Abstract
Transferring an application from a first site to a second site includes determining that the second site is a destination site for the application, causing writes by the application at the first site to be propagated semi-synchronously to the second site, transferring storage data from the first site to the second site, suspending operation of the application on the first site, and resuming operation of the application on the second site. The application may be a virtual machine or a host cluster capable of transitioning applications between cluster nodes. The virtual machine may be transferred from the first site to the second site by transferring an image of the virtual machine from the first site to the second site. The destination site may be selected by a user. The second site may be located remotely from the first site across an asynchronous distance.
