Do we still need VMware (SRM) Site Recovery Manager?

Many VMware admins want to replicate virtual machines (VMs), mirroring them to another location in case the primary storage fails. Before vSphere 5.1, this meant buying VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) or a third-party tool. VSphere 5.1 features a limited version of replication -- vSphere Replication -- that's missing some of SRM's features. VSphere Replication needed its own patch to fix two issues: one with installation and the other with recovering VMs at a secondary site.
Shared-nothing live migration, which is a related feature of vSphere 5.1, is part of VMware's roadmap for SRM and Replication. Shared-nothing live migration will play a role in SRM's integration with vCloud Director and disaster recovery to cloud service providers. In the 2013 vSphere update, look for more features around policy-based disaster recovery and integration between vSphere Data Recovery, VMware High Availability and SRM.
