Disaster Recovery to Cloud 1
You can subscribe to a Disaster Recovery service to protect your vSphere workloads.
Disaster Recovery lets administrators of small sites to protect their vSphere virtual workloads from a wide
class of disasters by replicating those workloads into the cloud. Disaster Recovery uses the host-based
replication feature of vSphere Replication to copy the protected source virtual machines into the
infrastructure of the cloud provider. If a disaster occurs, the Disaster Recovery servers can convert the
replicated data into vApps and virtual machines in the cloud.
