RecoverPoint is an advanced enterprise-class disaster recovery solution
supporting heterogeneous storage and server environments. RecoverPoint provides
bi-directional local and remote data replication across any distance, and utilizes
continuous data protection technologies to provide consistent point-in-time recovery.
RecoverPoint helps customers accelerate protection and provides operational and
disaster recovery of their VMware
®
Infrastructure, without impacting production
environments. RecoverPoint is ideally suited for replicating and protecting physical
and virtual server environments. RecoverPoint 3.4 and later supports replicating
datastores managed by vSphere 5. The latest RecoverPoint Storage Replication
Adapter (2.0 or later) is required for VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager 5.0.
Introduction
Server virtualization technology allows one physical server platform to run multiple
virtual machines simultaneously. Many customers have taken advantage of server
virtualization, such as that provided by VMware ESX
®
, to consolidate their server
infrastructure and simplify their disaster recovery platforms. These customers may
have also invested in enterprise-class SAN switches, such as the EMC Connectrix
®
ED-
DCX-4S-B and MDS 9000 director family, along with a SAN-based storage
infrastructure, which support their primary data center and disaster recovery sites.
This leads to some challenges when it comes to managing data protection for their
local and remote data centers, especially for applications running on a virtual
machine in an ESX server.
This white paper describes how customers can utilize RecoverPoint to enhance the
disaster recovery and data protection capabilities of their physical and virtualized
VMware servers with local and remote replication.
Audience
This white paper is targeted to VMware storage and server administrators, IT
managers, and storage professionals, as well as integrators, consultants, and
distributors.
EMC RecoverPoint
RecoverPoint is an out-of-band appliance-based product, designed with the
performance, reliability, and supportability required for enterprise applications.
Running on a cluster of tightly coupled servers, RecoverPoint’s high-availability
design ensures that the failure of a single appliance will not affect the data protection
of VMware ESX Server. RecoverPoint utilizes write splitters that reside on the VNX
™
series, CLARiiON
®
CX3, and CX4 arrays, in the fabric or on the host, to monitor and
intercept writes to protected volumes so that a copy of the write can be sent to the
RecoverPoint appliance for further processing.
