In the event of a failure, the site is recovered by executing an automated recovery plan. Data replication across protected and failover zones is necessary to recover the state of the site.
vSphere Replication vSphere Replication replicates virtual machine data between data center objects within a single site or across sites. vSphere Replication fully supports vSAN. It is deployed as a virtual appliance in the Management Pod to provide a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of five minutes to 24 hours.
Site Recovery Manager Site Recovery Manager provides a solution for automating the recovery and execution of a disaster recovery plan in the event of a disaster in a data center. When a catastrophe occurs, components in the Management Pod must be available to recover and continue the healthy operations of the NFV-based services.
VNF Recovery Considerations Every VNF vendor must provide a specific strategy for disaster recovery for any VNF managed directly by the VNF Managers.
