VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (VCDR) is a disaster recovery solution that allows organizations to cost-effectively protect their workloads in the event of an unexpected disruption. It enables customers to replicate their on-premises workloads to the VMware Cloud on AWS, and also provides the ability to test and failover to the cloud in the event of a disaster.
VCDR offers several benefits, such as:
Cost-effective disaster recovery: by replicating on-premises workloads to the cloud, customers can avoid the high costs associated with building and maintaining a secondary on-premises site.
Flexibility: VCDR allows customers to choose the recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) that best meet their needs.
Simplified testing: VCDR allows customers to test their disaster recovery plan without disrupting production workloads.
Seamless integration: VCDR integrates with VMware vSphere, vSAN, and NSX, making it easy for customers to use the same tools and processes they use on-premises.
VCDR is built on VMware’s software-defined data center (SDDC) platform, which provides a consistent infrastructure and management across on-premises and cloud environments. This allows customers to easily move their workloads back and forth between environments as needed.
In summary, VCDR is a powerful disaster recovery solution that enables organizations to protect their critical workloads in the event of a disaster by replicating them to the VMware Cloud on AWS. It offers cost-effective, flexible and easy-to-use features, and it’s integrated with VMware’s SDDC platform which allows for a seamless transition between environments.
