vZip Product Page

vZip™ combines strong encryption and ZIP compression with the standard vSphere® web interface to provide organizations with the ability to encrypt and compress virtual machines prior to them being archived; enhancing security, achieving compliance, lowering storage costs, and decreasing transfer times.

• vZip Features

• Encrypt and decrypt dormant Virtual Machines: Encrypt VMs using passphrases or digital certificates
• Compress and decompress dormant VMs: ZIP compression reduces VM size by as much as 80% saving time and valuable resources
• Copy encrypted and compressed VMs: VMs can be copied to a network path or to a VMware® datastore
• Stop and start VMs: Allow a Virtual Machine to be paused or hibernated prior to compression and encryption and restarted once actions have been completed
• Integration with VMware® vSphere™: vZip plugs directly into the VMware® environment to secure and compress unused Virtual Machines, ensuring security while reducing disk space costs and decreasing transmission time. Administrators use the vZip GUI in vSphere™ to administer VMs
• “Running State” detection: vZip integrates with VM error states to prevent a Virtual Machine from being damaged
• VM configuration extension: Capture the configuration of a Virtual Machine for preview prior to decryption
