Virtualization
 
What are the benefits of deploying a virtual appliance?
 
Reduce Cost
Beyond the savings in hardware, there are savings in power, space, and cooling.
 
Save Time
Deploying a virtual appliance takes little effort.  Time is saved by not having to deal with any hardware components or the installation of an OS and associated software packages. 
 
Remove Complexity
There is one package that is distributed in the Open Virtualization Machine Format, allowing enterprises to deploy the virtual appliance in various virtual environments.

Increase Flexibility
Appliances can scale to support terabytes of backup data with a single click. Multiple appliances can be deployed rapidly and easily to support petabytes of data, with the ability to all be managed from a central interface.
