VMware Site Recovery Manager available to order next week
May 12th, 2008 | 
Author: VMware announced officially today that Site Recovery Manager will be available for order next week and then generally available within 30 days. As I mentioned in my Site Recovery Manager Overview post last week, a requirement to using SRM will be a Site Recovery Agent (SRA) from the various storage vendors. VMware’s announcement reveals what vendors will provide SRAs initially:
“VMware Site Recovery Manager leverages customers’ investment in storage replication software from VMware’s leading storage partners including 3PAR, Dell, EMC, FalconStor, Hitachi Data Systems, HP, IBM, LeftHand Networks and NetApp. VMware is working with partners across its storage partner ecosystem to ensure that customers can use Site Recovery Manager with their storage system and software platform of choice.”
As expected, several reports surfaced on the Internet today
involving various individual storage vendors’ support of Site Recovery Manager with their own Site Recovery Agent announcement. SYS-CON media covered most of these announcements with the following articles:
3PAR Integrates With VMware Site Recovery Manager Virtualization (SYS-CON Media)
EMC Extends Disaster Protection Capabilities for VMware Virtualization Environments (SYS-CON Media)
