Host-level Replication and Fail-over Testing for Critical Virtual Machines

Hardware failure is a fact of life and often costs companies time and money.  In the event of a failure, replication of entire LUNs creates many problems, such as heavy network traffic, additional hardware requirements and other costly maintenance items involved with hardware-level replication.

Selective Replication of Virtual Machines is the Answer

vReplicator is the leading replication solution for VMware Virtual Infrastructure.  vReplicator is installed to a centralized server, and does not need to be installed on either the source or target virtual machines, eliminating licensing costs, management and maintenance involved with agent-based solutions.  With vReplicator, the entire virtual machine is replicated, including configuration settings, patches to the OS, and the applications themselves, as well as the data and all other OS-level changes.  Being able to replicate an entire virtual machine in real-time allows the applications to have the data and all the underlying OS configurations in the event of a failure.  Selectively replicating virtual machines from a LUN reduces the cost of replication and opens the door to replicating Tier 2 and Tier 3 applications as well.

Features and Benefits:

  • Replicates entire image of virtual machine, including OS, configuration settings and data volumes for VI3
  • Enables ability to select individual critical virtual machines
  • Reduces costs and maintenance of destination virtual machines with closed target VMs and supports replication to dissimilar hardware
  • Resynchronizes automatically on fractured replication jobs
  • Replicates over the LAN or WAN without dependency on the SAN
  • Offers easy-to-use centralized Windows®-based GUI with VirtualCenter integration and Job Wizards for ease of use
  • Works with VMotion and DRS
  • Provides GUI-assisted fail-over testing
  • Focuses on stability and scalability of replication job management
