Agenda
COLLABORATION
Instant and simultaneous data access over distance
Streamline workflows
Enable concurrent read/write access to data across
locations
MOBILITY
Active-active data centers
Disaster avoidance
Data center migration
Workload rebalancing
Cluster A Cluster B
Move and relocate VMs, applications, and data over
distance
AVAILABILITY
Zero RPO/RTO
Eliminate storage operations from failover
Federated AccessAnywhere
Maintain availability and non-stop access by mirroring across
locations

VPLEX Distributed Virtual Volume B
1. Physical volumes are virtualized
2. Virtual volumes are distributed across arrays
3. Hosts access virtual volumes which access both physical arrays simultaneously
4. Creating an Active-Active Environment
5. Active/Active allows you to stretch server clusters over distance

Production
• Dedicated resources for recovery
• Leverage recovery infrastructure for test/dev
• Production applications at both sites
• Each site acts as the recovery site for the other
• Many-to-one failover
• Useful for Remote Office / Branch Office

Agenda
Working with a partner
The design sessions:
• EMC, Cisco, VMware • Functional/technical design• Hardware/software sizing
Working with a partner
Solving WAN Connection question:
• Connectivity• Latency • Applications
