Defining Disaster



bution

Key Terms and Definitions

• Business Continuity – How does business continue in the event of a disaster. If our data center was flooded how would be continue to conduct business?

• Disaster Recovery – Is a subset of Business Continuity. If we lose an IT Service or Resource how do we recover it?

• Planned Downtime

– vMotion, Storage vMotion

– Example: Maintenance Window

• Unplanned Downtime

– vSphere FT, vSphere HA, vSphere Application HA

– Example: Server Failure

• Data Protection

– RAID

– Clustering

– Backups

– Replication




bution

Types of Disasters

• Natural Disasters

– Hurricane, Tornado, Earthquake, Flood, Blizzard

• Man-made Disasters

– Physical Hardware Failure

• Server, Hard Disk, Power Supply, DIMM

– IT Bug

– Virus/Malware

– System Change – Configuration Mistakes. Delete the wrong VM?

– Power Outage




bution

Planning for Disaster



bution

Why is Disaster Recovery so Challenging?

• Can be expensive – Duplicate Resources

• Requires identical hardware/software across multiple locations

• Hardware Lifecycle may be short (3 to 5 years)

• Coordinating the effort of multiple teams (Compute, Storage, Network)

• Recovery can be time consuming

• Requires Preparation

• Skills required for software and/or hardware installation




bution

Ask Questions

• What does Disaster Recovery mean to you?

• How do you see a Disaster Recovery scenario playing out?

• What are your requirements for Recovery? In order to restore application XYZ, we need….

• Do you have an application recovery plan and a defined RPO/RTO

• What are your critical business applications?

• Is your cv/resume ready?




bution

Disaster Recovery Strategies

• Data Protection

– Local Backup

– Offsite Backup

• Ship tapes to another location

• Cloud-based Backup

• Data Replication

• Synchronous

• Asynchronous

• Hybrid Cloud




bution

Are You Prepared?

• It wasn’t raining when Steve Carrell built the Ark in the movie Evan Almighty!

• When do most people start to prepare for a Disaster?

• Audience Survey….

• How many audience members have a comprehensive plan for a Disaster now?

• How many audience members are currently developing a comprehensive plan and are here at VMworld to learn more about your options?

• How many audience members fly by the seat of your pants and will worry about it later?

Cloud Foundation Benefits for Disaster Recovery

• Architected to avoid disaster

– Hardware Redundancy

– Redundant Power and Networking

– Automated Workflows remove human configuration errors

– Patches and Upgrades tested by VMware

• Provides a consistent Disaster Recovery Platform

– Every disaster recovery solution needs Infrastructure (Compute, Storage, Networking)

– Most disaster recovery solutions are appliance-based, and are installed on top of an existing VMware environment.

– Source and Destination sites need to be configured similarly, the automated Workload Domain workflows ensure consistency

– Choose your own Disaster Recovery software.

• Accelerates Disaster Recovery

– Deploy a rack in just a few hours and provision a Workload Domain in just a few minutes.




bution

Cloud Foundation Benefits for Disaster Recovery

• Lifecycle Management

– Common mistake with Disaster Recovery implementations is neglecting to keep software up-to-date

– VMware Cloud Foundation makes it easy to add new or retire old hardware

• Hyper-converged Solution

– VMware Cloud Foundation includes vSphere, vSAN, and NSX – key infrastructure components required to recover from a disaster.

• Potential Cost Savings

– Workload Domains can be quickly repurposed, or can be used temporarily for disaster recovery testing.

• Hybrid Cloud

– If your goal is to recover an environment quickly, wouldn’t it be great if the Cloud Provider was also running the same software?

• No special Training Required

– Create a VDI Workload Domain without being an expert on Horizon 7

Benefits of Workload Domains for Disaster Recovery

• In the event of a disaster you need to recovery quickly, there is no room for mistakes!

• Rapid Provisioning – Workload Domains can be created in as little as 30 minutes!

• Let automation to the heavy lifting, leave your Best Practices documentation in your desk drawer. Workload Domains automate the deployment of a standardized VMware Validated Design.

• Expand on-demand – Workload Domains can be expanded quickly if you end up using your Disaster Recovery for a little longer than you had initially planned.

• Deletion – Workload Domains can be repurposed when Disaster strikes.

• Special Purpose VDI Workload Domain can be used to provide users with a Horizon 7 Desktop in the event of a disaster.

• Lifecycle Management – Automate patching and upgrades, retire old hardware or add new hardware




bution

Cloud Foundation – Workload Domains (WLD)

• Three types:

– Management – Ready to go after Initial Bring-up!

– Virtual Infrastructure – This is your target for Disaster Recovery.

– Virtual Desktop Infrastructure – In the event of a disaster your employees may no longer have desktops!

• Workload Domains can exist in a single rack, or can span across multiple racks.

• Virtual Infrastructure (VI) :

– Cluster of ESXi Hosts

– Common vSAN Datastore and vDS

– Dedicated vCenter & NSX Manager

• Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI):

– VI + Horizon 7 Deployment

• User specifies capacity, performance and availability parameters.

• SDDC Manager automates deployment

– Customers continue to use tools such as vSphere Web Client and Horizon View Administrator to manage the environment after provisioning.

• Ability to create, expand, and delete

Automated Patch and Upgrade

• Often overlooked aspect of Disaster Recovery is keeping your environment current.

• Most Disaster Recovery solutions require customers to use the same software across sites.

• Components: vSphere, vSAN, NSX and SDDC Manager

• Product updates first validated by VMware and distributed as update bundles

• Updates automatically picked-up by SDDC Manager

• Workload Domains updated independently
