Disaster recovery can often be painful and difficult to setup but is usually a necessity in large corporate environments. Implementing a proper DR strategy can always be challenging but fortunately virtual servers can simplify your DR implementation. Often some companies use a few virtual servers as a lower cost alternative to many physical servers at their DR sites. There are many different methods and approaches to implementing DR in virtual environments and based on your requirements you may use either one or a combination of these methods. There are also many vendors that offer products to help you replicate data between your main and DR sites. This top 10 list covers the many types of implementation stategies that can be used with DR as well as some of the 3rd party products that can help you with this. It mostly consists of VMworld presentations where an entire track is devoted to disaster recovery and business continuity.
