31 role-based access and enable better collaboration across infrastructure, operations and applications teams. Virtualized Backup Protecting data in a virtualized environment can be tricky. Data is distributed across a lot of devices, platforms and facilities, making it hard to control. What's more, new virtual machines can be spun-up easily, often without the backup administrator knowing that the workload needs to be part of the backup routine. It's a recipe for trouble. Virtual environments that use conventional software to back up their virtual machines are adding complexity to an environment that's already complicated enough. Conventional backup software must be licensed, installed and maintained on every virtual machine, so that software competes for virtual machines resources and impacts server performance. The goal: Simplify, simplify In a virtual world, new virtual machines need to be detected as soon as they're created and they need to be protected when they move. Setup routines need to be fast and easy; if there's a steep learning curve or if a backup solution is overly complicated, chances are good that newer workloads and devices will go unprotected until the IT team can find time to address the gap. Virtualized backup solutions are designed to integrate with a virtualized data center, providing backup scheduling and management from a unified console. This improves control over all assets – virtual and physical – while optimizing how storage is consumed during virtual machine backups, reducing backup costs.
