Disasters Happen. Do You Need Protection?
43% of companies experiencing disasters never
re-open, and 29% close within two years.
(McGladrey and Pullen)
93% of businesses that lost their datacenter
for 10 days went bankrupt within one year.
(National Archives & Records Administration)
Top executives say 10 hours to recovery;
IT managers say up to 30 hours.
(Harris Interactive)

Cost-Efficient Infrastructure
• Reduced hardware requirements at recovery site
• Use recovery hardware to run low-priority apps
Flexible Infrastructure
• Eliminate need for identical hardware across
sites
• Enable waterfalling of equipment to recovery site
Simple Application Protection
• Entire system – including application, OS,
and data – is stored as virtual machine files
• Entire system can be protected with data
protection tools
vSphere Replication For Built-in, Simple Async Replication

What’s New In Site Recovery Manager 5.1?
Benefits
SRM-based DR To The Cloud
Services
Eliminate the need for a dedicated
failover site for disaster recovery
Application-consistent replication
and Automated Failback with
vSphere Replication
Increase automation and reliability
for site failovers and migration
Support for vSphere Essentials+
environments

Automated Failback To Streamline Bi-Directional Migrations
Automated Failback
Overview
Re-protect VMs from Site B to Site A
 Reverse replication
 Apply reverse resource mapping
Reverse original recovery plan

Automate failover from Site B to Site A
 Reverse original recovery plan
With SRM 5.1 Automated Failback is now
supported also with vSphere Replication
Benefits
Simplify failback process
 Automate replication management
 Eliminate need to set up new recovery plan
Streamline frequent bi-directional migrations
13
Planned Migrations For App Consistency & No Data Loss
Overview
Planned Migration
1 Shut down
production VMs
3 Recover appconsistent VMs
Site A
Site B
vSphere
vSphere
Two workflows can be applied to recovery plans:
 DR failover
 Planned migration
Planned migration ensures application
consistency and no data-loss during migration
 Graceful shutdown of production VMs in
application consistent state
 Data sync to complete replication of VMs
 Recover fully replicated VMs
Replication
2
Sync data, stop replication
and present LUNs to vSphere
Benefits
Better support for planned migrations
 No loss of data during migration process
 Recover ‘application-consistent’ VMs at
recovery site

expensive, forcing
customers to use

tools or to skip DR all
together
