Fundamentals of (IT) Disaster Recovery

Disaster Recovery (SNIA Definition):

“The recovery of data, access to data and associated process through a comprehensive process of setting up redundant site (equipment and work space) with recovery of operational data to continue business operations after a loss of use of all or part of a data center”

Air – Disaster Recovery

vSphere Provides The Best Foundation For Disaster Recovery in the Cloud

Encapsulation: Simple Application Protection

• Entire system – including application, OS, and data – is stored as virtual machine files

• Entire system can be protected with data protection tools

Hardware-Independence: Flexible Infrastructure

• Eliminate the need for SAN or array-based replication

• Enable consistent recovery throughout data center lifecycle changes

Hybrid Aware: Seamless Integration with vCloud Air

• Reduced costs by leveraging the cloud for DR

• Scale your protection capacity to meet variable demand

13

Fully integrated with vSphere Web Client

Consistent management and operational best practices…

• Single interface and common management

• Designed to integrate with vCloud Air

• Doesn’t require “console hopping”

Disaster Recovery Considerations

Considerations for Failover

• Self-service failover driven by customer action

• Commensurate bandwidth to support data volume and change rate

• Cloud (“DR-VDC”) pre-configuration required to streamline failover operations and aide in faster recovery times – example settings below:

Infrastructure• Active Directory

• DNS

Networking• DHCP / IP

Re-addressing

• L4-L7 services

redirect

Storage• Resource

allocation

changes

Management• RBAC
