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
