Many organizations realize the importance of implementing a robust disaster recovery (DR) solution for reasons including, but not limited to, business continuity, compliance with industry regulations, protection against disasters, ransomware, and security breaches. Traditional DR solutions are complex and may not able to provide the required levels of protection that organizations need. VMware disaster recovery solution known as site recovery manager offers policy-based management, minimizes downtime in case of disasters via automated orchestration, and enables no disruptive testing of your disaster recovery plans. In this paper, a virtual environment that simulates enterprise works environment such as banks, companies and other organizations will be created on a HPE server using a VMware platform to study disaster recovery solution provided by VMware and assessment of several cases of applications and systems that operate on this environment in terms of different specifications and validate the recovery solution from disasters when a disaster strikes and minimize downtime duration.
