Hyper-V Replication Software from NAKIVO

Create incremental Microsoft Hyper-V replicas to save storage space and accelerate the replication process. NAKIVO Backup & Replication uses the Resilient Change Tracking (RCT) technology by Microsoft. The solution creates the initial full VM replica and then saves only changed data blocks.

Ensure that Microsoft Hyper-V replicas contain consistent data of file servers, Oracle Database and Microsoft apps (Exchange Server, SQL Server, Active Directory). App-Aware Mode relies on the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to flush app data on a disk before creating a VM checkpoint.

Automate your replication activities and streamline their administration with policy-based rules. Configure policies to automatically create replicas of VMs that match your criteria.

Fully automate your workflows for different disaster scenarios and set regular recovery sequence testing without disrupting the production environment. Keep your replicas up to date and easily configure planned and emergency failovers, failbacks, and datacenter migration. Once created, DR sequences can be initiated with one click.

Create replicas faster with LAN-free data transfer. NAKIVO Backup & Replication mounts VM checkpoints and reads data directly from Microsoft Hyper-V VM datastores. You can also use Network Acceleration to speed up your VM replication activities by up to 2 times without putting an extra load on your network.

The initial full Microsoft Hyper-V replication requires that a lot of data be transferred through your network. Run staged replication to speed up the process and reduce the load. Transfer the VM backup or replica to a target location using removable media. Then, create a new replica and map the source VM to the transferred one.

Easily deliver replication and disaster recovery as a service to your clients. Create up to 100 tenants and manage them from a web-based management console. You can offload data protection tasks to tenants and let them manage their isolated IT environments via the Self-Service Portal.

Save time and system resources by creating Microsoft Hyper-V replicas directly from VM backups. You can use Job Chaining to run replication automatically once the backup process is finished.

Verify that Microsoft Hyper-V replicas are usable and can be recovered when a production VM is down. NAKIVO Backup & Replication disables networking and powers on the newly-created VM replicas to check if the OS is running.

Reduce time to recovery by automating your VM failover and network reconfiguration. When a production Microsoft Hyper-V VM is down, you can almost instantly switch to the VM replica and resume your operations with no downtime.

You can run near real-time replication of your production VMs with tight recovery point objectives (RPO). Ensure that you have enough recovery points while also saving your disk space. You can write up to 30 recovery points per replica and rotate them using the Grandfather-Father-Son (GFS) scheme.

Reduce Microsoft Hyper-V replica storage requirements by excluding swap files and partitions during replication. Additionally, you can enable automated Log Truncation for Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft SQL Server. NAKIVO Backup & Replication will remove app logs from the disk space after creating a replica.

Limit the amount of transferred data during replication by setting flexible throttling rules. You can create global or individual rules and run them on different schedules to offload the network during peak hours.

Automate, monitor, and orchestrate your Hyper-V replication activities even more effectively. Easily integrate NAKIVO Backup & Replication with other solutions via HTTP APIs.
