The Importance of Sangfor HCI Protection

Sangfor HCI pools compute, storage and network into one unified layer that runs core business systems, so any gap in backup coverage puts continuity at risk. A dependable backup and recovery strategy gives IT teams a recoverable copy of every VM, shortens downtime when incidents happen, and keeps day-to-day protection management light even as the cluster grows.

Key Capabilities of Modern Sangfor HCI Protection

Orchestrated Disaster Recovery

Orchestrated Disaster Recovery

Coordinate recovery operations such as VM startup sequences, network configuration, failover, failback, and DR testing to make site-level recovery faster and more predictable.

Flexible and Granular Recovery

Flexible & Granular Recovery

Recover workloads at the appropriate level, from entire VMs and point-in-time recovery to individual files, folders, or multiple VMs, helping minimize downtime and unnecessary recovery work.

Cyber-Resilient Data Protection

Cyber-Resilient Data Protection

Safeguard backup copies against ransomware, accidental deletion, and unauthorized access with immutable storage, isolated copies, encryption, and access controls.

Verified Backup Integrity

Verified Backup Integrity

Continuously verify backup data and recovery points to ensure backups remain usable when they are needed, rather than relying solely on successful backup job status.

Intelligent Backup Management

Intelligent Backup Management

Centralize backup policies, scheduling, retention, storage management, and workload coverage from a single interface for consistent protection across the HCI environment.

Efficient HCI Backup

Efficient HCI Backup

Protect Sangfor HCI workloads with image-based, incremental backup while minimizing backup windows, storage consumption, and impact on production workloads.

Backup Encryption & Anti-Ransomware Protection
Instant, Granular & Cross-Platform Recovery
Agentless Incremental Backup

Vinchin connects to Sangfor HCI without installing an agent inside each guest OS, then combines forever-incremental backup with SpeedKit to shorten backup windows and avoid extra load on production VMs.

Deduplication and Compression

Vinchin reduces backup data volumes with multiple data reduction technologies. Deduplication transfers only unique data blocks to the backup repository, while compression can reduce the size of incremental backup data by at least 50%. Vinchin BitDetector further analyzes data to improve backup data efficiency and storage utilization.

Offsite Backup and Cloud Archiving

Vinchin helps Sangfor HCI users implement the 3-2-1 backup strategy with local backups, offsite backup copies, and cloud archives. Additional copies can be stored at remote sites or in cloud storage, providing alternative recovery sources when the primary data center becomes unavailable.

Backup Encryption and Anti-Ransomware Protection

Vinchin encrypts Sangfor HCI backup data during transmission to protect it from unauthorized interception. It also provides anti-ransomware backup storage with real-time I/O monitoring that blocks unauthorized applications from modifying protected backup data, adding an additional layer of security to backup copies.

Instant, Granular and Cross-Platform Recovery

Vinchin supports multiple recovery options from the same backup, including full VM restore, instant VM restore, and file-level recovery. It also enables cross-platform V2V recovery between Sangfor HCI and other supported virtualization platforms, allowing workloads to be restored or migrated across heterogeneous environments.
