1. vCenter Site Recovery Manager 5 Name Title Q3 2011 SRM-SLS-1.7

2. Introduction – VMware for Business Continuity

3. 43% of companies experiencing disasters never re-open, and 29% close within two years. ( McGladrey and Pullen) 93% of business that lost their data center for 10 days went bankrupt within one year. (National Archives & Records Administration) Top executives say 10 hours to recovery; IT managers say up to 30 hours. ( Harris Interactive ) Disasters Happen. Do You Need Protection?

4. Business-Critical Applications Require Business Continuity Availability Expectations on vSphere Continue to I ncrease RTO’s decreasing from >24 hours to <12 hours 38% 43% 53% 25% 25% 18% % of Application Instances R unning on VMware in C ustomer B ase MS Exchange MS SQL MS SharePoint Oracle Middleware Oracle DB SAP Source: VMware customer survey, Jan 2010 and April 2011 interim results, Data : Total number of instances of that workload deployed in your organization and the percentage of those instances that are virtualized 2010 2011 42% 47% 67% 34% 28% 28%

5. Tradeoffs Of Traditional Business Continuity Solutions Middleware / Java Oracle RAC Oracle DataGuard DB Mirroring MS Clustering DB Access Groups CCR / SCR App Server Cluster Session State Replication Backup Data replication Application-level availability silos : C omplex and expensive Data protection services : Longer RTOs and RPOs

6. VMware Improves Business Continuity At All Levels Local Availability vSphere High Availability vSphere Fault Tolerance vMotion and Storage vMotion Data Protection vSphere Data Recovery Storage APIs for Data Protection Local Site Failover Site Disaster Recovery vCenter Site Recovery Manager Includes vSphere Replication New in 2011 Improved in 2011 Improved in 2011 vSphere vSphere vSphere vSphere vSphere Improved in 2011

7. Simple and Reliable DR with vSphere and SRM

8. Challenges of Traditional Disaster Recovery Expensive Complex Recovery Plans ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Unreliable Failovers Apps Hosts Storage Network Software Hosts Storage Facilities >$10K per app Failure to meet business requirements Long RTOs – days to weeks Too much time and resources consumed = + +

9. vSphere Provides The Best Foundation For Disaster Recovery Flexible Infrastructure Eliminate need for identical hardware across sites Enable waterfalling of equipment to recovery site Simple Application Protection Entire system – including application, OS, and data – is stored as virtual machine files Entire system can be protected with data protection tools Cost-Efficient Infrastructure Reduced hardware requirements at recovery site Use recovery hardware to run low-priority apps Encapsulation Consolidation Hardware Independence vSphere vSphere vSphere

10. vCenter Site Recovery Manager Ensures Simple, Reliable DR Provide cost-efficient replication Built-in vSphere Replication Broad support for storage-based replication Simplify management of recovery and migration plans Replace manual runbooks with centralized recovery plans From weeks to minutes to set up new plan Automate failover and migration processes Enable frequent non-disruptive testing Ensure automated failover and migration Automate failback processes Site Recovery Manager Complements vSphere to provide the simplest and most reliable disaster protection and site migration for all applications VMware vSphere VMware vCenter Server Site Recovery Manager VMware vCenter Server Site Recovery Manager VMware vSphere Site A (Primary) Site B (Recovery) Servers Servers

11. SRM Momentum Introduced in Q2’ 2008 > 5,000 customers 50% annual growth in 2010 “If your organization is already taking advantage of virtualization, then adding Site Recovery Manager to handle disaster recovery is a no-brainer.” ― Jerry Wilkin Senior Systems Administrator, Dayton Superior Corp

12. What’s New In Site Recovery Manager 5.0? Automated failback Planned migration Expand DR coverage to Tier 2 apps and smaller sites Streamline planned migrations (for disaster avoidance, planned maintenance, …) vSphere Replication Others More granular control over VM startup order Protection-side APIs IPv6 support

