Disaster recovery

  • Dell Integrated Data Protection provides disaster recovery services through RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines and related technologies.

    RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines

    RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines software protects VMs residing in a VMware vSphere environment. The product provides local and remote replication capabilities with virtual machine-level granularity.

    Note: VxBlock systems with secure boot enabled support RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 5.3.2 on installations of VMware vSphere 7.0.

    No version of RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines currently supports VxBlock systems that run vSphere 8.0.

    RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines and RecoverPoint are different products. RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines refers to the VMware-related product. RecoverPoint refers to the hardware-based product. The following table shows the differences:

    Storage administrators

    RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines vRPAs are installed in the VMware vSphere environment and provide the plug-in into the VMware vSphere web client.

    VMware vRPAs use the IP protocol to communicate with the VMware vSphere data store. Each vSphere ESXi host that participates in protecting virtual machines requires the RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines installed splitter.

    VMware administrators use the vSphere web client to actively protect and recover virtual machines to any point in time using integrated orchestration and automation capabilities. RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines fully supports the following standard RecoverPoint operations:

    • Test Copy
    • Recover Production
    • Failover

    Because RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines provides automation and orchestration capabilities, VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) is not required. Use VMware SRM only with RecoverPoint Classic.
