About esxReplicator

esxReplicator provides per VM replication for the VMware Infrastructure 3 environment. In physical infrastructures, disaster recovery solutions can be difficult and expensive to deploy and maintain, often requiring a high-level of expenditure on redundant equipment. With virtualization and esxReplicator, entire server environments can be encapsulated as virtual machines (VMs) and treated like files, allowing customers to establish cost-effective business continuity strategies.

Using esxReplicator 2.0, the entire VM can be replicated from many hosts to a single host and between different hardware platforms. Replication is performed on a per VM basis at the storage block level, which allows customers to replicate changes to the VM, including the level of allocated hardware resources, the operating system, applications and data.

Virtual Iron 3.1 was the winner and VMware ESX Server 2.0 was the other finalist in the Virtualization category.
