Introduction – VMware for Business Continuity

43% of companies experiencing disasters never re-open, and 29% close within two years.
(McGladrey and Pullen)
93% of business that lost their data center for 10 days went bankrupt within one year.
(National Archives & Records Administration)
Top executives say 10 hours to recovery;IT managers say up to 30 hours.
(Harris Interactive)
Disasters Happen. Do You Need Protection?

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

vCenter Site Recovery Manager Ensures Simple, Reliable DR
Provide cost-efficient replication• Built-in vSphere Replication• Broad support for storage-based replication
Simplify management of recovery and migration plans• Replace manual runbooks with centralized
recovery plans• From weeks to minutes to set up new plan
Automate failover and migration processes• Enable frequent non-disruptive testing• Ensure automated failover and migration• Automate failback processes
Site Recovery Manager Complements vSphere to provide the simplest and most reliable disaster protection and site migration for all applications

Simplify Replication Management With vSphere Replication
Overview
Benefits
vSphere Replication provides simple management of replication Managed directly from vCenter Managed at the individual VM-level
Eliminate complex interactions between vSphere and storage teams to set up replication
Eliminate need to shuffle VMs between datastores to map applications to replicated LUNs

Planned Migrations For App Consistency & No Data Loss
Overview
Benefits
Two workflows can be applied to recovery plans: DR failover Planned migration
Planned migration ensures application consistency and no data-loss during migration Graceful shutdown of production VMs in
application consistent state Data sync to complete replication of VMs Recover fully replicated VMs
Better support for planned migrations
No loss of data during migration process
Recover ‘application-consistent’ VMs at recovery site
Planned Migration

1 Shut down production VMs
2 Sync data, stop replication and present LUNs to vSphere
