Virtualization Disaster Recovery Center Solutions

By making extensive resources much more accessible through virtualization technologies, it becomes possible to direct consolidated resources according to their purpose and to simplify the management of information technology resources. In this way, institutions can utilize their server resources more efficiently and achieve savings in capital and operational costs.

Disaster recovery is the process of backing up the data at the central site in a shared area and copying those backups to the established Disaster Recovery Center. In case of any issue in the main system room, critical emergency processes are carried out at this Disaster Recovery Center. During the configuration of the Disaster Recovery Center, the required hardware and connectivity technologies are determined by taking emergency needs and data into consideration.

Virtualization Technology helps reduce investment costs through server consolidation and operational costs through automation.

Virtualization Usage Areas;

Network virtualization is performed by separating suitable resources and appropriate bandwidth in the network into independent channels—each assigned to a specific server or device—and consolidating them.

Server virtualization is performed by masking server data—such as the numbers and identity information of individual servers, operating systems, and processors—from its users.

While virtualization ensures the sharing and utilization of increasing resources and preserves capacity in a way that can be expanded later, it prevents the user from needing to know complex details on the server and from managing the server.

Backup virtualization is performed by physically backing up multiple network storage devices that are managed from a central console and appear as if they were a single storage device.
