One of the newly revamped technologies to come out of the vSphere 5 suite announced this week at VMworld is Site Recovery Manager 5 (SRM5)

This is an anxiously awaited upgrade after the success from SRM with vSphere 4.

I’ll cut right to the chase though. The biggest new feature to me in the Automatic Fail-back. That’s right, automatic fail-back.

This coupled with the newly announced VXLAN (VMware’s new extensible LAN networking) brings home the idea that gone are the days of having to re-ip everything in case of a disaster.

In addition to all this VMware announced that with vSphere 5, vSphere Replication. Which allows you to replicate your VMs with just the SRM licensing.

Exciting things coming out of VMworld!
