VMware Popping More Virtualization Software

Soon Customers Will Be Able to Order that Disaster Recovery Pack that VMware Has Been Promising Since Last September

May. 27, 2008 02:15 PM

This week you’ll be able to order that disaster recovery pack that VMware has been promising since last September, Site Recovery Manager, but it’ll take them another month to deliver it.

It’s supposed to let you set up, test and automate disaster recovery in a way that’s not available with traditional methods, it says, painting a ghastly picture of how exposed companies are because it’s otherwise so hard and downtime prolonged.

With VMware it can all be worked out in glorious isolation. It leverage Infrastructure 3 and VirtualCenter and integrates with third-party storage management software like mama EMC’s replication portfolio.

Stage Manager, in beta since January, is also wending its way out.

It’s the stuff that automates the process of transitioning application environments in the virtual datacenter through the release stage from integration to testing to staging and user acceptance before being sent to production. Changes and updates automatically managed and controlled.

The software comes separately or in two everything-you-need bundles.
