Description
VMware vSphere Replication is a robust disaster recovery and data protection solution designed to replicate virtual machines (VMs) across different sites or within the same site. It is an integrated feature of VMware vSphere and provides a cost-effective way to ensure business continuity by enabling the replication of VMs at the hypervisor level.
Key Features of VMware vSphere Replication
- Hypervisor-Based Replication:
- vSphere Replication operates at the hypervisor level, which means it can replicate any VM running on a vSphere environment without requiring agent installation within the guest operating system.
- Flexible Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs)
- Users can configure RPOs ranging from 5 minutes to 24 hours, allowing for flexibility based on the criticality of the data and the available bandwidth. This ensures that data can be replicated in near real-time or at scheduled intervals.
- Multiple Replication Targets
- vSphere Replication supports replication between multiple targets, including on-premises data centers, remote offices, and cloud environments like VMware Cloud on AWS. This flexibility allows organizations to choose the best disaster recovery strategy that fits their needs.
- Automated Failover and Failback
- In the event of a disaster, vSphere Replication can automate the failover process to the replicated site, minimizing downtime. After the primary site is restored, it also supports failback to return operations to the original site.
- Integrated with VMware vCenter Server
- vSphere Replication is fully integrated with VMware vCenter Server, making it easy to manage replication tasks through the vSphere Client. It provides a single pane of glass for configuring, monitoring, and managing replication.
- Bandwidth Throttling and Compression
- To optimize network usage, vSphere Replication includes bandwidth throttling and compression features. These help reduce the impact on network performance, particularly in bandwidth-constrained environments.
- Integration with VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM)
- For more advanced disaster recovery orchestration, vSphere Replication integrates seamlessly with VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM). This combination allows for automated disaster recovery testing, non-disruptive recovery plan execution, and detailed reporting.
