Overview:
As organizations increasingly adopt server virtualization, they have begun to leverage remote replication as a means of increasing system availability. This is a simpler, more cost-efficient alternative to using traditional physical servers for disaster recovery (DR). However, utilizing simple replication in a virtual server DR plan provides only "crash consistent" virtual disk images, which can affect the consistency of file systems or applications and ultimately create longer recovery cycles. In addition, managing and coordinating resources between sites can be complex and challenging. This document addresses these issues and discusses how technologies from FalconStor Software and VMware work together to enable organizations to overcome these limitations and deliver application-consistent replication for automated DR in a virtual environment.
