VDI - A New Face on Business Continuity

Manageable, Scalable, Reproducible and Predictable (MSRP) solutions

Engineering and Architecture

IT organizations are continuously challenged with protecting business-critical applications and data against various causes of downtime. HVE provides organizations a true software defined datacenter that encompasses business continuity by design. HVE’s overall modular design provides better flexibility to protect your business critical information within VMware vSphere and Microsoft environments. Whether you choose to build your own solution or subscribe to disaster recovery services, HVE is there to provide the compute needed.

• Modular Next-Gen performance design scales virtualization architectures efficiently.

• Scalable for large enterprise deployments or small organizations.

• Built on virtualization platforms that provide Software Defined Datacenter Solutions.

The new compute is designed to implement an infrastructure for high availability and provides a solid solution for backup and disaster recovery based on virtualization technologies. It also expands the overall compute capabilities for DR site and upgrades overall VMWare software architecture for improved performance and stability. Finally, it provides a long-term business continuity virtualization platform roadmap by utilizing best-of-breed technologies.

HVE Disaster Recovery

Solution 1

HVE Disaster Recovery

Solution Business continuity ensures simple, cost-effective availability for all your applications. Traditional application-level clustering solutions are costly, hard to implement and difficult to manage.

With HVE’s design around Software Defined Datacenters, organizations can increase the baseline level of availability for all their applications and ensure service level agreements are met.

With this implementation, the outlined architecture will replace existing backup/replication solution and provide a new backup/replication capabilities associated with Veeam and VMWare vSphere 5.5 enhances.

The architecture will include the HVE-STAGE-BIX server at the DR site (which is an all-in-one server), SAN and VMWare compute server.

This server provides ~3TB local SSD, 40 Logical (CPUs Intel Ivy Bridge), 256G Ram 1833Hz memory and is VMWare vSphere ready.

Additionally there will be two (2) new iSCSI NAS devices with ~10TB usable storage.

One (1) appliance will be located at the central office and the other at the DR site collocated with the HVE-STAGE-BIX appliance.

Veeam software will be used for the backup and replication engine at the software layer. Coupled with vSphere 5.5 enhancements, this provides a long-term industry standard strategy for backup and replications.

This solution can provide 1:many production to replicate client compute platforms.

Once the data is recovered, the users will be able to connect to the remote servers via the VDI infrastructure.

How is this possible?

Engineering and Architecture

Stand Alone

Stand Alone HVE Systems are great for starting a new VDI environment. They come fully configured and ready to deploy.

Tethered

Tethered HVE Systems are designed to tie into existing infrastructure. They are an efficient and cost-effective way to expand desktop pools.

Cloud Hotspot

HVE Systems can be used to create a Cloud “Hotspot” at a remote location. This setup is ideal for branch offices or other locations separated from the main data center that do not have sufficient bandwidth or other resources to communicate effectively with the central infrastructure.

With a Stand Alone HVE systems, there is no need for additional infrastructure. Everything needed to deploy and run the Virtual Desktop environment is included.

Since many organizations today have some type of virtualization initiatives, HVE systems can tether off of (and make use of) existing infrastructures and build-out capabilities.

HVE Cloud “Hotspot”

Central Datacenter

Remote Office

Branch offices or other off-site locations may not have the bandwidth to support running virtual desktops from the central datacenter. HVE can install an appliance at the branch office that can handle the compute power to run the virtual desktops, but still link back to the central datacenter for persona and policy information. This gives the branch office the best possible performance while IT infrastructure and security remains intact.
