Protection and Recovery Considerations:

• Backup: client or off-host

• Storage: direct-attached or SAN/NAS

• Protection: data or VM + data

• Location: static or “mobile” VMs

• Recovery: VM, files, application, all

• DR: local or remote recovery

• Vaulting: replication or tape shipping

2NetBackup instructs VMware to snapshot the virtual machine

3The new VMDK snapshot is mounted to the NetBackup Server via the proxy driver

4Backup is then performed to any NetBackup storage device (disk, tape, PureDisk)

5The VMDK snapshot is deleted

Press Release: HA/DR for vCenter

Symantec Delivers High Availability and Disaster Recovery Solutions for VMware EnvironmentsVeritas Cluster Server integration with VMware vCenter and cooperative support initiative provide customers with comprehensive application availability

CUPERTINO, Calif. – Dec. 9, 2008 – Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced collaboration with VMware to deliver enhanced high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) solutions for VMware environments. The initiative includes: cooperative support through the Technical Support Alliance Network (TSANet) for mutual customers leveraging Symantec’s Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) for VMware ESX in VMware environments; integration between VCS and VMware Infrastructure to deliver complementary HA/DR solutions; and enhancements to VCS that enable HA/DR for VMware vCenter.

“VMware is pleased to see Symantec deliver solutions like VCS for high availability that integrate with and complement the value of VMware virtualization for customers and reinforce the importance of a strong partner ecosystem that helps differentiate VMware virtualization,” said Shekar Ayyar, vice president of infrastructure alliances at VMware. “We look forward to continued collaboration with Symantec to enable support for VCS for VMware users and improve the experience for joint customers through initiatives such as the TSANet-based cooperative support agreement announced today.”
