VMware vCloud ® Air™ is a secure public cloud operated by VMware, built on the trusted foundation of vSphere. The service supports both existing workloads as well as new application development, giving IT a common platform to seamlessly extend their data center to the cloud leveraging the same tools and processes they use today. vCloud Air Offerings

Disaster Recovery Design Considerations
19
Considerations for Failover 19 Sizing How much standby storage? How much standby compute? Security Assessment Does your CSO need to be involved? What approvals are needed? Networking and Connectivity Do you need Direct Connect? Do you need VPN? How many Networks? Workload Prioritization Is storage-based replication in place? Is SRM in place? Which workloads to protect when? Self-service failover driven by consumer action CPU RAM and Storage drive sizing requirements Commensurate bandwidth to support data volume and change rate Type of workloads to protect, Tier 1, Tier 3 CONFIDENTIAL
20
Considerations for Failover Cloud (“DR-VDC”) pre-configuration required to streamline failover operations and aide in faster recovery times Local authentication required? Access needs to manage the environment? Infrastructure Active Directory DNS Networking DHCP / IP Re-addressing L4-L7 services redirect Storage Resource allocation changes Management RBAC CONFIDENTIAL20
