Today, virtual servers can migrate and fail over between data centers, but it requires at least a short disruption to the application to restart the virtual machine. Live data migration between data centers over distance could be a boon for disaster recovery purposes but it could be a while before it becomes a reality. 

A disaster recovery plan represents an organization's detailed roadmap of where to go, what to do and when to do it in the event of a disaster. Understanding what does the business need, and is it capable of addressing this need with regard to both capabilities and cost is essential in the overall planning stages. 

This white paper will provide a review of the core causes and costs of both planned and unplanned downtime and will then provide a detailed discussion of current options for High Availability and Disaster Recovery solutions. 

In this session, we will review the latest advancements in protecting against disaster in virtual environments and highlight real-world customer experiences. 

Today's data centers are in the midst of a revolution originating from the move to virtual server architectures powered by solutions such as VMware. Based on Datalink's experience protecting enterprise data centers, this white paper provides practical advice and considerations surrounding backup and recovery of virtual server infrastructures. 

In these articles, Network World and its sister publications CIO, Computerworld, CSO and InfoWorld lay down the groundwork and explore the latest tips and technologies for no-fail corporate data backup and disaster recovery. 

Coupling NetApp’s SnapMirror and SnapVault technology with Syncsort’s BEX software has created an integrated disk-based solution for data protection and disaster recovery of mission-critical digital assets.
