Abstract
A first server in, for example, a primary datacenter, may be paired with a second server in, for example, a backup datacenter. The first server may include a first datastore, which includes a plurality of virtual machines, and the second server may include a second datastore. The first and second datastores may then be mapped to each other. The plurality of virtual machines included in the first datastore are then, without any user prompting, replicated at the second datastore. Therefore, when the first server becomes unavailable, the virtual machines included in the first datastore may still be accessible at the second server.
