VM Replication to Enable Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
Quest Software vReplicator Pro Datasheet
vReplicator Pro Features:
Replication Optimization Engine vReplicator v3.0 including an improved replication engine, that provides Change Block Tracking, Active Block Mapping , the ability to
undo failed replication passes, automatic identification and resolution of previously failed replication pass. This enables
faster replication times, improved recovery point objectives, and greater reliability.
Change Block Tracking Utilizes change block tracking (CBT) capabilities in vSphere to transfer only those data blocks that have changed. By only
transferring those data blocks that have changed, vReplicator provides dramatically faster replications with lower network
bandwidth requirements.
Active Block Mapping (ABM) Eliminates scanning/transfer of non-active data blocks (whitespace) to enable faster replications with lower network bandwidth
requirements.
vSphere and Thin Provisioned Disk Support Supports replication of thin-provisioned disks. Enterprises can deploy thin-provisioned disks on production systems while protecting
data for DR scenarios.
White Space Detection Independent of the patent-pending Active Block Mapping (ABM), vReplicator detects and ignores empty blocks. The initial replication
pass for a VM with a large amount of empty space should result in a smaller replications than with previous versions. vReplicator
dramatically faster replications by performing white space detection, optimizing the replication process.
vReplicator is a virtual machine replication solution that enables disaster recovery and business continuity by helping organizations
meet recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO) while offering a low total cost of ownership. With
vReplicator, users can now get highly reliable and near real-time server replication at a fraction of the cost of SAN array-based
replication approaches.
Customers require data replication as one of the main components to their disaster recovery (DR) and high availability (HA)
strategies. Replication solutions also address the operational backup for applications that require shorter Recovery Point Objectives
(RPOs) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) than what traditional tape backups can offer.
With vReplicator, administrators can bring servers back online quickly with critical data and applications restored to support
business continuity objectives through its Advanced Replication Engine. And only vReplicator offers our patent-pending Active Block
Mapping (ABM) technology and Change Block Tracking (CBT) to optimize data transfer rates. CBT uses vSphere's API to quickly
discover only the changed blocks of data. ABM ensures that deleted data is not transferred to the target VM thus limiting the
amount of data transferred. vReplicator reduces the performance impact on production systems through Asynchronous Data
Transfer regardless of where the target disaster recovery site is located. And unlike array-based solutions, vReplicator provides
replication to all VMs at an affordable price.
