Claim 9:
10. An apparatus for managing virtual machine failover, comprising:
a processor;
memory coupled with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
establish a partition within a virtual data storage infrastructure that includes a first data center and a second data center that is geographically separated from the first data center, wherein the partition establishes groups of hosts of the virtual data storage infrastructure into a first host group that is managed by a first data management platform for the first data center and a second host group that is managed by a second data management platform for the second data center;
replicate a full snapshot and one or more incremental snapshots of a virtual machine from the first data management platform to the second data management platform, wherein the virtual machine is migrated from a first host of the first host group to a second host of the second host group upon a failover event occurring at the first data center;
link a first instance of the virtual machine that was replicated from the first data management platform and a second instance of the virtual machine that is managed by the second data management platform upon the failover event occurring at the first data center; and
capture an incremental snapshot of the virtual machine by the second data management platform.
