Hi Adrin, Vision solutions Double-take solution can works on agent base also where you don't need VRA. so you can create VM in ACS and install agent in it. then you can start replication but still there can be complications if you are using advanced networking and IP NAT.
We have also done some research in the same area and we have found that currently not any replication tool support cloudstack or any open source orchestration. Veeam has a solution for integration for service provider with VMware. the same veeam model is been devloped by Avnet BaaS offerings. Let us know if you can find any solution for cloudstack.

I’m assuming that trying to create a fully open source solution is not feasible and am looking to evaluate Vision Solutions’ Double-Take Cloud Protection and Recovery product. I’m wondering if anyone knows of any other solutions that would work nicely with ACS (i.e. client self-service, handling the import of a VM into ACS, WAN ‘optimised’ communications etc). From what I can tell, the main problem with most commercial solutions is that they assume that they have direct control of the hypervisors, bypassing ACS completely, and as such would result in creating a VM that ACS would then not be able to see or therefore manage. They also seem to assume that there’s a private network between the source and target systems which can be an issue with multi-tenancy and overlapping IPs between tenants. I’m initially looking for Xenserver support as well which seems to be the ugly duckling when it comes to backup and replication – most of the commercial solutions concentrate on VMware and then Hyper-V. Does anyone have any experience with either the Double-Take or any other solutions that they’d care to share? Anyone know of any yet-to-be-released solutions that might fit the bill? Many thanks, Adrian
