7. Bluelock Virtual Datacenter
(4 Series for DR - RaaS)
Virtual Datacenters for DR
•
only
during replication
•
During testing or a disaster
event :
,
network capacity, and
are added
dynamically from the cloud

9. Virtualization refresh
• Hardware virtualization or
platform virtualization refers to
the creation of a virtual
machine that acts like a real
computer with an operating
system.
• Virtualization creates the ability
to take physical servers and
condense them to run multiple
instances of servers on one
physical server.

19. Optimizing replication
(Data compression)
Initial replication
– raw feed
Plenty of bandwidth
(initially)
RAW replication feed
overwhelmed network until
compression turned on

20. RPO Fluctuation
Initial seeding of
new VMs,
creates bursts
Nightly maintenance degrades
RPO and Recovery Point options
(due to burst of ephemeral data)

21. Optimizing replication
(Ephemeral data)
Plenty of bandwidth
(initially)
Nightly maintenance degrades
RPO and Recovery Point options
(due to burst of ephemeral data)

22. Optimizing the solution
Exclude swap and
temp disks from
replication to reduce
maintenance burst
Private, Paygo, Flexible
replication circuit eliminates
paying for in/out Internet
bandwidth and only for high
bandwidth when needed
Burstable bandwith makes
adding/seeding VMs to
protection simple without
impacting RTO

25. Taking the Next Step
Where you are now
• DR isn’t a priority
• DR is too expensive
• Connecting to the cloud is
complex
• Cloud is too risky
• Not in our skill set to plan
and manage DR
Your Next Step
• Start the conversation
• Get a quote for one app
• Try it
• For DR, evaluate if this is
true anymore, or old
thinking.
• If you see the value, a
cloud service provider
can get you there.
