Optimizing Replication(Data Compression)
Plenty of bandwidth(initially)
Initial replication – raw feed
RAW replication feed overwhelmed network until
compression turned on
@Bluelock | #BLRaaS | www.bluelock.com
RaaS Console(in Virtual Center)
Rate of change = RPO
@Bluelock | #BLRaaS | www.bluelock.com
Optimizing Replication(Ephemeral Data)
Plenty of bandwidth(initially)
Nightly maintenance degrades RPO and Recovery Point options (due to burst of ephemeral data)
@Bluelock | #BLRaaS | www.bluelock.com
RPO Fluctuation
Nightly maintenance degrades RPO and Recovery Point options (due to burst of ephemeral data)
Initial seeding of new VMs,
creates bursts
@Bluelock | #BLRaaS | www.bluelock.com
Optimizing the SolutionExclude swap and temp disks from
replication to reduce maintenance burst
Private, Paygo, Flexible replication circuit eliminates
paying for in/out Internet bandwidth and only for high
bandwidth when needed
Burstable bandwith makes adding/seeding VMs to
protection simple without impacting RTO
