Appendix C. vCloud Suite Disaster Recovery
Disaster recovery for vCloud Director is described as “DR of the Cloud.” It is full-site-based failover and recovery of the entire vCloud infrastructure, including associated vApps.
Because vCloud Director does not currently integrate with vCenter Site Recovery Manager, there is no obvious way to use vCenter Site Recovery Manager to protect a vCloud environment from a disaster scenario by failing over the site to a recovery site.
The VMware vCloud Suite assembles existing products to facilitate disaster recovery of the vCloud from one site to another. See the following for more information about how this architecture supports disaster recovery:
