Essentials for Hyper-V

Citrix® Essentials™ for Microsoft® Hyper-V™, offers advanced server virtualization management capabilities for Hyper-V to help Windows Server 2008 customers create highly scalable, manageable and agile environments for Hyper-V virtual machines.

StorageLink Site Recovery

When it comes to site-to-site disaster recovery, server virtualization has the potential to slash costs through consolidation of idle disaster recovery infrastructure. However, the high cost of existing disaster recovery technology combined with its complex, crossfunctional nature prevents most IT organizations from adequately protecting the majority of their datacenter server workloads.

Citrix® StorageLink™ Site Recovery dramatically simplifies the setup and configuration of disaster recovery protection of Microsoft® Hyper-V™ workloads through direct integration with storage array-based controls for data replication and copy services. Together, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix StorageLink Site Recovery reduce the cost and complexity of implementing disaster recovery for critical server workloads.

Once organizations have the basic Citrix and Microsoft components in place, the implementation of disaster recovery protection is very easy.

Benefits

Easy setup - Use StorageLink Site Recovery wizards to initiate remote replication between arrays, and designate Hyper-V virtual machines for protection in minutes.
Reliable configuration - Automate disaster recovery configuration validation with built-in configuration checks to eliminate complex, error prone operations that can otherwise hinder recovery of critical infrastructure.
Non-distruptive testing - StorageLink Site Recovery includes the ability to stage replicated virtual machines in isolated environments for testing and validation of disaster recovery plans without disrupting ongoing replication.
Fast recovery - Single-click controls for failover of protected Hyper-V workloads helps ensure fast recovery at remote disaster recovery locations.
