Failure to meet business requirements

• Long RTOs – days to weeks

• Too much time and resources consumed

vSphere Provides The Best Foundation For Disaster Recovery

Flexible Infrastructure

• Eliminate need for identical hardware across sites

• Enable waterfalling of equipment to recovery site

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

Cost-Efficient Infrastructure

• Reduced hardware requirements at recovery site

• Use recovery hardware to run low-priority apps

Storage Array Based Replication

• Storage Replication Adapters (SRAs):• Discover arrays

• Determine which LUNs are replicated

• Assist in initiating tests, recovery

• Other SRA capabilities

– Reprotect

– Synchronization

– Planned Migration

• SRM Compatibility Matrix:

Protect Individual Virtual Machines with vSphere Replication

Only true Hypervisor-based replication for vSphere

Asynchronous RPOs (15 min to 24 hrs)

Managed directly from vCenter Server

Reduce replication software costs

Reduce storage costs using heterogeneous arrays

Relevant SRM Terminology

Protection Group

A protection group:

– Is a group of virtual machines that fail over together to the recovery site

– Contains virtual machines whose data has been replicated by array-based replication or by VR

– Typically contains virtual machines that are related in some way:

• A three-tier application (application server, database server, Web server)

• Virtual machines whose virtual machine disk files are part of the same datastore group

LUN LUN

VR Protection Groups

Storage can be any of the following:

– Direct attached

– NFS

– iSCSI

– Fibre Channel
