The Violin SRA for the VMware vCenter Server Site Recovery Manager leverages array based replication support, enabling enterprise wide data protection and business continuity. This close integration with VMware technology simplifies the configuration and management of disaster recovery plans, lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) for recovery infrastructure.
The Violin SRA enables enterprises to automate their disaster recovery by utilising centralised recovery plans. This includes automated site recovery failback as well as migration processes. Recovery solutions can also be tested in a non-disruptive fashion for confidence in the event of a failure or disaster situation. With traditional solutions, restoring business operations from a remote site can be a lengthy and complex manual process. Violin’s Flash Storage Platform (FSP) Concerto OS 7 SRA solution, which integrates with VMware’s vCenter Server SRM, accelerates and greatly simplifies every aspect of business recovery.
Violin’s FSP has integrated, advanced business continuance capabilities in its Concerto OS 7 operating system which eliminates issues of complexity and the associated risks with reliability.
Solution highlights for Violin’s Concerto OS 7 certification with VMware SRM:
- Reduce recovery time to minutes using automated failover and failback workflows utilising WAN-optimised replication.
- Allows detailed recovery policies and plans to be specified on a per data store level across a vSphere cluster.
- Enables non-disruptive testing to ensure predictable recovery behavior.
- Perform zero downtime disaster avoidance and data centre migrations.
- Achieve zero downtime application mobility by enabling live migration of virtual machines at scale across sites.
- Stretch cluster support – leverage Violin Memory solutions that combine synchronous mirroring with array based clustering in metropolitan distances.
Violin's FSP, powered by Concerto™ OS 7, delivers enterprise data services, consistent high performance, data reduction, and management simplicity to create a new class of flash based solutions for primary storage applications. Concerto OS 7 enables organisations to overcome primary storage challenges and run all of their applications with increased consolidation ratios, higher availability and lower TCO as compared to legacy disk, hybrid or SSD based solutions.
“Violin’s FSP provides organisations an enterprise class all flash storage solution ideal for the performance needs of virtualised environments,” said Vikas Ratna, Vice President of Product Management at Violin. “While Violin’s Concerto OS 7 eliminates many of the headaches associated with storage infrastructure management, we are excited about what the Violin SRA for VMware’s vCenter Server SRM certification will mean for our enterprise customers. Among its many benefits, this integration will provide simplicity, accessibility and ease of use by bringing business recovery management into a familiar VMware environment. This ensures resilient, protected VMware applications which can enable increased efficiencies, cost savings and ROI,” Ratna concluded.
