Scenarios
Esximo solutions can fit any VMware environment.
We have 4 basic solutions, which cover all Vmware deployment scenarios.
Esximo supports local and direct attached disk. This is very common with the free esxi product.
We support all vmware versions, from v4 through to 5.1.
Most of the solutions we can use your existing storage capacity.
Some environments may need additional capacity, and wish to take on our SAN product.
Esximo as a SAN
When used as a SAN, we simply snapshot the data, and replicate the snapshots.
This can also support physical servers via iSCSI.
Esximo as a NAS backup server
You can use the Esximo solution as a NAS backup server. And we’ll replicate any data to our data centre.
In this mode, we can support a wide variety server of solutions. If you can backup to nfs , microsoft networking, or iSCSI we have you covered.
Supporting your existing SAN
We can work with your existing SAN and vsphere.
But wait, don’t I need to buy a second SAN, and replication features, and install all the complicated vendor software ? No. We have a few designs to avoid buying vendor SANs and vendor based replication.
