- 4. Costs Protecting Many Workloads Monitoring Manual recovery of the many virtual machines that compose services can be complex and time-consuming -procedures need to be documented and tested Recovery Need to reduce the costs related to downtime Disaster recovery solutions with synchronous replication are expensive Some workloads that could benefit from protection go unprotected due to costs and complexity Constant monitoring of services can be challenging

SCVMM will provide comprehensive SAN management capabilities within console NEW End-to-End Disaster Recovery and Orchestration with ASR and VMM automates the creation and management of all target objects, both storage and compute, to ensure that recovery is guaranteed to work NEW Synchronous and Asynchronous Replication support that is optimized to help customers achieve the lowest possible RPO and RTO. Capabilities supported by the storage hardware are automatically made available within ASR NEW Multi-VM Consistency and Replications Groups enable multiple LUNs and Virtual Machines to be protected together, thereby expanding support for applications that require application tiers to replicate consistently and failover at the same time NEW Support for Guest Clusters that depend on shared storage provided by Shared VHDX or an iSCSI Target. This important new functionality enables disaster recovery and failover of applications such as SQL Server, SharePoint, SAP etc. that rely on shared storage
