Celso Toledo

Senior Infrastructure Manager, Information Technology at Pediatrix

A reliable and scalable solution that can be used to ensure workloads are replicated when needed

A couple of years back, our data center was located in Fort Lauderdale, known as Hurricane Alley. We would swing our workloads or production data center into our Dallas data center from July the first until the whole hurricane season. Once hurricane season was done, we would swing everything back to South Florida on November the first. Currently, we have a state-of-the-art data center in Ashburn, Virginia. Since it is a location with no hurricanes, we've got less movement from a failing-over perspective. From a compliance perspective, we need to show our compliance partners that we can cut over a data center should we need to and run out of a different data center somewhere else. This is necessary for compliance, insurance, and HIPAA compliance.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."

"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."

"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."

"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."

"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to change IP addresses when failing a server over."

"The generalization of the journals allows us to go back in time and choose the snapshot suitable for us. We can grab it as needed."

"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines pros

"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."

"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the local storage solution, which significantly boosts performance, especially when transitioning from traditional architecture."

"Nutanix Disaster Recovery can be used for snapshots, backup, and disaster recovery."

"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the reliability and scalability of being able to swing our workloads across the country."

"The product is very simple and very easy to use."

Cons

"The solution currently supports only VMware. There is increasing demand for compatibility with other hypervisors, such as Hyper V and KVM Proxmox. Additionally, licensing has become less flexible and more expensive."

"Although we can change the IP address, it would be good to have some other sort of orchestration to make life easier to manage when we failover."

"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."

"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."

"The biggest challenge we faced was attempting replication between two different kinds of storage systems, like IBM on one side and Dell EMC storage systems on the other, before opting for VPLEX."

"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."

"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."

"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines cons

"The solution's bandwidth utilization can be improved further."

"The product must allow users to create a production domain on the main site in one hypervisor and a backup site on another."

"The dashboard could be a bit refreshed, and some configuration parts could be less confusing."

"The solution should include a standard license for the object level and file level."

"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."

"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."

"This is an expensive product."

"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."

"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."

"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."

"Nutanix Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."

"The solution’s pricing is good."
