VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) is a new VMware Infrastructure 3-based solution that is tightly integrated with Dell EqualLogic PS Series storage to offer centralized disaster recovery management, automation, and testing for a virtualized datacenter. The integrated solution utilizes the PS Series' native Auto- Replication feature, integrated directly into Site Recovery Manager using specialized storage adapter software developed by Dell. SRM enables non-disruptive, automated testing of recovery plans and automates the recovery process, while the PS Series supplies cost effective and easy-to-configure replication over existing IP networks. The core server virtualization platform that provides IT environments with the tools to help reduce the cost and complexity of managing their IT infrastructure now expands to simplify disaster recovery as well. Storage and server virtualization solutions from VMware and Dell provide the infrastructure for the fully virtualized data center, enabling a dynamic, highly automated computing environment.
