Bomgar B300v Virtual Appliance
Oct 7th, 2008 | By Justin Brock | Category: Product InformationToday we announced the release of a new Bomgar Box – The B300v Virtual Appliance. The B300v is a virtual appliance version of the physical B300. As such, you’ll find that many of the remote desktop control features are the same when you compare the Boxes. The primary distinctions between the two appliances are those differences inherent in the deployment model: capacity and redundancy.
Capacity: While the physical B300 can handle up to 300 concurrent support reps, capacity for the virtual appliance is determined by your Virtual Infrastructure.
Redundancy: The same is true for ensuring a redundant environment. The physical appliance offers the following for redundancy:
- Dual processors
- Dual power supplies
- RAID 5 - three hard drives and one hot spare
- Hard drive failure notification
- Secondary B300 failover configuration
On the other hand, you can leverage your current virtual infrastructure to configure the virtual appliance for high availability.
Organizations with virtual initiatives already under way will find in the B300v a way to deploy Bomgar in their environment without adding another box.
Using VMware ESX, deploy the B300v™ as any other virtual appliance into your environment. Once installed, administrators have all the options a physical Bomgar B300™ provides for setting up security providers, ticketing integration, and virtual support teams.
Discussion starter: How do you visually represent a virtual appliance?
We’ve had numerous discussions here at Bomgar around how best to visualize the B300v Virtual Appliance. What we’ve narrowed it down to is a minimalistic line drawing of the physical B300.
What do you think? Is this the best solution? I’d like to get our readers’ feedback on our image for the B300v.
