Multi-Site DR
Challenges
If you have a major outage, how
can you restore systems and
applications quickly, with minimal
data loss?
•
Traditional DR is expensive and
complex
•
You may not have a DR remote site
•
Trucking your tapes off-site is not
the answer
•
Need an affordable approach
Page 14
Solution Value
Make DR attainable for your
business
•
VMware vSphere and Site Recovery
Manager (SRM) simplify DR and
enable non-destructive testing of the
DR plan
•
Symantec ApplicationHA works with
SRM to restart applications
•
Consolidation savings can fund DR
project
•
Your trusted partner can help you
identify options for a DR site
Key Features of Virtualization for Disaster
Recovery
Encapsulation
• All information about a system is stored as data on disk
• Entire systems can be protected with Backup Exec
Hardware-Independence
• Reliably recover a virtual machine to any hardware
• Enable waterfalling of equipment to recovery site
Consolidation

Proven Customer Success
“We have trusted Backup Exec to backup our data for several years and the
transition from a physical server infrastructure to [VMware] infrastructure didn’t
change our choice in a data protection solution. Symantec’s V-Ray technology
embedded in Backup Exec allowed us to easily expand to a virtual environment and
feel confident in our decision. I’m confident, based on my testing, that Backup Exec
gives me the ability to recover both physical and virtual systems in case of a
catastrophe.”
— Jason Drake, Director of Infrastructure and Security, Premiere Global Sports.
