DGRIT needed a practical VM backup solution for clients running a few virtual machines on a single server, through to one of its largest clients, Digital Film Technology GmbH (DFT). DFT runs about 45 VMs on seven physical servers, which host almost 10 TB in applications and data to power its core business and accounting systems. DFT also has research and development teams that need copies of virtualized Linux servers to be created as safe environments in which to run software tests.

Solution: DGRIT regularly implements OpenText VM Explorer to meet its clients’ VM backup and recovery requirements. For DFT in particular, it has implemented VM Explorer Pro to manage the backup for the company’s 45 VMs.

DFT is planning to upgrade to VM Explorer Enterprise Edition in order to also use the product to manage backups to tape storage. This will enable the business to retire Commvault Simpana, which it currently uses for the task.
