Once Hyper-V Replica is enabled, VMs begin replication Affordable in-box business continuity anddisaster recovery Configurable replication frequencies of 30seconds, 5 minutes and 15 minutes Secure replication across network Agnostic of hardware on either site No need for other virtual machinereplication technologies Automatic handling of live migration Simple configuration and management Replicate Hyper ‑ V VMs from a Primary to a Replica site Once replicated, changes replicated on chosen frequency Upon site failure, VMs can be started on secondary site

Replication configured from primary to secondary Once a VM has been successfullyreplicated to the replica site, replicacan be replicated to a 3 rd location Chained Replication Extended Replica contents match theoriginal replication contents Extended Replica replication frequenciescan differ from original replica Useful for scenarios such as SMB ->Service Provider -> Service Provider DRSite Replicate to 3 rd Location for Extra Level of Resiliency Replication can be enabled on the 1 st replica to a 3 rd site

Protect important services bycoordinating replication and recovery ofVMM-managed private clouds Automates replication of VMs withinclouds between sites Hyper-V Replica provides replication,orchestrated by Hyper-V RecoveryManager Can be used for planned, unplanned andtesting failover between sites Integrate with scripts for customization ofrecovery plans Orchestrate protection and recovery of private clouds
