VMware adds disaster recovery (DR) capability to the vCloud Hybrid Service with Disaster Recovery, a cloud-based service the company claims is simple to set up and costs a "fraction" of the cost and complexity of alternative solutions.
VMware vCloud Hybrid Service - Disaster Recovery (to give the full name) continuous replicates virtual machines to a virtual data centre, with a recovery point objective (RPO) ranging from 15 minutes to 24 hours.
It features self-service asynchronous replication, failover and fallback, with remote management, monitoring and production-level support.
"Typically, DR services require expensive professional services to install and manta," the company says. "With the VMware solution, the data and applications are simply mirrored in vCloud Hybrid Service, ready to go whenever trouble strikes, and with the benefits of a cloud-based economic model."
The service is available now in all vCloud Hybrid Service data centers in the US and UK.
