Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Design (DRBC Design) is a self-paced course that provides students with a 4-hour introduction to disaster recovery and business continuity concepts and enables them to map some of these concepts to specific VMware product features.
The course consists of four modules:
1. An Introduction to Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity.
2. Using Decision Trees to Design Disaster Recovery Plans.
3. Using Decision Trees to Design Business Continuity Plans.
4. Mapping VMware Product Features to DRP and BCP Requirements.
Objectives
• Describe the differences between disaster recovery and business continuity.
• Describe decision trees involved in disaster-recovery design with vSphere/vCenter and SRM, and the pros and cons of each path in the tree.
• Map SRM features to DR concepts.
• Describe vSphere best practices that facilitate successful DR implementations.
• Describe the role of VMware clustering and backup/restore technologies in disaster recovery.
• Plan for performance monitoring in the event of a failover.
