TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER / 15

What’s New in the VMware vSphere 6.0 Platform

Through the integration of VMware vSphere API for Storage Awareness™, storage array capabilities are pushed

through the vSphere stack and are surfaced in the vCenter Server management interface. Using virtual machine

storage policies, vSphere administrators can specify a set of storage requirements and capabilities for any

particular virtual machine to match service levels required by hosted applications. SPBM leverages Virtual

Volumes to recommend compliant datastores for virtual machine placement and to transparently turn on the

necessary data services based on native array capabilities. Through SPBM, virtual machine tailored data services

are executed by the array. Coupled with Virtual Volumes, SPBM ensures policy compliance throughout the

virtual machine life cycle.

vSphere Data Protection Enhancements

vSphere Data Protection is a backup and recovery solution for VMware virtual machines. It is fully integrated

with vCenter Server and vSphere Web Client, providing easy, disk-based backup and recovery for VMware

virtualized environments. All functionality previously available with VMware vSphere Data Protection

Advanced™ has been consolidated into vSphere Data Protection 6.0.

vSphere Data Protection features industry-leading EMC® Avamar® variable-length segment deduplication to

minimize backup data storage consumption. vSphere Data Protection virtual appliances can be deployed with

up to 8TB of deduplicated backup data capacity. Changed block tracking (CBT) is utilized for backup and restore

to reduce time and network bandwidth requirements.

vSphere Data Protection now includes agents that enable application-consistent backup and reliable recovery of

clusters and Exchange Server database availability groups. Individual databases can be selected for backup and

restore, and it is possible to restore individual Exchange Server mailboxes.

Secure, ecient replication of backup data between vSphere Data Protection virtual appliances provides an

easy, reliable method to move backup data osite for disaster recovery. Replicated backup data can be restored

at the target location or replicated back to the source location for restore. This functionality provides several

retention and recovery options to satisfy a wide variety of business requirements.

The best way to ensure backup data integrity is to perform regular “practice” restores. This important

activity is seldom performed in many organizations. vSphere Data Protection now includes automated

backup veriﬁcation—scheduled jobs that routinely restore virtual machines, boot the guest OSs, check for

VMware Tools™ heartbeats to verify that the virtual machines have been recovered successfully, and then

delete the restored virtual machines.

vSphere Data Protection features support for storing backup data on EMC Data Domain®, providing increased

reliability and backup data capacity. EMC DD Boost™ is utilized to minimize network bandwidth impact and

improve performance.

External proxies are now available with vSphere Data Protection. They can be deployed to remote locations such

as other vSphere clusters within the same site or across sites to help minimize network bandwidth requirements.

External proxies also enable support for as many as 24 concurrent backup streams and for Red Hat Enterprise

Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and the Ext4 ﬁle system.
