Site Recovery jobs can be easily created through an <strong>intuitive GUI<\/strong> and for different scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>This new capability brings several benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Orchestrate and automate DR<\/strong>: VMs state is <strong>continuosly verified<\/strong> by Nakivo sending a notification if a VM is unreacheable. The most suitable Site Recovery job can be run in few steps.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create multiple Site Recovery jobs<\/strong>: un <strong>unlimited number<\/strong> of Site Recovery jobs can be created to serve different purposes. A specific job can be created for a specific scenario.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Test and update existing Site Recovery jobs<\/strong>: to ensure that a Site Recovery job can be used successfully when a failure occurs, it should be <strong>tested on a regular basis<\/strong> to verify its integrity and recoverability. Tests\u00a0<strong>run in an isolated environment<\/strong>\u00a0without disrupting the production environment. You have also the option to <strong>modify the job<\/strong> to meet specific requirements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Meet your RTO<\/strong>: when implementing a DR plan, the expectations in terms of RTO must be <strong>supported by the target infrastructure<\/strong> to avoid unforeseen difficulties. Every Site Recovery can be tested to verify the target meets the RTO set.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Decrease TCO<\/strong>: the Site Recovery feature allows to <strong>automate the verification process<\/strong>\u00a0of recoverability ensuring the required resilience of the infrastructure saving time, effort and costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Site Recovery job configuration<\/h2>\n<p>The creation of a Site Recovery job is done through the wizard launched from the dashboard.
