VMware Disaster Recovery
VMware Disaster Recovery is a cloud-based disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) solution that provides automated failover and failback for VMware workloads. It leverages VMware Cloud on AWS to replicate virtual machines from on-premises data centers to the cloud, ensuring business continuity during outages. The platform offers orchestrated recovery plans, non-disruptive testing, and simplified management through the VMware Cloud Console.
Developers and IT teams should use VMware Disaster Recovery when they need to protect critical VMware-based applications and data from site failures, natural disasters, or cyberattacks. It is particularly valuable for organizations with strict recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs), as it enables rapid failover to the cloud with minimal downtime. Use cases include safeguarding enterprise applications, virtual desktops, and databases hosted on VMware vSphere environments.
