First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining disaster recovery capacity, comprising:
- receiving, by a simulation hypervisor, streaming metric data from a primary site, the streaming metric data representing a current production workload of the primary site;
simulating, by the simulation hypervisor, a recovery event on a backup site by combining the metric data with production data of the backup site; and
performing disaster planning based on the simulating.

Abstract
An approach is provided for determining disaster recovery capacity. A simulation hypervisor receives streaming metric data, which represents the current production workload of a primary site, from the primary site. The metric data is combined with production data of the backup site by the simulation hypervisor to simulate a recovery event. Using data from the simulating, disaster recovery planning can be performed.
