Unified Data Protection

Back Up Named Platforms. Replicate Between Them.

Platform-aware protection for VMware, Nutanix AHV, CloudStack, OSSEA and Azure, with an agent-based path for supported physical Windows servers.

Sendense joins backup, live replication, platform conversion and recovery into one operating model, so protection does not fracture when workloads move.

Protect The Platforms Already In Your Estate.

Each named virtual platform uses its qualified data path. Supported physical Windows servers use the enrolled Windows agent without implying support for their underlying hypervisor.

Native API Integration

Protect VMware workloads through the platform path, then recover or move them into Nutanix AHV, CloudStack, OSSEA or Azure.

Use qualified native or host-assisted changed-block paths where available and CloudStack-aware full-source-read paths elsewhere, with EBA repository governance.

Direct Prism Element

Protect Nutanix AHV workloads and use AHV as a source or target with VMware, CloudStack, OSSEA and Azure. Sendense does not use or require Prism Central, and the same EBA and recovery proof benefits apply.

Source-Aware Coverage

Protect Physical Windows Servers Without A Second Toolset.

The Sendense Windows agent protects supported physical Windows servers and their configured NTFS volumes through the same governed backup service.

Windows recovery points use the same EBA repository and validation workflow, with a code-backed P2V path into CloudStack. The host platform itself is not presented as supported.

Windows: VSS + App-Aware

VSS snapshots and NTFS change tracking for supported physical Windows servers.

Windows Agent Path

The enrolled Windows agent exposes configured NTFS volumes through the site's SNA.

Path-Aware Capture

Named virtual platforms retain their qualified native, host-assisted or full-source-read path.

P2V Built In

Recover a supported physical Windows backup as a VM on CloudStack.

Backup, Replication, Recovery

One Recovery Model, Not A Stack Of Point Tools.

The same platform path handles source capture, repository storage, live replication, file recovery, application recovery and platform conversion.

Replication Becomes A Recovery Workflow

Keep controller VMs ready at the DR site so failover is activation, not a full restore project.

One Protection Model Across Platforms

Native backup paths and source-aware capture feed the same repository, validation and restore operating model.

Recovery Starts Before Full Restore

Mount backups, browse files, recover application items and start VMs without rebuilding everything first.

Live Replication

Replicate Across Platforms. Restore Across Platforms.

This is not just backup copy. Nutanix AHV can be the source or target with VMware, CloudStack, OSSEA and Azure, while Sendense keeps recovery targets ready and lets operators restore to the selected supported platform.

File-Level Recovery

Mount any backup, browse files and recover what users need without running a full VM restore.

Application-Aware Recovery

Recover SQL Server and Active Directory from application-consistent backups, with file recovery for the surrounding workload.

Instant VM Recovery

Boot VMs directly from backup storage for immediate access while full restore completes.

Protection Workflow

From Capture To Recovery Evidence.

Each protected workload enters the same operating loop: capture the right data, track changes, store efficiently, replicate, convert and recover.

01

Capture

Use the best source path: native API, storage-level integration or source-aware capture.

02

Track

Native change maps are used when the source exposes them; other paths scan and read the source safely.

03

Store

Recovery points land in the Sendense repository path with EBA efficiency and governance.

04

Replicate

Hot standby targets stay close enough for operational failover targets.

05

Convert

Drivers and boot behavior are prepared when the target platform differs.

06

Recover

Operators restore files, applications, VMs or whole services from the same evidence-backed path.

Backup Replication FAQs

FAQs for Backup and Replication.

Short answers about platform support, cross-platform replication, physical server backup and recovery workflows.

01What Platforms Can Sendense Back Up?

Sendense protects VMware, Nutanix AHV, CloudStack, OSSEA, Azure and supported physical Windows servers. Nutanix AHV is a full production platform with direct Prism Element integration and the same EBA and recovery proof benefits as VMware and CloudStack.

02Can Sendense Replicate Between Different Platforms?

Yes. Nutanix AHV can be the source or target for replication and recovery to and from VMware, CloudStack, OSSEA and Azure. Physical Windows recovery uses its separate agent-based backup and CloudStack P2V path.

03Does Nutanix AHV Support Require Prism Central?

No. Sendense integrates directly with Prism Element by design and does not use or require Prism Central. Nutanix AHV receives the same full backup, bidirectional replication, EBA repository and recovery proof benefits as VMware and CloudStack.

04How Does Sendense Support Hot Standby Failover?

Sendense keeps selected destinations synchronized and supports planned, test and emergency activation workflows. Achievable RPO and failover time depend on policy, connectivity, workload behavior and target readiness.

05Does Sendense Support Physical Server Backup?

Yes. Sendense supports physical Windows servers through an enrolled Windows agent, with VSS-aware backup and P2V recovery to CloudStack.

06Can Sendense Restore Individual Files Or Applications?

Yes. Sendense supports file-level recovery, application-aware recovery and instant VM recovery so operators do not always need to run a full restore first.
