Fast Backups in Virtual Environments

Server virtualization is a new computing model that is transforming the world's data centers. The economics are compelling - by using VMware infrastructure to virtualize servers and consolidate them onto high-performance computing hardware such as Sun x64 systems. This paper is production-ready performance of market-leading NetBackup software running on Sun hardware in VMware virtualized environments. It also provides detailed, point-by-point guidance that will help the staff achieve comparable performance in their own virtualized computing environment.
