Streamline Your Disaster Recovery
Disaster Recovery (DR) can feel daunting because there are many options and your organization’s viability depends on it. But with new resources and recent enhancements available for VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery, we provide more ways to streamline your DR-as-a-service (DRaaS) adoption journey.
If You Are Just Getting Started
If you are in the early stages of your DR project, start with the new Disaster Recovery step-by-step guide in the VMware Cloud Launchpad portal. This new guide helps you Learn, Plan and Try VMware Cloud DR to tailor it to your DR needs.
In addition, you can read up on how VMware Cloud DR could save you 60% lower DR total cost of ownership (TCO) and reduce your DR carbon footprint by up to 80% (or more). To do TCO calculations for your specific environment, there’s a new simple TCO calculator available too – it calculates the 3-year TCO for an on-premises DR solution compared to VMware Cloud DR.
New VMware Cloud DR Enhancements
The product team has also been hard at work to make DR easier.
Support for larger environments: We now support up to 2500 VMs per AWS region per VMware Cloud organization. You can split these VMs across multiple VMware Cloud DR file system instances or have them all running in 1 instance, depending on the size of your VMs.
Bring your existing recovery SDDCs: If you already use VMware Cloud on AWS, you can now utilize existing SDDC hosts/clusters for VMware Cloud DR testing and failover. Clusters and hosts added from the VMware Cloud console are automatically recognized by VMware Cloud DR.
Great news for our Italian customers: Ciao! We have added support for the AWS Europe (Milan) region, which totals to 17 AWS regions supported worldwide: 5 in North America, 6 in Europe, 4 in Asia, 1 in Australia, and 1 in South America.
