Neverfail and VMware vSphere Client: Your Most Important Allies to ...

(A portion of this blog post originally appeared on October 19, 2011)

Back in October of 2011 when we first announced that we are releasing Neverfail SRMXtender, a software-based continuous availability solution that extends the scope of VMware vSphere to provide a complete disaster recovery solution for all critical applications, we knew we were onto something big.? Little did we know at the time what a prominent role it would play in creating today?s IT heroes.

With the virtualization revolution in full swing, IT heroes face new challenges when it comes to application availability.? VMware admins control all their virtual machines from one console, yet existing physical servers pose threats to recovery as new virtual-centric tools continued to ignore legacy infrastructure.? Neverfail brought the management of physical server availability into the vSphere Client, putting all your availability tools into one tool belt. This has allowed for tighter management and seamless integration of the virtual and physical worlds, thus creating that elusive single ?pane of glass? through which all server availability can be managed.

Business applications are being virtualized at a tremendous rate with the majority of companies adopting VMware vSphere as their platform of choice. However, many tier-1 applications continue to use physical servers, whether for reasons of vendor support or performance. While customers seek to reduce operational costs through standardizing on vSphere, its inability to include some critical physical servers within its business continuity paradigm makes this goal unattainable in practice. In fact, costs may increase through the need to deploy multiple business continuity strategies to cope with a heterogeneous world.

Companies have turned to VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM) to reduce their business continuity costs by exploiting centralized recovery plans for their virtual machines. Neverfail?s SRMXtender offers customers further significant cost savings by automating the inclusion of physical machines, or even VMs deployed on other virtualization platforms, within SRM recovery plans. When customers test their recovery plans, or call upon them to keep their businesses running after a site disaster, Neverfail?s runtime infrastructure fails over non-vSphere servers according to SRM plans. It also offers industry-leading recovery time and recovery point objectives, allowing customers to meet the stringent availability targets associated with business critical applications.

SRMXtender is fully integrated with Neverfail?s new Virtual Availability Director to allow your disaster recovery solution to be fully managed from within VMware?s vCenter management console.? Now even physical server failover can be included in your SRM Recovery Plans, making your ?big red button? site recovery even bigger.? Whether a single server, a complex business application, or an entire datacenter, Neverfail and VMware together has you covered.
