VMware vCloud Director 1.5 (vCloud Director) gives enterprise organizations the ability to build secure private clouds that dramatically increase datacenter efficiency and business agility. Coupled with VMware vSphere (vSphere), vCloud Director delivers cloud computing for existing datacenters by pooling vSphere virtual resources and delivering them to users as catalog-based services. vCloud Director helps build agile infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud environments that greatly accelerate the time to market for applications and increase the responsiveness of IT organizations.
Resiliency is a key aspect of any infrastructure—it is even more important in infrastructure-as-a-service solutions. This case study was developed to provide additional insight and information as to how to increase availability and recoverability of a vCloud Director–based infrastructure using VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM) as well as common disaster recovery methodologies and tools. SRM facilitates fast and reliable recovery and enables you to meet your recovery time objectives (RTOs) by automating the failover process of your vCloud Director management environment.
