Tanzu to Nutanix NKP Disaster Recovery with RackWare SWIFT: Delta Replication, Failover and Fallback
This demo picks up after an initial Stage 1 plus Stage 2 sync between a VMware Tanzu source cluster and a Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) DR cluster, showing RackWare SWIFT's ongoing DR workflow in action. It covers a delta-only resync triggered automatically by the DR policy after new data is added on the source, verification of the replicated changes on the NKP target, a failover test to the DR cluster, fallback to restore the original Tanzu environment, and local backup

Broadcom Removed VDDK Downloads: What It Means for VMware Migration and DR
Published September 2, 2026 | Updated September 23, 2026 with sources and Broadcom's statement On or around August 25, 2026, the public download pages for VMware's Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK) stopped working. ShapeBlue documented the removal that day. There was no deprecation notice, no transition plan, and no stated replacement. A relatively technical issue in the VMware ecosystem has become a very real business problem for organizations trying to move and protect
Your AI Model Is Not Your AI Application
Protecting the full generative AI pipeline on Kubernetes and OpenShift with RackWare SWIFT If recovery brings back the model but loses the knowledge and state around it, the AI application is still down. A usable AI service is more than a model Generative AI gets attention at the model layer, but users experience an application. That application may combine an interface or API, enterprise content, retrieval, model serving, persistent data, security, networking, and Kubernetes

Evaluating DR Criteria - Part 5
Part V: DR Testing and Drills This is part 5 in a series of articles on understanding and addressing Disaster Recovery criteria. In this article we will discuss the often overlooked and neglected requirements and needs for DR drill and test. Part 1 was an introduction and overview. Part 2 covered the often overlooked personnel plan and site location. Part 3 explained the importance of application categorization to drive the correct RPO and RTO needs and the resulting impac
RackWare Academy: What's New In 7.7
RackWare RMM Version 7.7 represents significant improvements to how migration and disaster recovery (DR) workflows are structured, in addition to UI improvements and new features like Bulk Discovery, Auto-Provisioning, and DR Failover Groups.
RackWare Best in Class Solution
Why Filesystem-Level Replication Outperforms Storage Sector and VMDK Approaches RackWare employs a unique, patented, delta sync mechanism to execute Migration, DR, and backup operations that has the largest scope of use cases in the industry. It is a Filesystem mechanism, operating on used data, not a storage sector or VMDK based approach. Products that employ a storage sector or VMDK approach often have issues surrounding data consistency that prevents applications and serve
Evaluating DR Criteria - Part 4
Part IV: Backup Versus Disaster Recovery In Part 3 we addressed application categorization and its importance in assessing and determining optimal and economical RPO and RTO. I was originally going to address DR drills in Part 4 but after some consideration it's better to first discuss the dynamics of IT operations and how changes impact the DR plan, the DR configuration and product selection. Additionally, we’ll address the importance of understanding the difference betwee
Evaluating DR Criteria - Part 3
Part III: Not All Servers Are Equal In Part 2 we addressed DR site location and personnel plan and how these often under considered criteria can make or break the efficacy of your DR strategy. Now you've studied and understand your geographic risk and now understand the realistic and practical implications of your personnel plan. The next issues to address are application categorization and how that feeds into an intelligent plan for Recovery Point Objective (RPO), and Reco
