Business Continuity Solution Overview

Drivers for Business Continuity How virtualization improves your business

Reduce DowntimeBusinesses require speed and reliability to recover down systems

Traditional disaster recovery is slow and complexIncreased business pressure on IT for availability

Reduce CostsBusiness continuity becomes increasingly expensive as availability requirements increase

Duplicate data center infrastructures result in underutilized serversSignificant personnel resources required

Simplify ManagementTraditional business continuity solutions are complex to implement, manage, and execute

Traditional disaster recovery requires identical hardware configurations Difficult to test multi-tier applications

Keeping the Business Running

Disaster RecoverySite-level crisis, and data and IT operations resumption

Backup and RecoveryPresumes infrastructure is whole

97% is file/small unit related

High AvailabilityPresumes that the rest of the

environment is active

Business ContinuityResumption of full operations combining people, processes, and platforms

Business Continuity with Virtualization Defined

Adding virtualization to your business continuity plan will reduce costs and minimize business downtime by: Increasing the availability of server infrastructure Inexpensively extending protection to more applications Minimizing time and resources needed to support

infrastructure

Specify the number of node failures to sustain while keeping all high availability virtual machines (VM) running

Intelligent Placement ensures that new high availability VMs will not over commit the cluster

Node failures automatically trigger over commit recalculation

Differences between Single-site and Multi-site Clusters

Two node single-site cluster

SAN

VMs move between nodes on the same SAN and

share common storage

Storage Array

Common physical location Common shared storage

infrastructure (SAN) presents a shared disk visible to all nodes

Multi-site clusters have different independent storage arrays in each site

Geographically distributed clusters are extended to different physical locations

Stretch clustering uses the same concept as local site clustering

VMware® Site Recovery Manager (SRM)

What SRM Is

SRM 1.0 was released as plug-in for vCenter in June 2008

Helps simplify and automate disaster recovery plans

Supports testing of disaster recovery plans Allows vCenter users to initiate automated

failover plans Licensed per CPU socket on the ESX server

hosting the protected VMs in the “protected site”

What SRM Is Not

Does not provide high availability or stretch clustering services

SAN replication remains a function of the array provider or third party software provider and must be pre-configured

Only supports storage vendors who write Storage Replication Adapters (SRA)

Does not easily support automated failback

34

Pre-configured SAN array or third party SAN replication

VMware® ESX

VMware® Vcenter and SRM Module

VMware® ESX

vCenter and the Site Recovery Manager Server add-in are required at both “protected” and “recovery” sites

Custom Storage Replication Adapters are required from each storage partner for: array discovery, LUN discovery, test initiation, and failover

SAN replication still requires array specific or third party software – SRM does not provide SAN replication

Site Recovery Manager Failover

Failover to “recovery” site is initiated by IT administration

Solution can be automated based on vendor storage replication adapters (SRAs)

Data-store meta-data, VM configuration files are backed-up at the recovery site and ready for implementation

At failure, SRA connects with vendor management interface and write enables the mirrored data

vCenter at the disaster recovery site scans the data-stores and activates the protected VMs
