DRAPER, Utah, Aug. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Global backup and disaster recovery leader, StorageCraft® Technology Corp., announced the release of StorageCraft VirtualBoot™ for vSphere, a new technology that makes the recovery of data and systems exponentially faster and more efficient. This unique technology gives StorageCraft ShadowProtect SPX users the ability to rapidly virtualize backup images as guest virtual machines (VMs) directly on VMware ESXi hosts without the use of an intermediary appliance or secondary conversion process.
VirtualBoot for vSphere is used in conjunction with StorageCraft ShadowProtect SPX backup and disaster recovery software and is included with every SPX license. VirtualBoot for vSphere was developed in joint collaboration and participation with VMware through their vSphere APIs for I/O Filtering (VAIO) Program and is now certified as VMware Ready.
VirtualBoot for vSphere uniquely enables users to:
- Instantly virtualize SPX or ShadowProtect backup images as guest VMs directly on the ESXi hypervisor
- Permanently migrate physical systems or VMs from a different hypervisor platform to ESXi with minimal downtime
- Easily test changes to production systems offline
- Leverage existing VMware investments to maximize ROI
