VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager 4, 1 CPU VC-SRM4-C Leaflet

VMware Site Recovery Manager is a pioneering disaster recovery 
management and automation solution for VMware vSphere™ 4. 

Site Recovery Manager accelerates recovery by automating the 

recovery process and simplifies management of disaster recovery 
plans by making disaster recovery an integrated element of 
managing your VMware® virtual infrastructure. Site Recovery 
Manager also ensures reliable recovery by eliminating complex 
manual recovery steps and enabling non-disruptive testing of 
recovery plans.  

Site Recovery Manager integrates tightly with VMware vSphere, 

VMware vCenter Server and storage replication from leading 
storage vendors to make failover and recovery rapid, reliable, 
affordable and manageable.  It enables organizations to take the 
risk and worry out of disaster recovery, as well as expand protection 
to all of their important systems and applications.

Organizations find it increasingly difficult to provide disaster 
recovery solutions that meet their needs. Site Recovery Manager 
helps organizations address the challenges of traditional disaster 
recovery so that they can meet their recovery time objectives (RTO), 
recovery point objectives (RPO) and compliance requirements.  
Using Site Recovery Manager, organizations can manage failover 
from their production datacenters to disaster recovery sites. They 
can also manage failover between two sites that both have 
active workloads and act as recovery sites for each other.  Site 
Recovery Manager can also help with planned datacenter failovers 
in scenarios such as datacenter migrations, by automating and 
simplifying the process of failing over to the new datacenter.

Using Site Recovery Manager, organizations can:
Manage disaster recovery plans. Site Recovery Manager allows 
organizations to create, update and document recovery plans as 
an integrated part of managing their VMware virtual environment. 

Traditional solutions for disaster recovery rely on documenting all 

of the steps and resources required for failover in runbooks that 
are difficult or impossible to keep accurate and up-to-date. With 

Site Recovery Manager, the steps and resources that make up the 

failover process are managed directly from VMware vCenter Server.
Perform non-disruptive tests of failover and recovery.  Using 

Site Recovery Manager, organizations can execute automated tests 

of their recovery plans without disrupting their environment.  Site 
Recovery Manager makes it easy to create an isolated environment 
for testing while leveraging the recovery plan that would be used 
in an actual failover.  

VMware vCenter™ Site Recovery Manager makes disaster recovery 
rapid, reliable and manageable, so that organizations can meet their 
recovery objectives.  Site Recovery Manager delivers centralized 
management of recovery plans and automates the recovery process. 
It turns complex paper runbooks associated with traditional 

disaster recovery into an integrated element of virtual infrastructure 
management, allowing organizations to improve recovery plan 

testing dramatically. 

•  Accelerate recovery by automating execution of failover.

•  Simplify the creation and management of recovery plans.

•  Improve the reliability of recovery plans by simplifying recovery

and testing.

•  Improve compliance with disaster recovery documentation and

testing requirements.

Site Recovery Manager manages and automates failover and recovery of virtual machines

Site Recovery Manager also allows failover and recovery of multiple sites into one shared 
recovery site
