The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) is backing up its virtualisation strategy with the implementation of virtualised disaster recovery from Vizioncore.

The charity, which currently runs about 70 servers across 20 UK sites, wanted to be able to take an image of a virtual server while it makes changes in a testing environment.

The charity embarked on a virtualisation strategy three years ago, when it began using VMware’s ESX server product. Mike Courtney, senior systems engineer at RSPB, said server virtualisation has been a success.

Very cool, they’re talking about implementing a virtual disaster recovery infrastructure, this can be a very effective way of reducing your DR hosting costs, reducing those 70 servers to 8 or 9 rack mounts would save a great deal of power, space and hardware maintenance.
