Advanced data protection and disaster recovery for VMware 2/5

admin — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 21:31:21 +0000

Today’s businesses are embracing VMware virtualization technology to enhance the efficiency of their IT operations. While virtualization brings numerous significant benefits, it also creates unique challenges with regards to data backup, protection, and recovery. Traditional application-based backup falters when faced with five or ten virtualized servers on a single physical machine. Backup mechanisms such as VMware Consolidated Backup are a step in the right direction, but are still limited in terms of performance and recovery.

FalconStor Product Marketing Manager, Peter Eicher, discusses virtualization backup challenges and introduces you to a full set of tools from FalconStor built specifically to protect and recover data in VMware environments. This session will cover:

* Limitations of current VMware backup models

* Intelligent iSCSI or Fibre Channel (FC)-based virtualization for heterogeneous storage
* Enhancing VMware backup with host-free snapshot technology
* Achieving 100% data integrity of application-aware backup images
* Accelerating VMware Consolidated Backup
* Site Recovery Manager integration for WAN-optimized disaster recovery (DR)

VMware and Disaster Recovery at Bowdoin College

admin — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 04:35:16 +0000

Bowdoin College is using VMware Infrastructure 3 for enhanced manageability and business continuity for their IT services.

Partnering with Loyola Marymount University in California, Bowdoin has architected an innovative disaster recovery process leveraging the power of virtualization, to allow Bowdoin and Loyola to maintain copies of their virtual infrastructure at each other’s datacenter, in the case of the emergency.

This allows the colleges to enjoy the security benefits of having a strong disaster recovery plan, without the extraordinary cost of maintaining a warm disaster recovery site.

From Paris to London — Simplifying Disaster Recovery Demo

admin — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:54:26 +0000

Will Urban, Product Marketing Consultant, and the Dell EqualLogic team conduct a disaster recovery demo at the Dell booth at VMworld Europe.

For demonstration purposes the two Dell stands on the exhibition floor represented London and Paris offices and the demo goes through the simple a step-by-step process of testing your disaster recovery strategy before you need it. I particularly like the way Will describes an ideal disaster recovery conversation with a CIO and how Site Recovery Manager (SRM) can help you to simply demonstrate that your disaster recovery and business continuity plan is sound, prior to any crisis and without disrupting normal service.
