Description
The STORServer® Virtual Machine Backup (VMB) solution allows for the backup and archiving of VMware virtual machines directly to an IBM Spectrum® Protect server, whether it's within a STORServer Appliance or an existing IBM Spectrum Protect setup. Designed for ease of use, STORServer VMB can be swiftly installed and configured, requiring minimal daily management, making it an excellent choice for companies that need reliable backup for their virtual environments. This solution utilizes two backup technologies: VMB Native, developed by STORServer and used as the default option, and VMB Spectrum, which is derived from IBM Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments, specifically designed for VMware data protection. Users can select the backup method that aligns best with their specific requirements. The architecture facilitates the direct transfer of virtual machine (VM) data to and from VMs and IBM Spectrum Protect storage pools without needing to involve ESX/ESXi servers, while the implementation of changed block tracking (CBT) significantly reduces the volume of data that needs to be transferred, enhancing efficiency. Overall, STORServer VMB provides a streamlined and effective backup solution tailored to the needs of modern virtualized environments.
Description
boxd offers developers, engineering teams, and AI-agent applications access to persistent Linux virtual machines. Each virtual machine operates with its own kernel and features such as SSH access, a public HTTPS address, and persistent disk storage, allowing for the execution of software requiring a comprehensive computing environment, including Docker, systemd, long-running agents, and development servers, all within an isolated setup. Users have the ability to fork a live machine along with its memory and disk state, enabling them to experiment with alternative approaches without having to rebuild the entire environment; additionally, idle machines can enter a hibernation mode while preserving their disk state. Management of these machines is facilitated through SSH, a command-line interface, an API, and SDKs in Python and TypeScript. Organizations can easily integrate with platforms like GitHub, Linear, and Slack for enhanced collaboration. boxd can be operated as a managed cloud service located in Frankfurt, or it can be self-hosted on Linux infrastructure that supports KVM, with free deployment options available for configurations up to 16 vCPUs. Practical applications for boxd include cloud development environments, AI-agent test beds, background coding assistants, and staging environments for previews. This versatility makes it an excellent solution for teams looking to optimize their development workflows.
