Business requirements dictate that there must be a reliable Disaster Recovery solution in place to protect companies against unforeseen events. DynaCenter’s approach to rapid server recovery can be easily extended across multiple sites to provide a true disaster recovery solution. By replicating the DynaCenter image library to a recovery site, your production images can be redeployed as needed, anytime, anywhere.

DynaCenter-DR virtualizes a server image and its surrounding network and storage infrastructure so that it can recover to dissimilar hardware. Plus, DynaCenter provides the broadest platform support available, covering Windows, Linux and UNIX. Companies can now enjoy a new price-recovery outcome that provides both the certainty of business continuity with lower costs and fast recovery.

Decreased Total Cost of Ownership

Because you don’t need to dedicate each recovery server to a specific production server, you can reuse your DR assets in many ways:

• Have a single DR site provide recovery for multiple primary sites
• Use your DR assets for development, test, or other non-Tier 1 applications when not needed for recovery
• Have multiple peer sites provide recovery for each other
• Take advantage of quick-ship solutions, recovering to the new dissimilar hardware within minutes

Mass Server Recovery

DynaCenter-DR uses deployment profiles to configure images for different environments, such as IP addresses, VLAN assignments, hostname, gateway, routes, DNS servers, external file systems, and external volumes on SAN. These deployment profiles can be used to reconfigure the production images so they will function correctly in the recovery site. DynaCenter automatically handles these configuration changes during recovery, creating a completely automated recovery process.

Testing Your DR Plan

The deployment profiles also give you the ability to test your disaster recovery solution. Using a set of “test” profiles, you can easily test the failover of a single server, an application, or the entire data center without disturbing the production applications.
