HP Matrix Operating Environment recovery management provides automated disaster recovery of physical and virtual logical server environments. With a simple mouse click, recovery management transfers workloads, running on HP BladeSystems with ProLiant server blades or in ProLiant-based VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V* virtual machines, to a recovery site located as far as a continent away. Recovery management integrates the replication capabilities of HP storage environments to ensure that application data is properly replicated at the recovery location, and that the overall transition is measured in minutes, not days. Recovery management provides an integrated disaster recovery solution for the Matrix Operating Environment, allowing customers to easily incorporate DR into their enterprise environments. It offers cost-effective and automated recovery solution that supports both metropolitan and continental distances, and can quickly recover logical server-based application environments to a remote location.

The HP Matrix Operating Environment provides the advanced infrastructure lifecycle management and disaster recovery capabilities for the HP CloudSystem Matrix, a converged infrastructure solution spanning servers, storage and network resources that is an ideal platform for delivering shared services and helps you instantly adjust to dynamic business demands.

HP Matrix Operating Environment recovery management highlights:

• Workload disaster recovery failover to remote sites in minutes, rather than hours or days
• Easy-to-use graphic user interface for creation and testing of failover and recovery scenarios
• Virtual and/or physical server automated activation at the remote site at the touch of a button
• Integrates with existing HP EVA and XP Continuous Access replication environments to ensure seamless storage availability at both metropolitan and continental distances

More details on the recovery management capabilities of the HP Matrix Operating Environment for ProLiant servers can be found in the white paper

• Storage support expanded through integrated XP array support
• Enhanced recovery through extended distance storage environments
• Metropolitan distances up to 200km (EVA, XP)
• Continental distances beyond 200km (XP)
• Larger recovery environments supported with increased number of protected logical servers (250+)
• More flexible storage support by allowing storage and logical server recovery to be managed separately
• Support for Microsoft Hyper-V virtualized environments (Technology Preview)

The recovery management capabilities are included in HP Insight Dynamics suite for Proliant servers
