VMware DR Solution: Recover with Confidence
VMware DR Orchestration
Streamline VMware disaster recovery activities across multiple sites. You can create multiple disaster recovery sequences, with each of them being configured to address potential disaster scenarios. By combining various actions and conditions into an automated algorithm, you can build DR workflows of any complexity. Actions can include source VM shutdown, final VM replication and network mapping, among others.
VMware vSphere VM Replication
Create replicas of VMware vSphere VMs and store them onsite or offsite for VMware DR purposes. Replicas of VMware vSphere VMs can be stored in a powered-off state at the DR site and updated in real time until you launch the VMware disaster recovery workflow. In the event of a disruption at the main site, you can quickly power on VM replicas and seamlessly shift critical workloads to the DR site, ensuring uninterrupted operations.
Consistent VMware vSphere VM Data
With replicas in app-aware mode for file servers and Microsoft applications (Exchange Server, SQL Server, Active Directory), data is immediately available as soon as the replica is powered on for failover. Create transactionally consistent VM replicas to ensure data consistency and seamless VMware disaster recovery even if the apps are in use during the replication workflow.
Guaranteed Recoverability
Set Instant Verification to ensure your replicas are ready for successful disaster recovery. NAKIVO Backup & Replication can automatically boot the VMware vSphere VMs as soon as the replication workflow is completed to check the availability of VMware Tools. After verifying that the guest OS has successfully booted, the solution powers off and reverts the replica to the latest recovery point.
Non-Disruptive DR Workflow Testing
The solution’s functionality allows non-disruptive DR testing, ensuring that you have a workable VMware disaster recovery plan that meets your organization’s recovery objectives.
Automated VM Failover
To streamline the VMware DR process, you can set up Network Mapping and Re-IP rules to automatically assign new networks and IP addresses to VM replicas after the failover. Once you are ready to return critical workloads to the production site, initiate the preset failback workflow with one click.

FAQ
What RPO and RTO can I expect with a VMware disaster recovery solution from NAKIVO?
With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, you can set VMware vSphere VM replication workflows to run as often as every minute, thus receiving one of the tightest RPOs possible. Or choose a point-in-time replica from a series of increments as low as 1 second apart with Real-Time Replication.
Up-to-date VM replicas are stored in a powered-off state at the VMware DR site, so recovering from a disaster is as simple as powering them on – delivering near-instant RTO.
Where can I store backups and replicas of my VMware vSphere VMs with NAKIVO Backup & Replication?
NAKIVO Backup & Replication allows you to diversify backup storages and avoid a single point of failure. Use the solution to store backup copies onsite, offsite, in public or private clouds (Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Wasabi, Backblaze B2 and other S3-compatible storage) or on tape. Store replicas onsite or send them to a dedicated remote DR site.
Can NAKIVO Backup & Replication replicate VMware vSphere VMs from backups?
Yes. The solution can start a replication workflow as soon as a backup workflow is successfully completed. Set up the process with Job Chaining to automate the required workflows and streamline data protection administration.
What ransomware protection features does NAKIVO Backup & Replication offer?
Send your backups and replicas to a VMware DR site and to different storage destinations to enhance the resilience of your IT infrastructure to ransomware. In addition, the NAKIVO solution offers anti-ransomware capabilities, including:
- Immutability for backups stored in a local Linux-based repository, cloud or NEC HYDRAstor deduplication appliance to protect data from encryption or deletion by ransomware.
- Pre-recovery malware scans to prevent ransomware infections from spreading into your production environment.
- AES-256 backup encryption at the source, during data transfer and in storage.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) and role-based access control (RBAC) to restrict unauthorized access to the solution and data protection activities.
What editions of NAKIVO Backup & Replication provide access to VMware DR functions?
