Meet the Next Generation of Virtual Infrastructure Technology

VMware Site Recovery Manager is a pioneering product that uses virtualization to provide end-to-end disaster recovery management and automation across your entire data center.

Site Recovery Manager leverages VMware Infrastructure 3 to make disaster recovery rapid, reliable, affordable, and manageable by making it possible to build, automate and test disaster recovery plans for your datacenter. It integrates with VMware Infrastructure and VMware VirtualCenter to give you a seamless view of your environment that encompasses both virtual infrastructure and disaster recovery management.

Key Benefits of Site Recovery Manager

Accelerate Recovery with Automated Processes
Traditional disaster recovery solutions leave many organizations unable to meet recovery time and recovery point objectives due to reliance on slow and often manual recovery processes that are prone to errors and result in frequent failures. With VMware Site Recovery Manager, you can automate the steps of recovery to ensure that recovery processes are executed rapidly and reliably.

Ensure Reliable Recovery with Thorough Testing of Recovery Plans
Testing disaster recovery plans and ensuring that they can be carried out correctly are critical to ensuring reliable recovery. However, testing is difficult with traditional solutions due to the cost, complexity and overhead of recovery testing. Equally challenging is ensuring that recovery plans are executed correctly in the face of complex manual processes that need to be executed by specially trained staff.

Site Recovery Manager can help you overcome these obstacles by enabling realistic, frequent tests of recovery plans without the cost and complexity of traditional testing and by turning manual recovery steps into automated processes. With Site Recovery Manager you can perform automated and non-disruptive disaster recovery tests using the same recovery plan that will be used in a real failover scenario. Because the recovery process is automated, you can also ensure that the recovery plan will be carried out correctly in both testing and failover scenarios.

Take Control of Your Disaster Recovery Plans
Until now, keeping recovery plans documented and up-to-date has been practically impossible due to the complexity of plans and the dynamic environment in today's datacenters. Additionally, traditional solutions offer no central point of management for recovery plans and do not address the management challenge of managing and allocating the resources required for recovery.

In contrast, VMware Site Recovery Manager gives you the ability to simplify and centralize the creation and ongoing management of disaster recovery plans while eliminating the complexity of allocating and managing resources for recovery. What’s more, Site Recovery Manager is tighty integrated with VMware Infrastructure 3, enabling you to create, manage and update recovery plans from the same place as you manage your virtual infrastructure.
