The document describes vContinuum, a software solution from InMage Scout that provides simplified backup and replication of VMware environments. It offers continuous data protection with no backup windows, near-zero RTO disaster recovery, and host-offloading for low I/O impact. The solution protects virtual and physical environments using a wizard-based interface and achieves application consistency through vendor APIs.
