About Resiliency Platform features and components

The following is a brief introduction to Veritas Resiliency Platform key components and their relationships. Administrators responsible for deploying and configuring the product need to understand these in more detail.

Resiliency Manager

The component that provides resiliency capabilities within a resiliency domain. It is composed of loosely coupled services, a distributed data repository, and a management console. The Resiliency Manager is deployed as a virtual appliance.

Infrastructure Management Server (IMS)

The component that discovers, monitors, and manages the asset infrastructure within a data center. The IMS transmits information about the asset infrastructure to the Resiliency Manager. The IMS is deployed as a virtual appliance.

To achieve scale, multiple IMSs can be deployed in the same data center.

Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager Management Server

The component that allows discovery of InfoScale applications that are already configured in Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager. Also referred to as Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager server.

You can manage the InfoScale applications that are already configured in Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager on Linux, Solaris, AIX as well as Windows platform.

See Managing InfoScale applications using Resiliency Platform.

Replication Gateway

The component of Veritas Resiliency Platform Data Mover that is deployed as a virtual appliance on both data centers and used to perform replication between the data centers.

resiliency domain

The logical scope of a Resiliency Platform deployment.

It can extend across multiple data centers.

data center

For a disaster recovery use case, the resiliency domain must contain at least two data centers in different locations, a production data center and recovery data center. Each data center has a Resiliency Manager and one or more IMSs.

asset infrastructure

The data center assets that you add to Resiliency Platform for discovery and monitoring by the IMS.

The asset infrastructure can include hosts (Windows or Linux servers), virtualization servers for Hyper-V and VMware, and enclosures (storage arrays). Once the asset infrastructure is discovered by the IMS, the discovered virtual machines or applications are listed in the console as assets to manage or protect.

resiliency group

The unit of management and control in Resiliency Platform. You organize related assets into a resiliency group and manage and monitor them as a single entity.

service objective

A template to define the type of operations and technologies that are supported for a group of assets. You apply a service objective to each resiliency group.

A template which identifies the characteristics of a service. These could be availability related characteristics such as local redundancy, and number of nodes in a cluster or DR characteristics such as remote recovery, Recovery Point Objective (RPO) SLAs, rehearsal support etc. Service objective is applied when a group of assets are being added to a resiliency group.

Resiliency Platform monitors the resiliency groups based on the service objective definition and raises the risks as applicable.

Virtual Business Service (VBS)

A multi-tier business service where each VBS tier hosts one or more resiliency groups. A VBS lets you group multiple services as a single unit for visualization, automation, and controlled start and stop in the desired order. VBS uses the vertical grouping mechanism to group the multiple services.You can also perform operations such as migrate, takeover, resync, rehearsal on the entire VBS.

For more information on the above components, refer to the Deployment Guide.
