Solution Description
Challenge
Disaster avoidance and recovery are significant challenges for many organizations. Cost considerations, resource constraints, downtime, and complexity are key obstacles. As a result, many organizations still use trucks to move tape backup copies offsite for disaster recovery. These traditional methods are inefficient, costly, and unreliable.
Technology Solution
EMC Disaster Avoidance and Recovery solutions for VMware combine EMC and VMware technologies for disaster avoidance and high availability of your virtualized environment. With EMC VPLEX, organizations gain information mobility and access within, across, and between data centers. It delivers both local and distributed federation that enables you to increase protection and reduce unplanned application outages.
In worst-case scenarios in which catastrophic disaster is unavoidable, companies need a plan for disaster recovery. EMC RecoverPoint supports heterogeneous storage and server environments, providing bidirectional local and remote data replication across any distance. It uses continuous data protection technologies to provide consistent point-in-time recovery without impacting production environments.
In addition, you can enhance Disaster Avoidance and Recovery solutions for VMware if you use EMC Data Domain and EMC Avamar for backup. These disk-based backup systems enable organizations to eliminate tape for disaster recovery. Through leading data deduplication technologies, these systems reduce the amount of disk storage needed for backup by 10 to 30 times, making disk a cost-effective alternative to tape.
Moreover, integrations with VMware vCenter create further efficiencies, resulting in a reduction in VMware backup times by 90 percent and recovery speeds up to 30 times.
