Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery

Traditional disaster recovery solutions are often costly and complex—and can’t meet your recovery objectives even after doubling hardware (and cost) for protected applications.

Testing them can be a nightmare because the steps are tedious and the documentation is hard to keep up to date. Likewise, keeping two sets of hardware in sync is nearly impossible. VMware vSphere lets you recover to any machine, not just specific duplicate hardware, reducing hardware costs and maintenance budget and lowering the complexity of maintaining a backup site. Even if you haven’t virtualised all production servers, virtualise target servers for your data recovery to allow greater simplicity, reliability, and cost savings.

• Recover from disasters rapidly
• Ensure reliable disaster recovery
• Reduce the cost of disaster recovery
• Automate disaster recovery

Virtualisation products let you eliminate planned downtime, ensure data protection, deliver high availability and be better prepared for disaster recovery.

Benefits of Virtualising your datacentre

Effective Data protection, including non-disruptive automated backup and restore processes, with high availability through reduced planned and unplanned downtime and disaster recovery with hardware independent recovery.

Simplify backup and recovery of your data and systems with virtualisation. Easily recover important data within your recovery time objectives using your existing backup tools and methodologies. Benefit from a simpler data protection plan, encompassing all systems and applications and leveraging the benefits of a virtualised datacentre.

Eliminate Planned and Unplanned Downtime

Make sure your applications have the highest level of availability with built-in service-levels that are easier and more cost effective than traditional solutions. The live migration of virtual machines eliminates the need for planned downtime, allowing IT to perform maintenance on physical servers anytime, without user or service disruption. Take advantage of VMware vSphere’s Fault Tolerance feature, protecting against physical failures, including network card failures, storage path failures, and other hardware failures.

Build Reliable and Efficient Disaster Recovery Plans

Eliminate the cost and unpredictability of traditional disaster recovery solutions by taking advantage of the inherent flexibility of a 100% virtualised datacentre. Utilise this foundation to build highly effective disaster recovery plans and test your plan in a non-disruptive manner—eliminating the issue of failure due to hardware differences between the primary and backup datacentres.
