Disaster Recovery Datacenter’s Architecture on Network Replication Solution

Abstract

As the importance of network connectivity for organizations’ operations in connecting their services and business units’ increases, the need for backup sites with robust network infrastructure is crucial to achieve their business goals. To reduce cost and ease manageability and control, most organizations build one backup site. However, some organizations tend to establish multiple backup sites that host computing resources to mitigate outages that might impact their business functions and critical services. The goal of replicating network infrastructure of the backup site is to provide high availability and to ensure that critical services continue running during any event or interruption. This paper describes our experience in designing, implementing and validating network infrastructure redundancy for a disaster recovery site. In addition, it shows how the disaster recovery solution for a network infrastructure was implemented to meet the recovery objectives based on well-defined requirements and guided principles. The result proves reliability and robustness of the implemented network replication solution.
