StoneFly DR365V-1204L Getting Started Guide
ENG-114 V 1.1 Copyright StoneFly, Inc. 2018 Page 6
DR365V supports P2P, P2V, V2P, and V2V operations (Physical-to-Physical, Physical-to-
Virtual, Virtual-to-Physical, Virtual-to-Virtual) including restoring physical machines to
completely different hardware and restoring Virtual Machines to a completely different
Hypervisor.
The backup engine also includes snapshot, one-pane management, SSL-encryption, level-1
data deduplication at the source, compression, and much more.
The DR365V appliance includes a Virtual SAN Appliance (StoneFly Storage Controller Virtual
Machine SCVM™), a Virtual Enterprise Backup Engine, and the ability to create additional
Virtual Storage or Servers as needed. DR365V flexibility replaces the "fixed hardware model"
of the past with software-defined on-demand resource allocation (such as CPU, memory,
storage, etc.) based on your application needs.
StoneFly DR365V appliance's built-in advanced features include delta-based snapshots with
read-write snapshot volumes, Virtual Machine and volume backups, thin provisioning with
space reclamation as needed for the vault, optimized block-level parallel hardware-assisted
level-2 data deduplication with high-performance index engine and real-time synchronous
replication (campus mirroring).
Optional features include asynchronous replication, hardware-enabled block level AES 256
volume encryption, Fibre Channel SAN target, scale out NAS support for CIFS/SMB and NFS
protocols, and VSS database agent support. If you did not purchase one of these options
with your appliance and are interested in adding it, then please contact your StoneFly sales
representative for details.
In addition to serving as a backup appliance, you can migrate your existing Windows and
Linux physical servers into Virtual Machines running directly on the StoneFly DR365V
appliance and greatly reduce your hardware footprint and run many more applications on
much less hardware. Use of virtualized operating systems allows for complete hardware
utilization and considerable reduction in power and cooling costs. DR365V can reduce the
CapEx and OpEx of your datacenter by as much as one-third when the DR365V appliance and
its capabilities are fully implemented in an operation.
DR365V appliances can also be used for independent back-end enterprise storage (iSCSI,
optional Fibre Channel, optional NAS) for your physical and Virtual Machines. This back-end
storage provisioned by the DR365V employs all of the same advanced StoneFly features such
as snapshots, read-write snapshot volumes, thin provisioning, hardware-assisted data
deduplication, synchronous replication and more.
The DR365V can easily be configured to replicate to a second DR365V appliance on campus
and a DR365V appliance at a remote site or in the cloud for the ultimate disaster recovery
solution for your entire enterprise.
With the StoneFly DR365V, you can:
Back up all of your virtual and physical machines with disk-level snapshots including
operating system, applications, and data.
Manage the backup operations of all of your physical and virtual machines from a
single centralized backup management console.
Granular and file-level backups allow you to selectively back up specific files and
folders, or even network shares.
