  • 3rd Party Integrations

Automate Data Disaster Recovery

vCenter Site Recovery Manager is the market-leading disaster recovery management product that ensures the simplest and most reliable disaster protection for all virtualized applications, leveraging both cost-efficient vSphere Replication and high-performance storage replication products. Site Recovery Manager provides a simple interface to set up recovery plans that are coordinated across all infrastructure layers, replacing traditional error-prone runbooks.  Recovery plans can be tested non-disruptively as frequently as required to ensure they meet business objectives.  At the time of a site failover or migration, Site Recovery Manager automates both failover and failback processes, ensuring fast and highly predictable RPOs and RTOs.

" With VMware virtualization we know we can switch our business over to our backup datacenter anytime—and be up and running within a few hourse. And it costs a fraction of what we paid for the third-party disaster recovery service we used before."

— Tim Moudry, Associate Director of IT, Myron Steves

Simplify and automate key elements of setting up, testing and executing recovery plans with VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager.

  • Setup Recovery Infrastructure. VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager guides users through the process with detailed maps of production resources, including computing and network resources.
  • Create Recover Plans. VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager provides an intuitive interface to help users create recovery plans for different failover scenarios and different parts of their infrastructure. Users can specify virtual machines to be suspended or shut down to free resources for recovery. They can also specify the order in which virtual machines are powered on, set user-defined scripts to execute automatically, and determine where to pause the recovery process if necessary.
  • Test Recovery Plans. VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager automates the creation of a non-disruptive and isolated testing environment on the recovery site by leveraging the snapshot capabilities of storage arrays and connecting virtual machines to the user’s isolated testing network. It automates the execution of the recovery plan to be used in an actual failover and cleans up the testing environment once testing is complete. Test results are saved for viewing and export at any time.
  • Automate Failover and Failback. Once an administrator initiates a recovery plan from VMware vCenter Server, VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager automates execution of the steps in the recovery plan to ensure that recovery is executed exactly as designed. Administrators have full visibility into execution.
  • Recover to the Cloud Services. Implement disaster recovery planning without a failover site by using your choice of cloud service providers. Test, automate, and run recovery plans without having to build or expand a failover site.

No other virtualization platform vendors deliver on all five key elements. Learn how VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager can take the disaster out of data disaster recovery for your business.
