NexaVM is a hardware-independent virtualization platform focused on reducing overhead, maintaining predictable costs, and ensuring data protection compliance, making it essential to safeguard its workloads.
A hardware-independent design separates the virtualization and storage layers, allowing issues to arise independently in either.
Different storage backends offer flexibility, but each has unique consistency behaviors that a universal backup may overlook.
Attackers target all virtualized infrastructures; a single compromised backup can ruin recovery plans.
Snapshot-consistent backup taken through the virtualization layer itself - no in-guest agents to deploy, patch, or lose track of across a fast-growing VM count.
Backup logic that reads block-level changes correctly whether the underlying volume sits on local disk, iSCSI/FC/NVMe SAN, NFS, or a distributed storage pool.
On platforms where a native changed-block-tracking API isn't yet exposed, an equivalent mechanism is needed to keep incremental backups fast without full re-reads of every disk.
Write-once-read-many backup copies that resist modification or deletion, satisfying both ransomware-resilience needs and data-retention obligations under GDPR-aligned frameworks.
The ability to power on a protected VM directly from backup storage - collapsing recovery time from a full restore-and-boot sequence down to a near-immediate failover.
For environments mid-migration, the option to restore a captured VM onto a different hypervisor entirely - decoupling recovery from the original source platform.
Accelerate backup operations while reducing storage consumption and network load.
Forever-incremental backup technology, combined with CBT or Vinchin SpeedKit, minimizes backup windows by transferring only changed data.
Built-in deduplication and compression further eliminate redundant data and optimize backup storage, helping reduce costs without compromising recovery performance.
Recover critical workloads quickly and restore only what you need.
Instant VM Recovery can bring a virtual machine online in as little as 15 seconds by booting directly from backup storage, helping minimize downtime during failures or disasters.
Granular Recovery also enables file- and folder-level restoration without requiring a full VM recovery, making targeted data recovery faster and more efficient.
Build a resilient recovery strategy from backup verification to offsite disaster recovery.
The built-in Disaster Recovery Lab provides an isolated environment for testing and verifying backups, supporting rapid failover and recovery without relying on external virtualization platforms. Backups can also be replicated to secondary onsite, offsite, or cloud storage to support the 3-2-1 backup strategy, remote recovery, and long-term data retention.
Protect backup data against modern threats while keeping workload mobility simple.
Ransomware Protection combines malware detection, protected storage, and WORM technology to help prevent unauthorized modification or deletion of backup copies.
Flexible Migration enables workload transfers across physical, virtual, and cloud environments, supporting scenarios including V2V, P2V, P2P, P2C, C2V, and C2C with minimal downtime and operational risk.
