vSphere Provides The Best Foundation For Disaster Recovery

Flexible Infrastructure

Eliminate need for identical hardware acrosssites

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 dataprotection tools

Cost-Efficient Infrastructure

Reduced hardware requirements at recovery site

Use recovery hardware to run low-priority apps

Encapsulation

Automated DR failover and non-disruptive testing

Simple management of recovery

and migration plans

SRM Simplifies Setup and Management of Recovery Plans

Weeks or months to set up Error-prone

Quickly falls out of sync with appsand infrastructure changes

Simple recovery plan set up in minutes Fewer steps means far less room for errors

Simple to keep in sync with changes

Simplify failback process

Automate replication management

Eliminate need to set up new recovery plan

Streamline frequent bi-directional migarations

Automated Failback To Streamline Bi-Directional Migrations

Re-protect VMs from Site B to Site A Reverse replication

Apply reverse resource mapping

Automate failover from Site B to Site A

Reverse original recovery plan

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 applicationconsistency 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 atrecovery site

Planned Migration

Site BSite A

Replication

1 Shut downproduction VMs

2Sync data, stop replication

and present LUNs to vSphere

3 Recover app-consistent VMs

SRM Is Mature and Reliable

Introduced in Q2 2008

> 7,000 customersOver 1 Million VMs protected

Ifyour organization is already taking advantage of virtualization,

then adding Site Recovery Manager to handle disaster recoveryis a no-brainer.

VMware vSphere

vCenter ServerSite

RecoveryManager

Virtual Machines

Site Recovery Manager

Manages recovery plans

Automates failovers and failbacks

Tightly integrated with vCenter and replication

Storage-Based Replication (3rd party)

Provided by replication vendor

Integrated via replication adapters created,certified and supported by replication vendor

vSphere Replication

Part of vSphere platform Replicates virtual machines between

vSphere clusters

Choice of replication options

Required at both protectedand recovery sites

vSphere Replication Part of the Platform

Virtual machines canbe replicated

irrespective ofunderlying storage

type

Enables replicationbetween

heterogeneousdatastores

Replication ismanaged as a

property of a virtualmachine

Efficient replicationminimizes impacton VM workloads

SRM can use either the integrated software replication or storage based replication

vSphere Replication UI

Select VMs toreplicate from

within the vSphereclient by right-click options

Can configure foran individual VM,or multiple VMs

simultaneously!
