vSphere Provides the Best Foundation for Disaster Recovery
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
Cost-Efficient Infrastructure
Reduced hardware requirements at recovery site
Use recovery hardware to run low-priority apps
Encapsulation
Consolidation

Error-prone
Quickly falls out of sync with apps and infrastructure changes
Simple recovery plan set up in minutes
Fewer steps means far less room for errors
Simple to keep in sync with changes

Planned Migrations For App Consistency & No Data Loss
Overview
Benefits
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
Better support for planned migrations
No loss of data during migration process
Recover ‘application-consistent’ VMs at
recovery site

Thousands of Customers Already Rely on SRM
Introduced in Q2’ 2008 Over 1 Million VMs Protected
10,000+ customers
“If your organization is already taking advantage of virtualization,
then adding Site Recovery Manager to handle disaster recovery
is a no-brainer.”

Establish the Business Problem
IT focus should be on innovation, not Disaster Recovery
Do you have DR staff or expertise onsite?
Do you have the time or ability to design, implement, and test
recovery solutions that meet your business requirements?
Do you know your business requirements?
Do you know your cost of downtime?
![Page 23: VMworld 2013: DR to The Cloud with VMware Site Recovery Manager and Rackspace Disaster Recovery Planning Services](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546d51f5b4af9f6b2c8b5311/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Business Impact Analysis
You own the DR process.
How do you prioritize?
What exactly are you
protecting?
• Business Operations
• Revenue
• Data
• Customers
• All of the above
Do you know your
cost of downtime?

The Numbers
The average cost of data center downtime across industries:
approximately $5,600 per minute
For a partial data center outage, averaging 59 minutes in length,
average costs were approximately $258,000
For total data center outages, which had an average recovery time
of 134 minutes, average hourly costs were approximately $680,000
93% of companies that lost their data for 10 days or more filed for
bankruptcy within one year of the disaster, and 50% filed for
bankruptcy immediately

Rackspace Assists with Testing and Provides Reports
Rackspace includes failover test every three months to ensure you
meet your DR compliance requirements
• Companies don’t test their failover plan enough.
• Some replication services charge per test: expensive
• The failover/back process can be risky in production
• Risk dictates extensive planning around every test
We offer Recovery Time SLA based on failover test every
three months

Key Takeaways
VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager, in conjunction with
vSphere, enables simple and reliable DR at much lower cost as
compared to traditional DR
Site Recovery Manager is expanding options for single site
customers by working with Service Providers to build out SRM as a
Service offerings
DR is owned by the business but can be facilitated through
outsourced relationships. Know your cost of downtime, prioritize
your apps, then select the right tools and partners
