Optimized Protection for VMware Environments
Seamlessly Secure, Back Up, and Recover Your VMware Infrastructure with Reliable, Scalable Solutions Built for Modern Virtual Workloads
Storage Guardian's VMware To Alternate Location Validation Tool
The VMware To Alternate Location Validation Tool is a secure, scalable, and automated solution designed to validate and assess migration strategies.
The VMware to Alternate Location Validation Tool streamlines the transfer of data from a VMware appliance to an alternate location, enabling MSPs to securely extract customer data while maintaining flexibility to migrate to a different location with all existing retention policies intact.
The tool leverages native VMware appliance workflows to restore data to an alternate location, supporting multiple migration strategies. Whether moving workloads from VMware to Hyper-V or migrating data between BDR appliances, these native workflows enable automation through VMware’s built-in restoration processes.
Designed for large-scale migrations, the tool efficiently handles environments with multiple backup sets that would otherwise be time-consuming and impractical to manage manually.
It also identifies long-standing retention points and assesses the time required to extract data from the repository and appliance, helping MSPs align migration timelines with existing customer contracts.
The tool operates on a SaaS-based licensing model, enabling low-cost migrations without the need to retain legacy software—you pay only for what you use. Additionally, it includes a validation capability integrated with VMware, allowing MSPs to verify and validate virtual machines using VMware scripts before migrating them onto the network.
