Business Continuity Challenges Costs Need to reduce the costs related to downtime Need to reduce the costs related to Downtime of applications. Disaster recovery solutions with synchronous replication are expensive Monitoring Constant monitoring of services can be challenging Recovery Manual recovery of the many virtual machines that compose services can be complex and time-consuming - procedures need to be documented and tested Protecting Many Workloads Some workloads that could benefit from protection go unprotected due to costs and complexity
Hyper-V Replica 2012 VIRTUAL MACHINE MOBILITY New feature Replicate Hyper-V virtual machines from a primary site to a replica site Benefits Affordable in-box business continuity and disaster recovery Failure recovery in minutes More secure replication across network No need for storage arrays No need for other software replication technologies Automatic handling of live migration Simpler configuration and management CRM virtual machine SQL virtual machine SharePoint virtual machine P1 Primary site Hyper-V role and tools Hyper-V cmdlets SMB file share Hyper-V PS integrated UI Hyper-V Management Module tracks and replicates changes for each virtual machine Exchange virtual machine IIS virtual machine P2 Replicate over WAN link Send/receive replica traffic Exchange replica virtual machine CRM replica virtual machine R1 Replica site Hyper-V role and tools Hyper-V cmdlets SAN R2 Hyper-V PS integrated UI Hyper-V Management Module receives and applies the changes to the replica virtual machine R3 3
