VMworld 2013: DR to The Cloud with VMware Site Recovery Manager and Rackspace Disaster Recovery Planning Services

•
•

VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) and Rackspace disaster recovery planning services provide a simple and reliable way to replicate virtual machines and applications to the cloud for disaster recovery. SRM automates replication and recovery, replacing complex manual runbooks. It supports options like vSphere Replication and storage-based replication. Rackspace offers SRM as a service with array-based replication and helps customers test recovery plans. Using these tools and services provides lower-cost disaster recovery than traditional approaches and ensures applications can be recovered reliably.

DR to The Cloud with VMware Site Recovery Manager and Rackspace Disaster Recovery Planning Services Paul Croteau, Rackspace Bryan Evans, VMware BCO5170 #BCO5170
22 Agenda  Simple and Reliable DR with vSphere and SRM • SRM Simplifies and Automates the traditional Runbook Model for DR  SRM as a Service • Thousands of Customers Already Rely on SRM • DR to The Cloud with SRM is offered by an expanding list of Service Providers  Rackspace® Replication Manager & the Managed Hosting Advantage • Identify and Understand the Problem • Plan Accordingly • Maintain Your Focus By Working With Partners
33 Simple and Reliable DR with vSphere and SRM
44 Challenges of Traditional Disaster Recovery Expensive Complex Recovery Plans ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Unreliable Failovers Apps Hosts Storage Network Software Hosts Storage Facilities >$10K per app Failure to meet business requirements  Long RTOs – days to weeks  Too much time and resources consumed
55 vSphere Provides the Best Foundation for Disaster Recovery Flexible Infrastructure  Eliminate need for identical hardware across sites  Enable waterfalling of equipment to recovery site Simple Application Protection  Entire system – including application, OS, and data – is stored as virtual machine files  Entire system can be protected with data protection tools Cost-Efficient Infrastructure  Reduced hardware requirements at recovery site  Use recovery hardware to run low-priority apps Encapsulation Consolidation Hardware Independence vSphere vSphere vSphere
66 Site Recovery Manager Complements vSphere for DR Traditional DR VMware Streamline planned migrations and automated failback Automated DR failover and non- disruptive testing Simple management of recovery and migration plans vSphere Replication Encapsulation for simple recovery of entire systems Hardware independence at failover site Consolidation to reduce costs vSphere SRM
77 SRM Simplifies Setup and Management of Recovery Plans  Weeks or months to set up  Error-prone  Quickly falls out of sync with apps and infrastructure changes  Simple recovery plan set up in minutes  Fewer steps means far less room for errors  Simple to keep in sync with changes …to Simple Recovery PlansFrom Complex Runbooks…

1212 Planned Migrations For App Consistency & No Data Loss Overview Benefits Two workflows can be applied to recovery plans:  DR failover  Planned migration Planned migration ensures application consistency and no data-loss during migration  Graceful shutdown of production VMs in application consistent state  Data sync to complete replication of VMs  Recover fully replicated VMs Better support for planned migrations  No loss of data during migration process  Recover ‘application-consistent’ VMs at recovery site Planned Migration Site BSite A Replication 1 Shut down production VMs 2 Sync data, stop replication and present LUNs to vSphere 3 Recover app- consistent VMs vSphere vSphere
1313 Automate DR Failover Processes Overview Benefits Automatically detect site failures  Require user to manually initiate failover Automate recovery process  Stop replication and present replicated LUNs to vSphere  Execute user-defined recovery plan Ensure fast and predictable failovers and migrations  Consistently meet business requirements Minimize risk of user errors Site BSite A Replication 1 Raise alert when heartbeat lost 2 User initiates failover 3 Stop replication and present LUNs to vSphere 4 Recover VMs DR Failover vSphere vSphere

1515 SRM as a Service
1616 Thousands of Customers Already Rely on SRM Introduced in Q2’ 2008 Over 1 Million VMs Protected 10,000+ customers “If your organization is already taking advantage of virtualization, then adding Site Recovery Manager to handle disaster recovery is a no-brainer.” ― Jerry Wilkin Senior Systems Administrator, Dayton Superior Corp

2222 Establish the Business Problem  IT focus should be on innovation, not Disaster Recovery  Do you have DR staff or expertise onsite?  Do you have the time or ability to design, implement, and test recovery solutions that meet your business requirements?  Do you know your business requirements?  Do you know your cost of downtime?
2323 Business Impact Analysis  You own the DR process.  How do you prioritize?  What exactly are you protecting? • Business Operations • Revenue • Data • Customers • All of the above  Do you know your cost of downtime? Multi-Layer Business View
2424 The Numbers  The average cost of data center downtime across industries: approximately $5,600 per minute  For a partial data center outage, averaging 59 minutes in length, average costs were approximately $258,000  For total data center outages, which had an average recovery time of 134 minutes, average hourly costs were approximately $680,000  93% of companies that lost their data for 10 days or more filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster, and 50% filed for bankruptcy immediately
2525 RTO vs RTA  RTO is the target when architecting initial recovery solution  RTA is the Recovery Time Actual at a single point in time after deployment RPO RTO RTA Recovery Completed OUTAGE
2626 Need to Understand Time Discrepancy Between RTO and RTA  Failover tests are critical and help understand the Recovery Time Actual  SRM enables non-disruptive failover testing without impacting production systems HOT COLDWARM RTO RPO Tier • DNS Failover • Array-based Replication • Host-based Replication • DB Replication (Transactional) • DB Rep.
