Bounce to AWS and back to VMware Again.

Unitrends launched a new solution called Boomerang that gives you to ability to use AWS for load balancing, disaster recovery and data migration between AWS and VMware.

With Boomrang you can DR or migrate workloads to on/off premise to private/shared clouds from AWS and VMware.

This is pretty cool because if it means if I want to use AWS as a DR target for my private cloud solution I can do with other targets like our own shared or vCloud Air possibilities.

Few cool points about Boomrang:

  • FIRST VM IS FREE FOREVER!
  • After the 1st VM, it’s simply $19.95/vm/month
  • Built for: cloudbursting, migration, backup and DRWant to learn more?

The Great VM Backup Bake off..

I started a new project off. I have authored a comparison paper comparing 5 somewhat similar VM Backup solutions. This is the beginning of an iterative project. I know I can test more products and perform more tests but these are the products that came to mind and the tests are relevant to how I want to use the VM backup solutions. I’d like to thank Anton Gostev from Veeam, Joseph Noonan from Unitrends, Sergei Serdyuk from Nakivo, Andrey Polevoy from Acronis and David Gugick from Dell for your support. I want to point out a few disclaimers:

  • Hopefully there is no biased in this document. They all have their pros/cons
  • It was highlighted that I should have gone with a different Acronis product which I will in the next iteration
  • In testing you may find different performance results than what I saw
  • The results were graded based on my opinion and experience. Do not take this for gospel, do your research
  • Pricing may differ when speaking to the vendor or partner vendor.
  • False statements and corrections will be corrected in the next iteration.

If you like the document and you want me to talk about my experience please reach out to me.
