Description: 	            Implement disaster recovery at the storage level by re-instantiating virtual servers at a remote data center after a disaster

Risk Components:       Complexity, dependence on SAN/NAS replication 

Next Inflection:	    Medium Risk/early adopter in 24-36 months 

Expected ROI:	          12 months

Pitfalls:	                SAN/NAS replication is complex. Not enough physical servers in recovery site to maintain adequate performance. Demand/replication spike during disaster

Vendors:	            Microsoft, SWSoft, VMWare, Virtual Iron, XenSource 

New Skills:	              SAN or NAS replication; continuous data protection; managing virtual machines and physical machines in a mixed environment 

Related Technologies:   SAN, NAS, blade servers, provisioning software, patch management, global server load balancing; WAN routing and optimization
