VMware Site Recovery Manager is the industry-leading solution to enable application availability and mobility across sites in private cloud environments. Site Recovery Manager is an automation software that integrates with an underlying replication technology to provide policybased management, non-disruptive testing and automated orchestration of recovery plans. This provides simple and reliable recovery and mobility of virtual machines between sites with minimal or no downtime.

Key Benefits: 

• Use for multiple use cases, such as disaster recovery, disaster avoidance, data center migration and other
• Perform frequent non-disruptive testing, even during business hours, to ensure predictable recovery objectives 
• Reduce recovery time to minutes with reliability using automated orchestration workflows
• Achieve zero-downtime application mobility orchestrating live migration of virtual machines at scale across sites
• Return to regular operations with ease using the original recovery plan through automated failback
• Protect thousands of virtual machines using centralized recovery plans and eliminate manual runbooks
• Protect investents and tailor RPOs using supported replication solutions available from major storage vendors
• Lower the total cost of ownership for DR by up to 50%
• Further reduce OpEx and CapEx using complementary Software-Defined Data Center technologies, such as VMware NSX and VMware Virtual SAN.

vSphere 6.5 introduces key developer- and automation-based enhancements to further simplify interactions for developer and automation specialists. These enhancements are being made across both the application program interfaces (APIs) and the command-line interfaces (CLIs) to give customers their choice of access with language bindings and automation tools. Application Program Interfaces vCenter Server has received new extensions to its REST-based API. In vSphere 6.0, this API set provided the ability to manage the Content Library and tagging. In vSphere 6.5, it now also provides the ability to manage and configure the vCenter Server Appliance and enables basic VM management. vCenter Server Appliance API vCenter Server Appliance features a new and simplified REST-based API that can consistently handle the following functions:

• Accessing the appliance 
• Managing user accounts 
• Verifying the health of the appliance and its services 
• Managing networking configurations such as firewall rules and proxy settings 
• Providing a file-based backup or restore of an appliance 
• Managing system settings such as NTP 
• Checking the uptime or version Virtual Machine API Additional functionality has been added for handling the management of VMs. Using the new REST-based interface, users can read information; create, update or delete VMs; set their power state; and work with the hardware. Hardware tasks include connecting the CD-ROM, updating the RAM allotment, adding a network adapter, removing a hard disk, and so on. All of these functions not only are available via developer and automation tooling but also are simplified to ensure that they are easily discoverable. And the use of strong defaults means that only necessary information must be specified. For example, creating a VM is now as easy as 12 lines of JSON and a single API call.

Executive Summary The mobile cloud era is changing line-of-business (LOB) expectations of IT. For IT organizations to securely deliver the anticipated improvements in service quality and speed, a Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) approach is required. The VMware approach to the SDDC delivers a unified platform that supports any application and provides flexible control. The VMware architecture for the SDDC empowers companies to run hybrid clouds and to leverage unique capabilities to deliver key outcomes that enable efficiency, agility, and security. Enterprises using VMware technology have three ways to establish an SDDC and transition at their own pace: build their own using reference architectures; use a converged infrastructure; or use a hyper-converged infrastructure for which the full SDDC is delivered already implemented on the customer’s hardware of choice. The Need for a Software-Defined Architecture For many companies, technology is the rate-limiting step when taking new business initiatives from concept to planning to implementation. Public cloud and mobile services have dramatically increased end-user and LOB expectations. IT organizations struggle to keep pace; as a result, they are not viewed as strategic partners to the business. When IT cannot deliver on business expectations, LOB owners seek out their own solutions outside the purview of IT. Worldwide, 38 percent of IT expenditures are beyond the control of the IT organization.1 Technology expenditures outside of IT are sometimes healthy—for example, functional or LOB leaders might want to experiment with interesting opportunities to improve the business with innovative technologies. In some instances, however, the risks can significantly outweigh the benefits. To navigate the mobile cloud era, the CIO must develop an approach that can best manage these risks. CIOs must leverage a corporate IT strategy through which some experimentation by LOB is allowed to happen. In this scheme, central IT provides guidance on projects run outside of IT; acts as service broker, including services not provided by IT; and integrates services as they transition beyond the experimentation stage. The IT organization’s role shifts from cost center to strategic partner. The SDDC architecture makes this transition possible. Being a strategic partner to the business requires building credibility and has at least two prerequisites. First, to become a business enabler, IT must deliver efficient, secure, and flexible IT services. Second, IT must become a service broker to both on-premises—that is, private cloud—and public cloud services and establish a unified operations and management framework. VMware defines this as a hybrid cloud. The SDDC architecture makes the hybrid cloud possible by defining a platform common to both private and public clouds. To logically define all infrastructure services, the SDDC applies the widely successful computer science principles of server virtualization—that is, abstraction, isolation, and pooling—to the remaining infrastructure services. SDDC management is automated through a cloud management platform, which controls both on-premises and off-premises resources. 1. Gartner. IT Metrics: A Critical Evaluation of Decentralized IT Spending and Digital Enterprise Readiness. June 2013. VMware Software-Defined Data Center TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER / 4 Software-Defined Architectures That Deliver Impact Today A software-defined architecture leverages logical infrastructure services that are abstracted from, as opposed to integrated with, the underlying hardware. Several of today’s largest technology companies in the Internet and social network space leverage this approach to drive aggressive cost savings and improve manageability for certain types of workloads.
