Migration from Virtual Snapshot Storage to Local Storage: RRP

Rapid Return to Production (RRP) creates a full production VM from a temporary VM that was created with Instant Virtualization. RRP makes the new production VM available for use in minutes, while Catalogic DPX transfers data behind the scenes, using VMware Storage vMotion to populate the selected datastore.

When migrating a temporary, test VM to a permanent VM, RRP can save many hours, or even days in the case of large data transfer over a slow connection.

Typically, you initiate RRP with a temporary VM only once, but you can schedule the start time of an RRP job.

Note. Most Instant Virtualization jobs are eligible for RRP processing. In those cases, RRP is utilized in the background to create a full VM, reducing time to production availability to a matter of minutes. Such jobs are called Full with RRP.

Full Virtualization jobs on Linux always run with RRP.

RRP requires VMware vMotion which is usually sold separately by VMware.
