe by snapshot, freeing up storage capacity
  • Snapshot retention can be defined by the administrator by the number of backups, the number of days, or a mixture of both backups and days