13. SRM 5 Editions Lineup SRM 5 Standard Enterprise Price per protected virtual machine (license only) $195 $495 Scalability Limits Maximum protected VMs 75 virtual machines (1) Unlimited (2) Features Support for storage-based replication Centralized recovery plans Non-disruptive testing Automated DR failover vSphere Replication Automated failback Planned migration New in SRM 5.0 Maximum of 75 VMs per site and per SRM instance Subject to the product’s technical scalability limits

14. Key Components Of SRM 5 vCenter Server Site Recovery Manager Protected Site Recovery Site Storage vCenter Server Site Recovery Manager vSphere vSphere Storage Replication O ptions vSphere Replication Bundled with SRM Storage-Based Replication (3 rd party ) Site Recovery Manager 5 1 per site vCenter Server 5 1 per site Standard or Foundation vSphere 3.5, 4.x or 5 Standard, Enterprise or Enterprise Plus

15. SRM Provides Broad Application Coverage Continuous Hours Days App-level geo-clustering / load balancing RTO RTO: 30 minutes to hours RPO: Flexible based on storage replication RPO Synchronous Hours Days Site Recovery Manager Tier 1 Apps Tier 2 Apps Tier 3 Apps

16. Cost-Efficient Replication To Expand DR Coverage

17. SRM Provides Broad Choice of Replication Options vSphere Replication Simple , cost-efficient replication for Tier 2 applications and smaller sites Storage-based R eplication High-performance replication for business-critical applications in larger sites vCenter Server Site Recovery Manager vSphere vCenter Server Site Recovery Manager vSphere vSphere Replication Storage-based replication Site A (Primary) Site B (Recovery)

18. vSphere Replication Complements Storage-Based Replication Replication Provider Cost Management Performance vSphere Replication VMware Low-end storage supported No additional replication software VM’ granularity Managed directly in vCenter 15 min RPOs Scales to 500 VMs File-level consistency No automated failback, FT, linked clones, physical RDM Storage-based Replication Higher-end replicating storage Additional replication software LUN – VM layout Storage team coordination Synchronous replication High data volumes Application consistency possible

19. Storage Replication Expand DR Protection To Tier 2 Apps And Small Sites Tier 1 Apps Tier 2 / 3 Apps Corporate Datacenter Small Sites Small Business Remote Office / Branch Office vSphere Replication vSphere Replication vSphere $1,000 $2,000 $2,000/VM Tier 1 S torage Failover S ite Replication SW SRM Enterprise $600/VM Tier 2 Storage F ailover S ite SRM Standard Storage, Replication , and SRM Costs per Protected VM Storage Replication Large site vSphere Replication Small site

20. Simplify Replication Management With vSphere Replication Overview Benefits vSphere Replication provides simple management of replication Managed directly from vCenter Managed at the individual VM-level Eliminate complex interactions between vSphere and storage teams to set up replication Eliminate need to shuffle VMs between datastores to map applications to replicated LUNs Hub LUN 1 LUN 2 VMFS A Datastore Group Web SharePoint SQL App vSphere Replication Web SharePoint SQL App vSphere Admin Storage Admin vSphere Admin Storage-based R eplication Datastore VMFS B Datastore

21. Planned Migrations

22. Planned Migrations For App Consistency & No Data Loss Overview Benefits Two workflows can be applied to recovery plans: DR failover Planned migration Planned migration ensures application consistency and no data-loss during migration Graceful shutdown of production VMs in application consistent state Data sync to complete replication of VMs Recover fully replicated VMs Better support for planned migrations No loss of data during migration process Recover ‘application-consistent’ VMs at recovery site Planned Migration Site B Site A Replication 1 Shut down production VMs 2 Sync data, stop replication and present LUNs to vSphere 3 Recover app-consistent VMs vSphere vSphere

23. Simplify failback process Automate replication management Eliminate need to set up new recovery plan Streamline frequent bi-directional migarations Automated Failback To Streamline Bi-Directional Migrations Re-protect VMs from Site B to Site A Reverse replication Apply reverse resource mapping Automate failover from Site B to Site A Reverse original recovery plan Restrictions Does not apply if Site A has undergone major changes / been rebuilt Not available with vSphere Replication Overview Benefits Automated Failback Site B Site A Reverse Replication Reverse original recovery plan vSphere vSphere
