Many of you may be wondering what virtualization can do for you beyond server virtualization. At VMware, we like to call this the ?virtualization journey.? Virtualizing your server hardware infrastructure is really just the first step in the journey to transform your business through IT. Virtualization opens the?door to greater IT agility, resource utilization and cost savings. It also enables critical solutions, like business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR).?The ability to maintain business operations in the event of a disaster or an outage is critical to the survival of a business. Failure to have a business continuity and disaster recovery solution in place can result in grim consequences.?
?43% of companies experiencing disasters never re-open, and 29% close within two years.? McGladrey and Pullen
?93% of businesses that lost their data center for 10 days went bankrupt within one year.? National Archives & Records Administration
So, needless to say, having a reliable and viable business continuity and disaster recovery solution is essential. Thankfully, virtualizing your hardware infrastructure is the first step towards building a solution. The inherent characteristics of virtual machines (partitioning, isolation, encapsulation and hardware dependence) are the building blocks of a BCDR solution. By combining these characteristics with solutions like VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager, companies can build a reliable and cost-effective BCDR solution.?
