2. Site Recovery Manager (SRM)
Site Recovery Manager (SRM) is ESXi disaster recovery management tool, designed to simplify and automate the process of VMware disaster recovery. It integrates with VMware disaster recovery replication, allowing enterprises to easily create, test, and execute VMware SRM recovery plans.
3. VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery（DRaaS）
VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery is a cloud-based ESXi disaster recovery service that allows enterprises to backup their data and applications from their virtualized environments to the cloud, enabling quick recovery operations when necessary. Businesses can effortlessly implement disaster recovery in the cloud without the need to establish and maintain their own disaster recovery infrastructure.
Disaster recovery best practicesstrategies
Automatic Failover
Automatic failover refers to the automatic detection and transfer of workloads from affected hosts or data centers to standby devices in the event of system or hardware failures. This functionality ensures continuous business operation, minimizes downtime, and thus safeguards business continuity.
High Availability (HA)
High Availability involves continuously monitoring the status of virtual machines or hosts, promptly detecting failures, and taking actions such as automatic restarts or migration of affected virtual machines to ensure that business applications remain available during failures. HA functionality can swiftly respond to failure situations, reducing downtime, and enhancing the reliability and stability of the system.
Backup and Restore
Backup and restore involve regularly backing up critical data and applications, and being able to quickly recover from backups to ensure rapid restoration to a previous state in the event of a disaster, safeguarding data security.
Virtual Machine Migration
Virtual machine migration technology provides enterprises with flexibility and resource optimization possibilities. It allows virtual machines to be migrated from one physical host to another without affecting business continuity, enabling resource load balancing and fault recovery.
