A bad release starts deleting customer records. You roll it back. The code stops, the records don't come back, and the replica copied every deletion.
The pods were healthy the whole time.
Why Kubernetes needs backup and DR: rackwareinc.com/post/why-kub…
#Kubernetes #OpenShift
VMware pulled the VDDK from public download. If your migration or DR tool depends on it, that just became your problem.
RackWare replicates at the filesystem level, not the virtual-disk level, so it never touched us.

We took a running AI chat app off Oracle's OKE and brought it up on Google's GKE. Vector database, embeddings, model serving and the conversation state, restored in recovery order.
Users came back to their chat history still there: rackwareinc.com/post/your-ai…

What if the environment you keep for disaster recovery could do more than sit there waiting?
@IBMcloud and RackWare on using DR modernization as the first step into cloud.
DR First: Your Low-Risk Gateway to Modern IT

The session gets into the order it happens in. IBM Cloud VPC comes up as the DR target, you validate replication and recovery, and once it's proven dev and test can move onto it. Production comes last, if at all.
Stephanie Wing's blog post on it:

Snapshot storage on LVM and VSS sized so it does not bottleneck the sync. The antivirus exclusions a reliable DR sync cycle needs. Where to pull verbose logs when one fails anyway.

Restoring an enterprise environment from backup alone runs 3 weeks to 3 months, best case. That is the fallback plan sitting behind a lot of RTO commitments.
Part 5, on what DR testing and drills should actually cover: rackwareinc.com/post/evaluat…
#DisasterRecovery #BCDR
If your DR test ends at failover, the trip back has never been tested. Neither has the part where the application comes up clean and usable.
Wed Aug 19, 11am CEST and 1pm EDT. Non-disruptive fire drills, and what Operational Recovery actually measures: rackwareinc.com/rackware-aca…
Ask your vendor one question. After a network outage, does the sync resume where it left off, or start over?
RackWare's filesystem-level replication resumes on a migration, a DR sync, or a backup. Storage sector and VMDK approaches often start over.

Why are backup and Disaster Recovery still two separate line items?
The split made sense when someone had to physically drive tapes to the DR site. That constraint is gone. The habit isn't.
Part IV asks if it's time to converge them:

RackWare is hosting What Happens to Recovery After VMware? - Americas Session. Make sure to attend it on July 22. linkedin.com/events/whathapp…
Not all servers are equal. So why do most DR plans treat them like they are?
One blanket RPO/RTO across every workload drives up cost and can leave your least critical servers recovering first.
Part III of our DR Criteria series → rackwareinc.com/post/evaluat…
Most DR plans obsess over RPO and RTO.
The gaps that sink a recovery are the ones nobody planned for: where your DR site sits, and who's left to run it when production goes dark.
Part II → rackwareinc.com/post/dr-crit…
The data center refresh just got a lot more expensive.
📈 Server memory prices have tripled in the past year.
☁️ Cloud pricing? Largely unchanged.
If a 2026 data center refresh is in your budget, run the cloud numbers again first.

The reason Nutanix migrations slip isn't VMware.
It's the Hyper-V, KVM, and bare-metal workloads the team didn't scope on day one.
One platform, every source, into AHV and NC2.
How RackWare gets it done:

October 2027. Broadcom ends support for vSphere 8. That gives you 16 months.
A typical VMware migration takes 12 to 18 months.
Wait too long and you negotiate on Broadcom's timeline.

We are excited to announce our partnership with @optimalsols!
RackWare is proud to collaborate with a team that brings such deep expertise in Oracle technologies and enterprise digital transformation.
Looking forward to the success stories we will build together!

Most DR advice fixates on RPO and RTO. They're just 2 of the 12 criteria that decide whether your recovery actually works.
4 patents and 1M+ servers replicated taught us the other 10.

Companies are increasingly using hybrid cloud because of the numerous benefits it provides over relying on a single provider for all of their cloud needs.
