Virtualization refresh • Hardware virtualization or
platform virtualization refers to the creation of a virtual machine that acts like a real computer with an operating system.
• Virtualization creates the ability to take physical servers and condense them to run multiple instances of servers on one physical server.

Optimizing replication (Data compression)
Plenty of bandwidth (initially)
Initial replication – raw feed
RAW replication feed overwhelmed network until
compression turned on
@Bluelock | #BLRaaS | www.bluelock.com
RPO Fluctuation
Nightly maintenance degrades RPO and Recovery Point options (due to burst of ephemeral data)
Initial seeding of new VMs,
creates bursts

Optimizing replication (Ephemeral data)
Plenty of bandwidth (initially)
Nightly maintenance degrades RPO and Recovery Point options (due to burst of ephemeral data)
@Bluelock | #BLRaaS | www.bluelock.com
Optimizing the solution Exclude 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

Taking the Next Step
Where you are now
• DR isn’t a priority • DR is too expensive • Connecting to the cloud is
complex • Cloud is too risky
• Not in our skill set to plan
and manage DR
Your Next Step
• Start the conversation • Get a quote for one app • Try it
• For DR, evaluate if this is true anymore, or old thinking.
• If you see the value, a cloud service provider can get you there.
