Great, but how do we test without

affecting Prod AD?

Optimizing Replication(Data Compression)

Plenty of bandwidth(initially)

Initial replication – raw feed

RAW replication feed overwhelmed network until

compression turned on

RaaS Console(in Virtual Center)

Rate of change = RPO

Optimizing Replication(Ephemeral Data)

Plenty of bandwidth(initially)

Nightly maintenance degrades RPO and Recovery Point options (due to burst of ephemeral data)

RPO Fluctuation

Nightly maintenance degrades RPO and Recovery Point options (due to burst of ephemeral data)

Initial seeding of new VMs,

creates bursts

Page 20: Architecting Recovery as a Service: DR Stories from the Trenches

@Bluelock | #BLRaaS | www.bluelock.com

Optimizing the SolutionExclude swap and temp disks from

replication to reduce maintenance burst

Private, Paygo, Flexible replication circuit eliminates

paying for in/out Internet bandwidth and only for high

bandwidth when needed

Burstable bandwith makes adding/seeding VMs to

protection simple without impacting RTO
