The project was a true cloud to cloud disaster recovery, working with multiple cloud service provider locations without interruptions to customers’ applications. RackWare provided an enterprise tested DRaaS solution to move mission-critical applications from vCloud Air Texas to vCloud Air Nevada. Case Study Key reasons Zebra picked RackWare include: RMM enabled Zebra to execute their DR test on complex, multi-tier applications (database, analytics, and remote web interface apps), with no adverse impact to production environments. The Result - DR with Auditable Proof for Multi-Tier Production Applications Selective Sync allows for policy-driven protection and prioritization of mission-critical applications and files. Dynamic Provisioning significantly lowers costs by provisioning servers at the DR event as opposed to pre-provisioning this uses no compute resources until failover. With RMM, origin machine instances can be cloned, replicated and placed in a wide variety of physical and cloud environments.Īdditionally, RMM offers the flexibility to customize RPO, RTO, and cost objectives as per enterprise needs through various pre-provisioned or dynamically provisioned models. The Rackware Management Module (RMM) platform offers a complete disaster recovery solution along with the ability to automate DR testing. The Solution – Disaster Recovery with RMM These VMs included working production, mission-critical systems of multiple application types and multiple customer SLAs. This was a customer facing, revenue generating, production application of over 120 virtual machines (VM’s) running on VMware’s vCloud Air in their Texas datacenter which needed to be replicated and synced to a similar data center in Nevada. The DR test was for a complex, multi-tiered application that was going to be failed over as part of the test. The completion of a successful DR test would provide auditable proof that Zebra can meet their Service LevelAgreements (SLA’s) as well as build real-world experience should a disaster ever occur. Perform a live test and validate that no transactions were lost Validate application availability and serviceability Prove to external customers that Zebra could meet their SLAs The four major goals of the initial DR test were: Zebra needed to run a real-time DR test without taking the production environment offline.
