Examples can include (1) identifying, on a network, a source node and a destination node, the source node including at least one source node virtual machine (“VM”) to be replicated as a destination node VM on the destination node, (2) performing a full synchronization by copying disks used by the source node VM in a current operational state to the destination node VM, (3) scheduling start times for multiple update synchronizations of changed data between the source node VM and the destination node VM, the start times being scheduled at different time intervals, wherein a first time interval is greater than a second time interval, and (4) performing, at a switch-over time, a shutdown of the source node VM and transmitting data changes that are pending on the disk to the destination node. Various corresponding systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media are also disclosed.
