The Violin SRA for the VMware vCenter Server Site Recovery Manager leverages array-based replication support, enabling enterprise-wide data protection and BC. This close integration with VMware technology simplifies the configuration and management of DR plans, lowering the TCO for recovery infrastructure.

The Violin SRA enables enterprises to automate their DR by utilizing centralized recovery plans. This includes automated site recovery failback as well as migration processes. Recovery solutions can also be tested in a non-disruptive fashion for confidence in the event of a failure or disaster situation. With traditional solutions, restoring business operations from a remote site can be a lengthy and complex manual process.

  • Reduce recovery time to minutes using automated failover and failback workflows utilizing WAN-optimized replication.
  • Allows detailed recovery policies and plans to be specified on a per data store level across a vSphere cluster.
  • Enables non-disruptive testing to ensure predictable recovery behavior.
  • Perform zero-downtime disaster avoidance and data center migrations.
  • Achieve zero-downtime application mobility by enabling live migration of VMs at scale across sites.
  • Stretch cluster support – leverage Violin Memory solutions that combine synchronous mirroring with array-based clustering in metropolitan distances.

Violin’s FSP, powered by Concerto OS 7, delivers enterprise data services, data reduction, and management simplicity to create a flash-based solutions for primary storage applications. Concerto OS 7 enables organizations to overcome primary storage challenges and run all of their applications with increased consolidation ratios, higher availability and lower TCO as compared to legacy disk, hybrid or SSD-based solutions.

Violin’s FSP provides organizations an enterprise all-flash storage solution ideal for the performance needs of virtualized environments,” said Vikas Ratna, VP of product management, Violin. “While Violin’s Concerto OS 7 eliminates many of the headaches associated with storage infrastructure management, we are excited about what the Violin SRA for VMware’s vCenter Server SRM certification will mean for our enterprise customers.
