VMware Site Recovery Manager
VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) is a disaster recovery orchestration and automation tool designed for VMware vSphere environments. It enables automated failover and recovery of virtual machines and applications between primary and secondary sites, ensuring business continuity. SRM integrates with vSphere and storage arrays to provide policy-based recovery plans, non-disruptive testing, and centralized management.
Developers and IT professionals should learn SRM when working in enterprise VMware environments that require high availability and disaster recovery compliance, such as financial services, healthcare, or e-commerce. It's essential for automating complex recovery processes, reducing downtime during outages, and meeting recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO) in multi-site deployments.
