I can safely deploy it on an ISP environment because it's designed with isolation and multi-tenancy in mind.

What is most valuable?

  • Interoperability between Hyper-V, ESX, vCloud, and AWS.
  • Very easy to use
  • Reliable
  • Fast
  • Also the architecture (on the ISP side) is designed with isolation and multi-tenancy in mind, so it's safely deployable on an ISP environment.

How has it helped my organization?

It allows smooth migrations which would be a lot more difficult with other technologies.

What needs improvement?

  • A "manual mode" which would allow the user to failover the VMs but keeping them powered off at destination
  • More powerful scripting engine
  • Ability to move protected VMs between VPGs
  • More reliable ETA on VPG syncronization
  • root-level user for VRA installation ( at the moment the user "root" is hardcoded )
  • Bandwidth throttling schedule should include days of week

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used it for four months.

It works great, taking BC\DR to a whole new level.

It works great, taking BC\DR to a whole new level; even though it's a "young" product and still has lots of improvements to do, it will allow for every company to implement a successful BC\DR strategy
