White Paper: Transforming Business Continuity With VMware Infrastructure And FalconStor Software

VMware virtual machines are hardware-independent so any physical server can serve as a recovery target for any virtual machine. Organizations can significantly reduce the cost of hardware for disaster recovery by repurposing underutilized existing servers for recovery targets and disaster recovery testing.

VMware Infrastructure also simplifies and accelerates recovery, helping IT organizations meet their time-to-recovery targets. Complex multi-step procedures using specialized software for bare-metal recovery and operating system recovery can be simplified to single-step file recovery because virtual machines are completely encapsulated in a small number of files and can be restored to any hardware.

Finally, VMware Infrastructure simplifies testing of disaster recovery plans and makes training personnel in disaster recovery procedures easier.
