PHD Virtual ESXpress 3.6 - New Release
PHD have just announced support for vSphere in ESXpress 3.6 for the full detail on the product visit http://www.phdvirtual.com/products/esxpress-virtual-backup
PHD Virtual have been a market leader within the virtualised backup industry since the ESX 2.x days, they are one of "the" original Virtualisation backup vendors who noticed a gap that needed to be bridged to be able to successfully back up VM's without sacrificing ESX host and VM resources to backup agents/frameworks;
The latest version of 3.6 includes the following features;
- Full Vsphere 4 support
- Global side Deduplication of virtual machine backups (Note this is deduplication across the whole of your backups and i've seen the compression rate its fantastic)
- Multi User Instant file level restore
- Up to 16 Concurrent Backups per ESX Host (VCB Recommendation is 4-6)
- Built in Incremental backups
- And many more niche technologies which give them a competitive edge over other vendors
Installation and configuration of critical backup jobs is a breeze, this is certainly obvious when looking at how to install it is exceptionally easy as this video showshttp://download.phdvirtual.com/docs/esXpress3-5.swf . I will certainly be installing and evaluating the new release at some point from the PHD Virtual website and I highly recommend you have a look yourself, when i've had a chance to look at the new release I will hope to post some reviews.

Does the Quantum OEM version of esXpress contain the same functionality as the PHD Virtual version?
I'm wondering if functions that are also provided by Quantum's DXi hardware have been removed from the Quantum esXpress (e.g., Deduplication).
One other question... does PHD Virtual block level deduplication use fixed or virtual length segmentation?
