Enterprise application virtualization is no longer an emerging technology. Enterprises of all shapes and sizes are deploying applications on virtualized IT infrastructures and cloud, and are reaping benefits of ease of management, simplicity, mobility, flexibility and cost effectiveness. But there are certain speed bumps on this virtualization highway.

The traditional replication and disaster recovery solutions were conceived not to be dealt with all demands created by the virtual paradigm. No matter the way vendors try to fit the square peg into the round hole, the existing DR solutions are hard pressed to adapt scalability, flexibility and mobility that enterprise class applications require when run on a virtual infrastructure. In light of the various challenges that are faced by DR for virtualized mission critical application, XcellHost has put together a list of 10 top questions you should ask yourself about your DR solution for ensuring its suitability to the virtual paradigm.

We have created a list of critical questions that you need to ask yourself when you are about to choose a DR solutions for your virtualized applications.

Question 1. Has to be Virtual ready.

Question 2. Does it support all your mission critical applications needs. If not, then what is the point of having it?

Question 3. Vendor agnostic or not.

Vendor heterogeneity is crucial for both flexibility as well as cost effectiveness.

Is your DR solution hardware-agnostic?

Question 4. Does it provide mobility and migration

Question 5. Does it adapt to the application?

These are some of the top questions that you need to ask when choosing a DR solution. Read more of our whitepaper to find out more of these essential questions that are necessary for finding the perfect DR solution for yourself.
