3 + Before I begin

4 + Before I begin vmware.com/go/ vmwarepress

5 + Where are my photos from? IRA Manchester Van Bomb _Manchester_bombing Insurance Costs: 700m ( 1b as of 2012) 212 injured, no fatalities 3,300-pound (1,500 kg) mixture of semtex, a military-grade plastic explosive, and ammonium nitrate fertilizer,[19] a cheap and easily obtainable explosive used extensively by the IRA

6 + Agenda Why is it SO difficult to sell DR to the Business? DR Why? DR Where? DR to the Cloud? DR in the Cloud? DR of the Cloud Are we nearly there yet?

7 + Q. Why is it SO difficult to sell DR to the Business?

8 + How to talk about DR? Expensive? A Word Game? Talk DR Talk Business Continuity Talk Business Availability Talk The Insurance Policy Remind them of their legal responsibilities Do we need to stop talking about Site RECOVERY Do we need to starting about Site AVAILABILITY? Availability Continuum HA, FT, Backup, SRM, HA Stretch Cluster, HA in Guest Operating System

9 + Q. Why do we want cloud DR?

10 + Q. Why do we want cloud DR? Save money? Costs of running dedicated DR location No-one does dedicated DR locations It is too expensive! Always Active/Active

11 + Q. Where do you want DRcloud?

12 + Q. Where do you want DRcloud? FROM vsphere to the Cloud Or cloud-to-cloud? Private to Public? Private to Private? IN the Cloud for Tenants? OF the Cloud components?

13 + TO the Cloud vsphere Objects DO NOT map DIRECTLY to Cloud Objects Provider vdc point to DRS/HA Clusters Plural not singular Do we care? Should we care? Are we ready NOT to care vsphere Maps to vsphere with SRM Is SRM designed for multi-tenancy? Logins expose SRM Site names SRM Server pairs to one vcenter SRM requires login/rights to vcenter at DR location

14 + IN the cloud Production VMs in a Cloud Requires Backup Requires DR Amazon EC2 95% uptimes = 14 days of outage No Compensation SRM not compatible with vcloud Director vdp not compatible with vcloud Director Political Challenges: Who owns/controls the trigger? The Provider? The Tenant? Self-Service means more resources Is there enough granulatity

15 + Storage Oxymoron There s a contradiction Array-based Replication Vs Cloud Storage Tiering My SRM Hat says: LUNs/Volume per business unit LUNs/Volumes per application Granularity everything in the LUN gets Failed Over My vcloud Director Hat says: Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze per Organization is COMPLICATED Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze per vcd instance seems INFLEXIBLE

16 + Why vsphere Replication and vvols will be SO important What exactly is vsphere Replication? What are vvols? Why are they important? THE FREE YOU FROM THE LUN-ACY OF LUNS

17 + FROM the cloud Can I run production VMs in a environment I can t recover? vcloud Director Multi-Cells for availability Stretched Multi-Cells? Stretched DB backend? Like VMware HA, was it designed for this? Split Brain? Does it really require a stretched cluster? Backup of vcd Database? vcns Manager Database What of the vcns Edge Gateway One per Organization Network One per vapp!!!

18 + DR to the Cloud VDC-Level DR 18 Protection Vision: Org VDC1 Org VDC2 Org VDC2 DR delivered as a service to organizations Application owners able to determine and control their DR requirements vcloud Director SRM vshield vcenter vcloud Director SRM vshield vcenter Enterprise

19 DR to the Cloud Leverage Service Providers With SRM and vcloud Director, enterprises will be able to implement DR more cost effectively by leveraging service providers Multi-tenancy will be delivered using vcloud Director and vshield products (security services) DR protection for both classic vsphere and vcloud Director environments SRM vcenter vcloud Director SRM vcenter vshield Service Provider

20 + Policy Based Disaster Recovery 20 Vision: Migrating to a policybased DR model simplifies provisioning process Start by creating multiple DR tiers of service (DR policy SLAs) Users simply associate their application with the appropriate DR policy SRM will monitor resources and capacity to ensure service levels can be maintained SRM Storage selection Configure Protection Groups Assigns VMs to a recovery plan

21 + vmotion Anywhere Disaster 21 Avoidance vmotion of workloads across vcenter instances within the datacenter Across campus and metro distances Long distances. Full orchestration of VM movement vcenter and solution configuration Storage Live state Integrate with existing data replication and mirroring technologies Management through SRM

22 Reducing RTO Guest IP Customization 40% of SRM customers forced to re-ip VMs at the recovery site Impacts recovery time objective (RTO) Existing solutions such as stretching VLANs only work for smaller distances Ecosystem and VMware are working on solutions to eliminate the need for reconfiguring IP addresses at longer distances. Examples: Cisco OTV, VPLS DR Protected Site Site A DR Recovery Site Site B IP re-configuration during failover SUBNET x.y SUBNET x.y

23 + Are we nearly there yet? Cloud Suite is start But more integration HAS to come WILL come A Work in Progress SRM to the Provider vdc vdp to the Provider vdc Sold-as-a-Service? Self-service must be next?
