Who’s got your virtual backup? Many CIOs continue to choose Vizioncore, which has become well-known for its VM backup tool, vRanger Pro. But Vizioncore tackles performance management as well. Vizioncore tools like vCharter, which examines what’s going on inside each VM, can provide a window into utilization and performance questions.
VizionCore offers several very popular management tools for virtualization. VRanger Pro offers a comprehensive backup and restore solution for virtual machines. You can find demos and screenshots here. VReplicator provides host level replication of entire virtual machines. VConverter is a P2V solution, and VOptimizer is a product for optimizing virtual hard disks sizes.

George was a SE Manager at Citrix when I was just starting out. He is a great resource to have and a very engaging person.
According to their website, Vizioncore started out a a consulting and software development company focused on Citrix products. Vizioncore has found a great deal of success as they have moved into the virtualization management space. Now that Citrix has become a major player in the virtualization space, I am looking forward to seeing Vizioncore come full circle and work closely with Citrix in this growing market.
