VMware Live Recovery: Faster, Stronger, and more Flexible with VMware Explore Las Vegas 2024 Announcements

As IT infrastructure managers and influencers, you understand the critical importance of protecting your organization’s data and applications from the ever-evolving landscape of threats. Ransomware, in particular, has become a pervasive and destructive force, demanding robust and innovative solutions.
At VMware Explore 2024 Las Vegas, we’re excited to unveil significant advancements in VMware Live Recovery, a comprehensive solution designed to safeguard your VMware Cloud Foundation environment from both ransomware attacks and traditional disasters.


Speed and Confidence in the Face of Adversity:
When ransomware attacks or disasters strike, speed and confidence are essential. VMware Live Recovery delivers both.


A Unified Approach to Cyber Resilience

VMware Live Recovery addresses both ransomware recovery and disaster recovery needs. By leveraging a combination of secure recovery mechanisms, east-west security, and hardened infrastructure, we ensure that your critical workloads are protected across your VMware vSphere environment.

Accelerated Recovery and Simplified Consumption

VMware Live Recovery delivers powerful cyber and data resiliency for VMware Cloud Foundation. It provides ransomware and disaster recovery in a unified management experience, accelerated recovery, and simplified consumption with flexible licensing across use cases and clouds.

Protecting Your VMware Environment

With VMware Live Recovery, you can protect your VMware environment to a variety of locations: your on-premises data center, a VMware Cloud on AWS environment, or within another hyperscaler. This ensures that you are shielded from a wide range of threats, including ransomware, hardware failures, and natural disasters.


Introducing New Features at VMware Explore Las Vegas 2024

  • vSAN Local Recovery
  • vSAN Remote Snapshot Replication
  • On-Premises Isolated Recovery Environment (IRE)

vSAN Local Recovery

Experience up to a 16x faster failback* from VMware Cloud on AWS by utilizing local VMware snapshots as the baseline for your restore process, only restoring the validated delta changes back to the restore destination. This translates to a 75% faster resolution to unplanned downtime, minimizing business disruption.**

vSAN Remote Snapshot Replication

Extend your local vSAN snapshot capabilities to deliver remote snapshots, enabling a deeper history of immutable snapshots (up to 200) and leveraging a unified appliance for management. This new feature provides remote vSAN to vSAN replication, enabling the following valuable outcomes:

  • Strengthened data resilience: A deeper history of immutable snapshots provides up to 200 points in time per VM for recovery.
  • Reduced downtime: Our deep experience in enterprise-grade DR orchestration ensures faster recovery times.
  • Simplified management: A unified appliance streamlines the management process.
  • Increased scalability and efficiency: Leverage the benefits of vSAN storage clusters for improved performance.

The On-Premises IRE Advantage

Enjoy the flexibility and choice of selecting VCF isolated clean rooms on-premises or in the cloud, ensuring data sovereignty and compliance. The newly announced On-Premises Isolated Recovery Environment provides Cyber Recovery wherever you want – in an isolated recovery environment housed in VMware Cloud on AWS, or for customers who want to keep their data in-house, on-premises. It features:

  • Flexibility and choice: Select VCF isolated clean rooms on-premises or in the cloud.
  • Data sovereignty: Preserve data sovereignty and ensure compliance with privacy and locality requirements.
  • Full stack integration: Unlock the value of VCF integrated cyber resilience to protect workloads anywhere.

A Fortress Against Ransomware and Disasters

VMware Live Recovery is your ultimate weapon against ransomware and disasters. With its powerful features and comprehensive approach, it provides the cyber and data resilience you need to protect your VMware Cloud Foundation environment.
