Main benefits of eterio eVOS plus

Virtualization on any hardware

Our state-of-the-art technology runs on standard eterio server hardware, providing unmatched performance and reliability.

Import existing VMWare and Hyper-V virtual machines within minutes

Transitioning from VMware or Hyper-V is straightforward. The virtual machine import wizard handles everything – just point it to the virtual disk, and it will automatically convert and create a new virtual machine.

High availability virtualization

The wizard will help you configure high availability for your virtual machines within minutes. In case of hardware or software failure, intelligent features detect it. The active server will automatically take over and restart virtual machines on the running node.

Reliable Backup

Scheduled backups of virtual machines ensure that data is always safe and available when needed. Support for Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) ensures the highest data consistency on Windows virtual machines by enabling copying of all data that might otherwise be blocked by write operations.

Instant Backup & Recovery Technology

The revolutionary Instant Backup & Recovery feature significantly simplifies the life of an administrator. Within moments, data backups can be obtained in case of loss or system failure. This feature is essential for anyone looking to protect their critical data and ensure business continuity. Scheduled backup feature supports Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), ensuring backup consistency and accuracy. Moreover, it is designed to occupy minimal space and have minimal impact on system performance.

Live Migration of Virtual Machines

With eVOS, you can migrate running virtual machines from one server to another without downtime. The virtual machine remains operational, and all RAM and settings are transferred. The entire migration takes just a few seconds. This feature is highly useful if you need to shut down or restart one of the nodes for servicing or updates.

Virtual Machine Snapshots with Cluster Awarenes

Virtual machine snapshots operate on any node, even if the file is in use and open on another node. This allows for creating snapshots of virtual machines and running them on a different node than the original virtual machine. Traditional snapshots depend on the original file. eVOS snapshots are completely independent of the original file—you get all the benefits without worrying about the performance and state of the original virtual machine file. Snapshot consolidation is also a thing of the past.

Virtual Machine Cloning

Create fully independent clones of the original virtual machine in its current state. They will use the data blocks of the original virtual machine as a reference and require significantly less disk space. Although they share data blocks with the original virtual machine, they are still 100% independent from the original. The original virtual machine can be deleted at any time, and the clone can simultaneously operate on any server.

Thin Provisioning

Thin Provisioning saves costs by reducing the allocation of storage through virtualization for virtual machines. Only sectors of the virtual machine that have been written to are actually placed on the physical disk.

Maximum I/O for Virtual Machines

Hybrid Storage Cache improves the performance of the storage server by dynamically moving frequently used data to faster, smaller devices such as SSDs. This allows you to build a hybrid virtualization server that delivers higher I/O performance and greater capacity at the same time.

Mirrored Storage

eVOS ensures that virtual machines are mirrored across different servers. This not only ensures high availability and security but also enables virtual machines to operate in two different locations.

Shared Storage via iSCSI, SAS, or Fibre Channel

Alternatively, all nodes can share the same storage and have simultaneous access to it. This can be SAS, FC, or iSCSI storage. eVOS supports ALUA/MPIO. Active/active and active/passive connections are supported.

Why eVOS by eterio?

Why choose our server virtualization solution?

Streamlined management, lower costs, comprehensive support, expert advice, and high availability with optimized hardware requirements.

Single software vendor – complete solution

Most virtualization solutions on the market require collaboration with three different vendors: the hypervisor manufacturer, storage manufacturer, and backup software manufacturer. This often leads to finger-pointing when technical issues arise, leaving the user to fend for themselves.

eVOS provides full functionality in one product. Its unique combination of virtualization, high availability storage, and professional backup tools will significantly simplify your life. Instead of three, you’ll have one competent partner who will assist you whenever needed.

We ensure high server availability

Virtual machines remain highly available even in the event of a complete server failure. eVOS ensures they are restarted on one of the remaining servers in the cluster.

Flexible storage options

Flexibility and scalability. The client decides what’s best for the organization.

Server mirroring

eVOS plus – benefits

High Availability

eVOS Plus ensures access to virtual machines even in the event of a complete server failure. While standard virtualization servers have redundant features like RAID or UPS, eVOS goes further by providing mirroring of virtual machines to ensure high availability.

Virtual Machine Mirroring Between Servers

eVOS Plus offers high availability through continuous replication and real-time data synchronization between two mirrored servers. Both servers contain identical virtual machine data, ensuring redundancy. Therefore, if one server fails, the other node can immediately start the virtual machine. It is also possible to define which virtual machine should run on which server, allowing for more efficient server utilization and higher performance simultaneously.

Three Services in One Place

Traditional virtualization solutions require communication with three different companies and contact persons:

Virtualization
Storage
Backup

With eVOS, you get everything in one product with a single support contact for all functionalities.

Professional Backup Software

Fast and reliable recovery of virtual machines is crucial to minimize downtime. eVOS includes powerful integrated professional backup software for creating reliable deduplicated backups of virtual machines. VSS support ensures the highest data integrity possible.

Fast and Easy Configuration

Creators help configure highly available environments for virtual machines with just a few clicks. eVOS can be monitored and managed from any network-connected computer using a browser interface. Event logging, statistics, and email alerts help fully utilize the capabilities of the storage server.

Wide Guest OS Support

eVOS supports all major modern operating systems. Virtual machines are automatically optimized for best performance on each guest operating system.

Thin Provisioning

Thin Provisioning reduces costs by virtualizing storage for virtual machines. Only sectors of the virtual machine that have been written to are actually placed on physical disk.

I/O Tunning

Define the I/O performance for each virtual machine. You can set the number of input/output operations per second or the number of MB/s to prevent resource monopolization by a single virtual machine or user.

Proven in the highly efficient Hypervisor industry

eVOS virtualization is based on the industry-proven KVM hypervisor. It is used in thousands of installations worldwide.

SSD Cache

eVOS can be configured for Cache Tiering, improving the performance of the storage server by dynamically moving frequently accessed data to faster, smaller devices such as SSDs. This hybrid storage feature enhances I/O performance and capacity simultaneously. It automatically analyzes incoming data transfers and moves frequently used blocks to faster SSDs. The longer the server is in use, the more efficient it becomes.

Hardware RAID Support

euroNAS products support hardware RAID arrays with various controllers from different manufacturers to enhance RAID performance. Additionally, euroNAS servers offer a tool for managing hardware RAID arrays integrated into the interface and support email notifications. It also includes the LSI Storage Management Agent for easier management.

Software RAID Support

An economical solution supporting all major RAID configurations, including RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 6. It also supports online capacity expansion, Hotspare Drive, and email notifications in case of disk failure.

VLAN Support

Separate your network by creating different VLANs.

Network Bonding

Network interfaces can be bonded together to provide failover redundancy or increased throughput (teaming).
