vRanger Pro v4.0 is Vizioncore’s next generation industry-standard backup and restore solution with increased speed and scalability. vRanger Pro 4.0 also shrinks the storage requirements for backups by introducing incremental support. This version will also deliver near instantaneous restores of files, finally eradicating the reason for procuring file level agents, as well as a simplified UI, upgraded reporting capability, improved load balancing, and platform support for ESXi.
vOptimizer Pro enables the reclamation of space taken on ESX datastores by automating the periodic resizing of Windows-based virtual machines. vOptimizer also improves VM performance and reduces the footprint of Windows by enabling the periodic streamlining of the operating system via the deletion of selected files and services. Results include reduced enterprise storage costs, more efficient VMs and a high return optimization best practice for ESX administrators.
vFoglight (formerly vCharter Pro) has been renamed in order to signal a software redesign to a console/cartridge architecture (as utilized by Quest Foglight). vFoglight retains key features like the single pane of glass view in multiple virtualization layers or multiple VirtualCenters, diagnostic alerting and will soon offer monitoring for key strategic resource intensive applications.
