Executing recovery plans
Test failover: Verify that your
recovery plan and virtual machine
failover strategy are working as
expected.

Unplanned failover:
e.g. a power outage.

Planned failover:
Applies non-replicated changes to the
replica virtual machine with no data
loss, before bringing the VM online in
the secondary site.

Summary
Heterogeneous replication: protection for physical and virtual
environments, regardless of underlying hardware.

Near-zero RPO: lightweight mobility service on the primary servers to track

and replicate data changes continuously in real-time.

N-tier application consistency: guest level app discovery and enforcement

of consistency across all VMs in a multi-tier app.

Best-in-class RTO: end-to-end recovery orchestration such as network

adaptation and sequencing to minimize site level RTO.

Maturity and experience: 1,000+ customers, multiple patents, and support

for a wide range of different platforms.
