One of the coolest parts about going from a single-vendor to ESG has been the chance to see IT from a broader perspective.
As a long-time ‘software-guy’, this was a chance to re-discover the power of hardware, particularly as it relates to data protection.
This week, the ESG Lab team released its most recent Lab Validation Report … on the EMC VNX Total Protection Pack.
The report gives a great picture of the “continuous local, remote and application protection” that is offered for EMC VNX arrays.
- Continuous local and remote data protection and recovery with DVR-like rollback
- Point-in-time recovery of individual or multiple virtual machines with a single click
- The ability to define and manage recovery point objectives and SLAs across the infrastructure
- Automated failover and failback through integration with VMware Site Recovery Manager
Hi Jason,
I remember your name doing some research awhile back related to DPM – I can also remember that product in the early days and it has certainly come a long way. Any way, I noticed your post towards this ESG Lab report and wanted to say thanks and offer up a slightly different take on it here:

By the way, congrats on the move from vendor to analyst – hope it goes well for you!
Thanks
