Disaster Recovery Solution

[DSRSAS]

Hello,

One of my client have an requirment to Have two Disaster recovery locations for his Virtual Datacenter. What he needs is.

1. To have a redundancy to his production virtual Datacenter withine to same building location , and

2. To have a remote disaster recovery site in the remote location.

I tried to research on it, and found most of the pointers to SRM, but really not able build a proper plan for the same.

If anyone knows about it, pls let me know.

Regards

DSRSAS

The SRM is indicated in this case, sure. Maybe what you will need is some clarification on how it works... I guess no explanation given here would be better that to talk to a virtualization specialist regarding this.

I didn't understood well what your customer mean by "redundancy"... maybe a high availability solution? If this is the case, you will most likely need:

1. SAN replication between both sites (you will need to check this in SAN level)

2. Both sites will need, if not the same, a very similar virtual infrastructure (servers, network, SAN, etc).

SRM does the control of the replication and the full disaster recover for you - including simulations to check if all is working properly.

Hope this helps.

Remember that SRM require a storage replication at "low level" and with some storage could be and expensive option.

There are also other solutions like Double Take, Vizioncore vReplicator or Veeam Backup that can be also considered.
