That version added a more simplified disaster recovery process, easier failover testing, and improved replication speeds. The product gives users the ability to replicate the entire virtual machine from many hosts to a single host and between different hardware platforms. With this software, replication is performed at the storage block level. Now, the company is offering a beta version of vReplicator – version 2.5. And with this latest version, the company has added new features to help with the replication of virtual machines. vReplicator 2.5 now includes a VSS driver that utilizes Microsoft’s Volume Shadow Copy Service to pause application writes. This feature will enable quiescing of supported databases to provide a transaction consistent image at the D/R site. vReplicator 2.5 offers a new method of replication that combines the control of snapshot replication with the intelligence of Vizioncore’s Differential Engine. Customers can schedule shorter replication intervals by utilizing snapshot replication, knowing that vReplicator will automatically engage it’s leading Differential Engine to resynchronize the source and destination VMs without the need to resend the whole image.
