Which VMware solution allows for rapid recovery of VMs in case of a failure?

Site Recovery Manager is designed specifically for disaster recovery processes within virtualized environments. It provides automation and orchestrates the disaster recovery of virtual machines (VMs) to ensure that business operations can quickly resume after a failure or outage. This solution allows organizations to create recovery plans that automate the process of recovering VMs, testing recovery strategies, and managing replication of data between primary and secondary sites.

The ability to swiftly failover to a secondary site or restore VMs minimizes downtime, which is crucial for maintaining business continuity. Site Recovery Manager integrates well with other VMware products, such as vSphere Replication, which provides the underlying data replication mechanism but does not handle the orchestration and automation of recovery processes on its own.

The other options serve various roles in managing virtual environments but do not specifically offer the same level of integration and automation for disaster recovery as Site Recovery Manager. For instance, while vSphere Replication is excellent for replicating VMs, it lacks the comprehensive recovery management capabilities that Site Recovery Manager provides. Data Protection offers backup solutions, and vSAN focuses on storage virtualization, neither of which directly ensure rapid recovery of VMs in the event of a failure like Site Recovery Manager does.
