If you’re attending the VMworld 2010 next week you might want to consider putting the following session on your most wanted list.
Session ID: BC8432
Session Title: SRM Futures: Host Based Replication
Host based replication (HBR) is the ability to replicate VM’s between dissimilar storage. Meaning for example, from an ESX local hard drive to a storage array in a different location. This technology will be in a future version of SRM and it will allow you to protect a remote location as if you had replicating storage arrays in common between it and your main datacenter. SRM will allow you to replicate individual VM’s as part of a protection strategy. This replication will be done without guest agents and is managed inside SRM. You will see screen shots, and learn the use cases that have driven this feature set. You will learn how to install, configure and use it.
Speakers: Patrick Tullmann; Senior Staff Engineer at VMware and Michael White; Senior Technical Marketing Architect BCDR at VMware

I saw this session in the VMworld and I will definitely will attend it.
It is really good to replicate between dissimilar Storage. Also I am hoping with HBR they will have a better way of tracking changes and replicating it over the WAN connection verses how Storage is handling it.
So for example if I create a 10 GB file and delete it after 10 minutes, Storage is not aware of what is going on in the OS level. How HBR will deal with something like this?
