HEROware™ Replication in the VMware Environment
Building DR solutions using HEROware and VMware Infrastructure and VMware Server

 

HEROware™ and VMware® provide proven protection for multiple production application servers by leveraging real-time data replication and virtualization technologies to create cost-effective, simplified disaster recovery architectures. Simply put, VMware virtual machines enable HEROware to replicate application data from multiple production servers to a single disaster recovery target and failover to the disaster recovery target in the event of an outage. This document describes how VMware software can be used with HEROware to provide solutions for challenging high availability and disaster recovery problems.

 

What is VMware Infrastructure?

VMware Infrastructure is the most widely deployed software suite for optimizing and managing industry standard IT environments through virtualization – from the desktop to the data center. The only production-ready virtualization software suite, VMware Infrastructure is proven to deliver results in a variety of environments and applications at more than 20,000 customers of all sizes. The suite is fully optimized, rigorously tested and certified for the widest range of hardware, operating systems and software applications. VMware Infrastructure provides built-in management, resource optimization, application availability and operational automation capabilities - delivering transformative cost savings and increased operational efficiency, flexibility and service levels.

HEROware's Role in HIPAA

This document addresses the contingency plan and physical access control requirements of the Administrative Simplification security provision of HIPAA. It will assist health care providers (doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, health insurers, clearinghouses, or any organization directly handling patients health care information), in understanding how HERO (BCA) can be implemented to fulfill some of these requirements.

U.S. Regulated Industries

If you are on the consumer side of the thousands of regulations imposed by the U.S. government, just knowing they exist probably gives you some peace of mind. However, if you are on the compliance side of these complex and ever-changing regulations, you know that staying compliant is a constant tug-of-war between resources and regulation. Acting responsibly on behalf of your consumers and ensuring that your company avoids fines brought on by noncompliance means staying on top of regulatory legislation. By installing HEROware’s “HERO” Backup Continuity Appliance (BCA) , an all-in-one solution of server class hardware and software, small businesses deploying Microsoft Windows Small Business Server (SBS) can ensure that their systems remain compliant with all applicable regulations and that their entire SBS (OS, applications and data) will remain available 24-7-365.

HERO - Better Than Tape

Business-critical data is constantly growing and most Business owners are responsible for protecting it. But when they consider a replication and backup product, their assumption is that they must choose between high availability and disaster recovery. While that can be true, the routine and automated protection of data will not always include a tape aspect, as times have changed for the better. In recent years, the industry has learned that tape backup and replication software are not mutually exclusive. In fact, replication technologies with existing software and off the shelf hardware can and will provide a better backup.

HEROware - Protecting SBS

Just like major corporations, small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are increasingly reliant on the critical data stored on their servers. Limited resources and vulnerability to interruptions put small and midsize businesses at higher risk, and relying on native backup for a small business server can leave gaps in the disaster recovery plan. While native backup for Windows Small Business Server provides a small measure of protection, periodic tape backup can leave small businesses vulnerable to data and time loss in quantities they cannot afford. The key to getting back on track quickly is a comprehensive disaster recovery plan, including fast access to an up-to-the minute copy of your data. This whitepaper provides six tips for an SMB approach to protecting critical data. These tips used in conjunction with HERO BCA from HEROware can help SMBs defend against crippling downtime and data loss.
