These features are representative of feature areas under development.  Feature commitments must not be included in contracts, purchase orders, or sales agreements of any kind.  Technical feasibility and market demand will affect final delivery.

Disaster Recovery challenges

• Organizations face an urgent need for effective, efficient disaster recovery

• Traditional DR solutions are complex, expensive, slow and prone to failure

• Due to costs, DR plans are often limited in scope and do not protect all corporate IT assets

• Difficult to perform DR rehearsals, test plan verification

* Reported by Eagle Rock Alliance Ltd., “ONLINE SURVEY RESULTS 2001 COST OF DOWNTIME”

DR Challenges in Virtual Environments

• Physical server resources, disk and network I/O tend to be highly utilized– This is by design – Impacts backup processing

• Backing up active VMDK files leads to crash-consistent data (at best) or lost/corrupted data (at worst)

• Coordinating VM shutdown with snapshots and backups takes sophisticated scripting ability

• Relationships between physical disks and VMDK files requires careful coordination

What is VMware Site Recovery Manager?

• VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) is a new product for disaster recovery that does the following:– Simplifies and automates key disaster recovery workflows:

setup, testing, failover, failback

– Simplifies and centralizes management of recovery plans

• This combination of disaster recovery automation with the capabilities of VMware Infrastructure reduces time to recover, risk, complexity and cost

• However, SRM by itself does not address:– Application/transactional integrity

– WAN bandwidth utilization

– Flexibility in choosing a disk array vendor
