Cloud Computing breaks down into three main “Service Offerings” or “Service Pillars”. Which are Infrastructure, Platform and Application.

The following “as a Service” terms are used to describe these Service Pillars, which also describes the advantages of “Cloud” computing.

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) [Compute and Storage]
• Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• Software as a Service (SaaS)

So, the key terms to describe ”Cloud” Computing is:

• as a Service – This describes converting traditional IT to Self Service, Pay-per-use models and allot more benefits.. You can read more about the benfits of Cloud Computing in my articles filed under “Cloud” - http://virtualizationandstorage.wordpress.com/category/cloud/
• Service Pillars - This relates to, what part of the OSI model is managed by the cloud provider and what part is consumed by the customer..

XenServer Site Recovery – Provide site-to-site disaster recovery planning and services for virtual environments

• Simple and Reliable Set Up - Using the step-by-step Site Recovery wizards and StorageLink capabilities customers can quickly initiate remote data replication between arrays and automate the ongoing syncing of primary and secondary VM configurations.
• Fast Recovery & Failback - Once the data and VM’s have been replicated to the secondary datacenter, Site Recovery provides single click failover for protected applications ensuring key IT services are back up and running quickly.
• Unlimited Testing  - Site Recovery allows the user to stage frequent tests in an isolated virtual environment without disrupting ongoing operations. This helps to ensure disaster recovery plans remain valid.

Before designing any DR solution you must agree to RPO and RTO with your CEO and CFO. You also need to select the workloads and applications to protect. Consider the following:

XenServer 6.0 Feature Matrix

What’s New

• XenServer 6 Configuration limits - http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX131047
• Integrated Site Recovery (Disaster Recovery) – Remote data replication between storage arrays with fast recovery and failback capabilities. Integrated Site Recovery replaces StorageLink Gateway Site Recovery used in previous versions, removes the Windows VM requirement, and works with any iSCSI or Hardware HBA storage repository.
• Integrated StorageLink – Access to use existing storage array-based features such as data replication, de-duplication, snapshot and cloning. Replaces the StorageLink Gateway technology used in previous editions and removes requirement to run a Windows VM with the StorageLink components.
• GPU Pass-Through – Enables a physical GPU to be assigned to a VM providing high-end graphics. Allows applications to leverage GPU instructions in XenDesktop VDI deployments with HDX 3D Pro.
• Virtual Appliance Support (vApp) –  Ability to create multi-VM and boot sequenced virtual appliances (vApps) that integrate with Integrated Site Recovery and High Availability. vApps can be easily imported and exported using the Open Virtualization Format (OVF) standard.
• Rolling Pool Upgrade Wizard –  Simplify upgrades (automated or semi-automated) to XenServer 6.0 with a wizard that performs pre-checks with a step-by-step process that blocks unsupported upgrades.
• Microsoft SCVMM & SCOM Support –  Manage XenServer hosts and VMs with System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) 2012. System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) 2012 will be also able to manage and monitor XenServer hosts and VMs. System Center integration is available with a special supplemental pack from Citrix. For more information refer to the Microsoft System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager page.
• Distributed Virtual Switch Improvements –  New fail safe mode which allows Cross-Server Private Networks, ACLs, QoS, RSPAN and Netflow settings to still be applied to a running VM in the event of vSwitch Controller failure.
• Increased Performance and Scale –  Supported limits have been increased to 1 TB memory for XenServer hosts, and 16 virtual processors and up to 128 GB virtual memory for VMs. Improved XenTools with smaller footprint.
• Networking Improvements – Open vSwitch is now the default networking stack in XenServer 6.0 and now provides formal support for Active-Backup NIC bonding.
• VM Import & Export Improvements – Full support for VM disk and OVF appliance imports directly from XenCenter with the ability to change VM parameters (virtual processor, virtual memory, virtual interfaces, and target storage repository) with the Import wizard. Full OVF import support for XenServer, XenConvert and VMware.
• SR-IOV Improvements – Improved scalability and certification with the SR-IOV Test Kit. Experimental SR-IOV with XenMotion support with Solarflare SR-IOV adapters.
• Simplified Installer – Host installations only require a single ISO.
• Enhanced Guest OS Support – Support for Ubuntu 10.04 (32/64-bit). Updated support for Debian Squeeze 6.0 64-bit, Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.0 (32/64-bit) and SLES 10 SP4 (32/64-bit). Experimental VM templates for CentOS 6.0 (32/64-bit), Ubuntu 10.10 (32/64-bit) and Solaris 10.
• Workload Balancing Improvements. New, ready-to-use Linux-based virtual appliance with a smaller footprint replaces the Windows-based virtual appliance and eliminates the Windows licensing dependency.
• XenDesktop Enhancements –  HDX enhancements for optimized user experience with virtual desktops, GPU Pass-Through, and increased VM and XenServer host limits.
• VM Protection & Recovery – Now available for Advanced, Enterprise and Platinum Edition customers.
• NFS Support for High Availability – HA Heartbeat disk can now reside on a NFS storage repository.
• XenCenter Improvements – XenCenter operations now run in parallel, and XenCenter will be available in Japanese and Simplified Chinese (ETA Q4 2011).
• Host Architectural Improvements – XenServer 6.0 now runs on the Xen 4.1 hypervisor, provides GPT support and a smaller, more scalable Dom0.

More details on this release can be found in the XenServer 6.0 Product Documentation.
