Hypervisor-based Replication and Recovery

Avaria provides enterprise-class business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) solutions for virtualized IT infrastructure and cloud.

This is Avaria’s most comprehensive hypervisor-based data replication solution for VMware vSphere & Microsoft Hyper-V and it replaces traditional array-based BCDR.

Avaria reduces your day-to-day management complexity and streamlines your operations, eliminating the complexity typically associated with managing BC/DR software solutions. Many of the manual tasks associated with a typical DR solution are automated with our solutions, reducing or eliminating error.

Replication for VMWare vSphere

Simple VMWare Replication: Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Solution

Avaria’s managed replication service for VMWare’s vSphere enables automated data recovery, failover and failback and lets you select any VM in VMWare’s vCenter. It’s that simple – no storage configuration necessary, no agent installation on guest required.

Use our replication service for:

1. DR/BC: If primary site (your office/datacenter) fails

2. On-the-fly failover: If you want to do major maintenance on your servers, fail-over to us without losing any data

VMWare Replication Solution without Storage Constraints

Replicate single or multiple VMs
Use an intuitive GUI embedded in VMWare’s vCenter
Protect multiple virtual disks connected to the same VM
Recover immediately with the click of a button
Support replication of RDM devices
View and manage local and remote sites from the same vCenter
Deliver consistent protection across your company with the ability to support multiple sites

Enterprise Class Replication for VMware

Achieve seconds of RPO with continuous replication
Recover applications instantly and automatically, providing RTO of minutes
Protect thousands of VMs with scale-out replication architecture
Reduce application performance impact to zero by eliminating snapshots
Recover from logical or operator errors with journal-based, point-in-time recovery
The size of the journal automatically increases and decreases based on the amount of changed data, ensuring protection even when applications generate large bursts of data.
Monitor and report with built-in reporting and performance UI
Centralized management simplifies tasks, ensuring application availability
Remote Office / Branch Office (ROBO) protection extends disaster recovery to branch offices or environments managed by a single vCenter
Recovery validation for live failover
Increased manageability of alerts and events with a new centralized tab for better cause/effect analysis
Expanded REST API capabilities for orchestration, events and alerts
Improved environment maintenance using new VRA tabs and workflows

Multi-tier Application Protection & Recovery

Protect applications, not LUNs! We can group VMs and virtual disks to be protected and recovered together. This provides complete consistency, regardless of physical location on servers and storage.

Parallel recovery accelerates large application availability
Group VMs and virtual disks into VPGs
Maintain all properties of VPGs, VMs and vApps
Test recovery, failover and failback of entire VPGs
Support VMotion, storage VMotion, DRS and HA while replicating
Multi-site replication, protection and migration, enabling the protection of data at branch offices
Offsite cloning and backup – create a copy of VMs on the replication site for testing, backup or development, with no impact on the production environment
Get application protection policy and QoS
Leverage built-in support for VSS and VMWare vApp objects

Complete BC/DR: Replication, Testing, Recovery, CDP, Migration, & Reporting

Avaria eliminates the need to use multiple solutions for your business continuity and disaster recovery needs. All required workflows and functionality are built-in with easy-to-follow, scalable wizards, empowering you to:

Recovery reports document execution of BC/DR processes, for easy auditing and reporting
‘test-before-you-commit’ function allows test of a specific failover point before committing it, enabling 100% assurance that failover will be successful
Failover one or more VPGs through automated failback
Recover to a historic point-in-time with journal-based CDP
Recover applications instantly, in full read-write mode
Test failover, including full remote recovery in a sandboxed zone
Migrate workloads to a remote datacenter
Monitor with Recovery Time Objective (RTO) reports documenting results of BC/DR tests

Offsite Backup

Avaria’s Offsite Backup increases the usefulness of data that is replicated for the purposes of business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR). A duplicate backup infrastructure is no longer required for backup, significantly reducing the overhead on the production environment.

Automate retention management, ensuring that the following is available at all times per Virtual Protection Group (VPG): Daily copies for the last week, Weekly copies for the last month, Monthly copies for the last year
Configure backup start times and target repository
Ensure backup or disaster recovery operations are executed as needed
Review backups and retention times to ensure business requirements are met
Configure reports to be sent on a daily or weekly basis to provide complete backup information

vCloud Director Integration

vCloud 5.1 seamless integration including native support for vApps, Storage Profiles, Org Networks, Provider VDC and more
Easily replicates between vSphere and vCloud environments

12:20pm Technician backed up the server using imaging software, transported the image to the datacenter and loaded the image into our virtualized environment.
4:43pm called the client asking to test remote access, test software and applications and make sure all data looked good. 6:07PM Client emailed saying “all looks great”.
