Replication Options 11

CCI Operational Advisory Group – June 2, 2017 Replication Options: 1. Active/Active Cluster (L4 or other) 2. ??? 3. Storage-level Replication 12

CCI Operational Advisory Group – June 2, 2017 Active/Active: • Fastest Recovery (Seconds) • Handles app, OS, VM, and site issues • 2x+ cost & admin time, license, etc. • Requires advanced setup (L4, etc.) • Can be complex 13

CCI Operational Advisory Group – June 2, 2017 Storage-Level Replication: • Slowest Recovery (Weeks) • DR only • No extra cost, no extra admin • On for everybody, but… • No compute to run the workloads 14

CCI Operational Advisory Group – June 2, 2017 Replication Options: 1. Active/Active Cluster (L4 or other) 2. VM-level Replication 3. Storage-level Replication 15

CCI Operational Advisory Group – June 2, 2017 VM-Level Replication: • Beta/comment period right now • 4 hour/24 replica option • 24 hour/7 replica option • Compute & storage reserved for you • 2x resource cost, 1x license & admin 16

CCI Operational Advisory Group – June 2, 2017 VM-Level Replication: • Email our support team if interested • Still have things to do: How do we decide to cut over? Options available to users & when? How do we make restores easy? Why it’s “beta”  • 17
