Disaster Recovery:

OverDrive affords the ability to define an unlimited number of ‘response scenarios’ to any type of potential outage or emergency. Special DR policies can be created and set to a ‘pending’ state where they will remain until activated with a single keystroke. Upon activation, these DR policies can implement fundamental changes in the network in a matter of seconds. If necessary, DR policies can even reconfigure entire logical networks, topologies and critical access to key applications and services.

Network Virtualization:

One of the largest issues facing large VMware deployments is the enormous amount of operational time and labor IT organizations spend constructing and modifying network-level connectivity to support virtual devices. This is especially true for companies with very fluid environments where virtual devices are being added or moved regularly between physical locations or network segments.  OverDrive provides the answer to this problem by virtualizing the network itself. Using OverDrive, IT network engineers create and define policies that control and manage the underlying network infrastructure services in relation to VMware resources.
