Customer Testimonials
DRaaS Offers Groundbreaking Capabilities in Disaster Recovery
Failproof Cloud DR for All VMware Workloads
Get failproof DR with instant RTO for all of your VMware workloads wherever they’re running – SAN, NAS or HCI systems – plus automatic failover from an SDDC in one Availability Zone (AZ) to another AZ. All your DR plans get continuous compliance checks every 30 minutes, ensuring that your DR plan is going to work when you actually need it.
10x More Cost-Efficient DR
Backups are forever incremental, encrypted, deduped, and stored efficiently in S3. You only pay for VMware Cloud SDDC when you actually need it in a failover event. Failback results in minimal AWS egress charges by transferring only changed and globally deduplicated data.
Instant RTO Restart from Recent Snapshots or Deep Backups on S3
Easily restart instantly from recent snapshots or backups that are months or years old. With converged backup and DR, you have millions of point-in-time consistent recovery points to choose from, so you can quickly restore your entire data center. That can be critical for ransomware attacks, which often only become apparent months after the initial event. Achieve instant RTO with zero copy and no rehydration as ESX hosts directly mount a live NFS datastore hosted in AWS.
Continuous Compliance and Efficient DR
Achieve failproof DR for lower business risk. ControlShift automatically checks your plan for health and compliance every 30 minutes, so you can be confident your DR plan is going to work when you need it. Built-in audit reports help you meet your compliance objectives.
Consistent Operating Environment On Premises and in the Cloud
Simplify the management of your cloud, on-premises, and DR sites. VMware DRaaS maintains VMs in their native vSphere format and eliminates the need for brittle and time-consuming VM disk format conversions. Manage both your cloud DR site and production sites with vCenter and retain access to familiar abstractions such as clusters, resource pools, data stores, virtual switches, and port groups following a failover.
Your Complete Solution
With VMware DRaaS, you get a complete solution that delivers comprehensive support, simplified purchasing, and billing. Eliminate the cost and friction caused by multiple point products. You get everything you need for fail-proof on-demand DR to the public cloud in one solution. And you can work with our DRaaS-Select partners.
DRaaS for Edge Environments
Modern data protection and DR for remote offices / branch locations (ROBO). It enables enterprises to store backups both locally and in the cloud, giving them the choice of recovery path based on WAN bandwidth. Get SaaS-simple, centralized deployment and management plus global backup and DR – regardless of where the data resides.
