vCenter Site Recovery Manager 4, 1 CPU
VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager
VMware Site Recovery Manager is a pioneering disaster recovery management and automation solution for VMware vSphere™ 4. Site Recovery Manager accelerates recovery by automating the recovery process and simplifies management of disaster recovery plans by making disaster recovery an integrated element of managing your VMware® virtual infrastructure. Site Recovery Manager also ensures reliable recovery by eliminating complex manual recovery steps and enabling non-disruptive testing of recovery plans.
Site Recovery Manager integrates tightly with VMware vSphere, VMware vCenter Server and storage replication from leading storage vendors to make failover and recovery rapid, reliable, affordable and manageable. It enables organizations to take the risk and worry out of disaster recovery, as well as expand protection to all of their important systems and applications.
Build, Manage and Execute Reliable Disaster Recovery Plans
As an integrated element of VMware vSphere, VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager helps you:
- Accelerate recovery for the virtual environment through automation;
- Ensure reliable recovery by enabling non-disruptive testing;
- Simplify recovery by eliminating complex manual recovery steps and centralizing management of recovery plans.
Accelerate Recovery
Ensure that you are able to meet your recovery time objectives (RTOs) by automating the recovery process. VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager eliminates the slow manual steps of recovery, turning the complex paper runbooks associated with traditional disaster recovery into an integrated part of your virtual infrastructure management.
Ensure Reliable Recovery
Eliminate common causes of failure during recovery and make it possible to test your recovery plans thoroughly and easily. By automating recovery, VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager eliminates error-prone manual steps in the recovery process and ensures that recovery procedures will be consistently executed as intended. VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager also makes it easy to execute non-disruptive tests of recovery plans within an isolated testing environment so that you can ensure that they are up to date and will execute successfully.
Simplify Disaster Recovery
Simplify and centralize the process of creating, updating and managing recovery plans. VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager guides users through the process of building, managing and executing disaster recovery plans. It integrates seamlessly with VMware Infrastructure and VMware vCenter Server to make recovery plans significantly easier to manage and update. It also integrates easily with storage replication software from leading storage vendors to simplify the use of advanced replication software with VMware vSphere.
Features:
VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager delivers advanced capabilities for disaster recovery management, non-disruptive testing and automated failover. VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager can manage failover from production datacenters to disaster recovery sites, as well as failover between two sites with active workloads. Multiple sites can even recover into a single shared recovery site. Site Recovery Manager can also help with planned datacenter failovers such as datacenter migrations.
Disaster Recovery Management:
- Create and manage recovery plans directly from VMware vCenter Server;
- Discover and display virtual machines protected by storage replication using integrations certified by storage vendors;
- Extend recovery plans with custom scripts;
- Monitor availability of remote site and alert users of possible site failures;
- Store, view and export results of test and failover execution from VMware vCenter Server;
- Control access to recovery plans with granular role-based access controls;
- Leverage iSCSI, FibreChannel, or NFS-based storage replication solutions;
- Recover multiple sites into a single shared recovery site;
- Take advantage of the latest features and technologies included in VMware vSphere.
Non-Disruptive Testing:
- Use storage snapshot capabilities to perform recovery tests without losing replicated data;
- Connect virtual machines to an existing isolated network for testing purposes;
- Automate execution of tests of recovery plans;
- Customize execution of recovery plans for testing scenarios;
- Automate cleanup of testing environments after completing tests.
Automated Failover:
- Initiate recovery plan execution from VMware vCenter Server with a single button;
- Automate promotion of replicated datastores for recovery using adapters created by leading storage vendors for their replication platforms;
- Execute user-defined scripts and pauses during recovery;
- Reconfigure virtual machines’ IP addresses to match network configuration at failover site;
- Manage and monitor execution of recovery plans within VMware vCenter Server.
