Cloud-based disaster recovery is one of the fastest-growing industry segments for cloud services. VMware vCloud Availability 3.0 will give cloud providers the ability to capitalize on that explosive demand and deliver increased choice to their end users.

Additionally, as enterprises increasingly implement a hybrid cloud strategy, vCloud Availability will provide an opportunity for VMware Cloud Provider partners to deliver simple, integrated migration and onboarding services to the cloud and from cloud-to-cloud. These solutions will be key for end users that want to lift and shift workloads into a proven, trusted cloud vSphere environment.

Simple, Cost-Effective Disaster Recovery and Migration

Part of the VMware Cloud Provider Platform, VMware vCloud Availability has been designed from the ground-up to dramatically simplify cloud onboarding, enable cost effective availability and recovery, and better secure operations to cloud providers and their end customers. The solution will integrate tightly with vCloud Director to offer disaster recovery, onboarding and migration with vCloud Director-based clouds.

The new solution has been built to help cloud providers offer a solution to end users of all sizes that is:

SIMPLE

Enjoy unified management built on familiar tools that combines the capabilities of three previous solutions: vCloud Availability for vCloud Director 2.0, vCloud Availability Cloud-to-Cloud DR 1.5, and vCloud Director Extender. The simplicity comes from a modern HTML-5 interface, native integration with vCloud Director, new rapid appliance deployment models, and a single role-based access control (RBAC) portal to tenants and service providers.

COST EFFECTIVE

Benefit from a subscription-based, competitively-priced solution designed with core features to minimize costs and tight integration to reduce operational costs. Additional flexibility and compelling economics will be delivered through storage independence from VMware vSphere Replication, tenant self-service protection, failover, and failback workflows, and granular per virtual machine or per-vApp control.

MORE SECURE

Confidently deploy a more secure solution thanks to built-in security capabilities of the VMware software stack, that includes built-in compression of replication traffic and TLS encryption end to end.
