VMware heeft een uitgebreid document online geplaatst over het onderwerp “Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery”:
To provide a framework for this VMbook, we architected and built a multisite virtual infrastructure data center that included all the necessary infrastructure components; networking, storage with a data replication component, physical servers, Active Directory, with integrated DNS and VMware virtualization to demonstrate how to execute a BCDR failover from the production site to the
designated BCDR site in a semi automated fashion by leveraging the VMware infrastructure as well as the VMware VI Perl Kit1, we will also discuss how to complete a failback of services after a disaster event in this VMbook.
Het document is geschreven in samenwerking met AMD, Cisco, Dell, Emulex, Intel, NetApp en Sun Microsystems en omvat circa 230 pagina’s. De inhoudsopgave ziet er zo uit:
