Advanced Architecture Design for Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery

Working over in vCloud Air Tech Marketing, I have been focusing a lot on Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery.  Recently I wrote a solution brief (Colotti started it, however I finished it) covering the advanced architecture required to implement a full Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery solution.

This solution brief walks people through considerations around Authentication and DNS, leveraging data seeding for replication, and how to failback to your on-premises environment.

Here is a sneak preview of some of the content from the Advanced Architecture Design for Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery Solution Brief:

Conclusions

Assuring continuity of applications and data through enterprise-grade Disaster Recovery practices is a prerequisite for any full-scale enterprise hybrid architecture using VMware vCloud Air or any cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service solution.

The examples reviewed here extend the vCloud Air use cases to include Disaster Recovery in the cloud, with

  1. Clear, simplified setup and migration processes
  2. Multiple options to support the DR environment with Active Directory, DNS, and other infrastructure services
  3. Efficient data seeding alternatives to reduce initial migration time
  4. Multiple-machine configuration protocols to reduce administrative burdens
  5. Easy to deploy failback replication to move workloads back on-premises

vCloud Air is an enterprise-ready hybrid cloud solution, ready now to meet the most demanding requirements.
