SRM makes another convert at Partner Exchange

Scott Lowe wrapping up his visit to last week's Partner Exchange. In particular, Site Recovery Manager was a hit. I've heard this from a number of people as they begin to get their hands on it. Link: Partner Exchange Wrap-Up - blog.scottlowe.org - The weblog of an IT pro specializing in virtualization, storage, and servers.

First, Site Recovery Manager (SRM) looks to be a very interesting product. I had the opportunity to participate in a hands-on lab with SRM, as well as to participate in a business continuity/disaster recovery (BC/DR) design workshop that incorporated SRM as well. SRM will definitely have an impact on VI architectural designs (more on that in a moment), so VMware architects need to be sure to consider the possible addition of SRM at a later date when designing solutions for customers. I’m looking forward to the final release of SRM and I hope to have more to say about that product after its final release.

As a side note, I’m glad to see VMware using the VI client plug-in architecture to support SRM, something I’d wish they’d do for products like Stage Manager and Lifecycle Manager.
