of 2006”(TechTarget)DR Pain PointsLack of a reliable disaster recovery plan27-30%of business have no disaster recovery plan(VMworld,Imation)Inability to meet RTO and RPO needs with current planBusiness needs and/or regulatory needsNeed to improve RTO from days to minutes or hoursNeed to improve RPO from 24 hours to 1 hour or lessExpense related to hardware at remote siteIdle hardware at recovery site(capital cost)Need to maintain system and application images at secondary site(operational cost)Unable to instantly repurpose machines at the secondary site(RTO impact)Key Features of Virtualization for DREncapsulationAll information about a system is stored as data on diskEntire systems can be protected with data protection toolsHardware-IndependenceReliably recover a virtual machine to any hardwareEnable waterfalling of equipment to recovery siteResource PoolingTransparently share and allocate hardware resourcesAutomatic resource optimization20 GHz12 GHzPartitioning and

In Mississippi During Hurricane Katrina“Without VMware Infrastructure,it would have taken us weeks to recover our critical systems when Hurricane Katrina hit our datacenter.VMware Infrastructure enabled us to get our critical systems up and running within 24 hours.”“As a result of our experience during Hurricane Katrina,our disaster recovery plan is now based on using VMware Infrastructure everywhere we can.”“Our budget and resources go so much further with VMware infrastructure.Instead of only being able to protect a few of our critical applications,we will be able to provide disaster recovery across the board.”AgendaVMware 2008 Context For Site Recovery ManagerVMware And DR BackgroundVMware Site Recovery ManagerProduct ObjectivesProduct CapabilitiesUse CasesImplementation

Problems Even With VI3Automate DR failover?Propagate VCMS info to the DR site?Setup recoveryVM networking?Implement DR planchange control?Enable regular,non-disruptive testing?Manage VI3 and storage replication?Manage DR VM resources and QOS?Increase DR plan coverage?Improve recovery success rate?Satisfy compliance officers?Reduce time to recovery?Get assurance DR goals being met?SRM lowers the cost and difficulty of meeting DR business objectives Storage replication and VMware Infrastructure tied togetherDR protection becomes a property of a VMware VMCustomers can pre-program their disaster
