Conclusion

VCLOUD AVAILABILITY FOR VCLOUD

DIRECTOR
vCloud Availability enables service providers to deliver true Disaster
Recovery as a Service, with a focus on streamlining and automating
the replication and recovery process.

vCloud Availability for vCloud Director enables service providers to

offer simple, cost-effective cloud-based disaster recovery services
that seamlessly support their customers vSphere environments. This
solution is designed expressly for service providers to be easy to
operate, to foster customer adoption and growth with a radically
simple on-premises installation process, and to enable further
monetization of existing vCloud Director multi-tenant cloud
environments.

VCLOUD AVAILABILITY ARCHITECTURE

VMware vSphere Replication is the underlying replication technology

that is used by vCloud Availability for vCloud Director. vSphere
Replication provides a hypervisor-based, asynchronous replication of
virtual machines, independent from the underlying storage hardware,
which is essential for replications to and from the public cloud with
disparate hardware used.

The vSphere Replication Agent is built into the VMware ESXiTM

hypervisor, and with the help of the vSCSI filter, tracks block
changes to virtual disks (VMDKs) of running virtual machines.
Depending on the required RPO, the hypervisor then transmits the
changed blocks in regular intervals to the target environment.

VCLOUD AVAILABILITY PORTAL

The vCloud Availability for vCloud Director portal is a virtual

appliance that provides a graphical user interface for tenants to
manage their replications when they have no access to their on-
premises vSphere Web Client user interface.

VCLOUD AVAILABILITY HANDS-ON

This module utilizes interactive simulations to show how to:

Set up vSphere Replication - set up vSphere Replication from the client

side to replicate to a Cloud Provider.
Run a Test - use the vCloud Availability Portal to initiate a failover test

Run a Failover - initiate a failover from the vSphere Web Client

Reverse Replication and Failback - reverse replication from the Cloud

Provider back to vSphere and initiate a failback using the vCloud Availability
Portal.
