Understanding the Use Cases and Implementation Options
Prior to SRM 5, relied on array-based replication
– requires same versions of vCenter and SRM but ESX versions can vary
SRM 5 now supports vSphere Replication (in addition to array-based)
– vSphere Replication requires parity of all versions of vSphere
SRM: Site Recovery Manager
SRA: Storage Replication Adapter
SRM 5 UI allows seeing both sites from one interface
vSphere Replication offers a cost-effective choice/alternative to array-based
– does not replace array-based for the foreseeable future
