RP4VM Questions

Dear,

 

We already have a Recovery point for Virtual machine license installed in central site, and I would like to ask some questions:

 

If there is a central site and 4 remote sites, each site has a RP4VM cluster.

site 1 has 4 VMs to replicate to central site.

site 2 has 2 VMs to be replicated to central site.

site 3 has 6 VMs to replicate to central site.

site 4 has 8 VMs to replicate to central site.

 

Our questions :

  • Should I buy a Recovery point for VM license in each site by number of VMs protected?
  • a VPN Site to site is required to replicate virtual machines from each sites to central sites or I can replicate over the WAN without vpn site to site?
  •  The communication between the sites (the RP4VM in each site) is encrypted?

Thank you.

Hi @Seifbh 

  • Should I buy a Recovery point for VM license in each site by number of VMs protected? Yes you should license the vCenter which you will protect from 
  • a VPN Site to site is required to replicate virtual machines from each sites to central sites or I can replicate over the WAN without vpn site to site? Yes, you can replicate over the WAN without site <=> site VPN.
  •  The communication between the sites (the RP4VM in each site) is encrypted? Yes, RP4VMs communication is encrypted 

Hope that helps,

Hi,

If they are separate clusters they are probably going to need separate licenses. You may want to talk to sales about the best options.

Dear Muhammed,

 

Really appreciate your answer, it helps me  

Just last question please.

 

We should install RP4VM cluster on each site to replicate all sites to central sites (all clusters joined to central site cluster)

So how many cluster we can install on recovery point system. What is the maximum number of sites that we can protect? 

 

Kind regards,

Seif

Hi Seif,

Regarding the question => how many clusters can we install on the RecoverPoint system? => 5 Clusters

For more info, regarding the RP4VMs limitations please check this guide https://support.emc.com/docu89865_RecoverPoint-for-Virtual-Machines-5.2-Scale-and-Performance-Guide.pdf?language=en_US
