Intended Audience
This book is intended for developers who need to set up their environment to program applications with the
Site Recovery Manager API. SRM developers typically include programmers using the Java or C# language
and libraries to perform replication, failover, and reprotection of virtual machines in VMware vSphere.
SRM developers should have some familiarity with the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and the
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) for transmitting XML across the network. However the important
interfaces are completely visible in Java or C# code.
