DRaaS on pluscloud VMware
pluscloud VMware is the first VMware Sovereign Cloud with this DRaaS solution in Germany.
Specifications
The DRaaS solution is available on an on demand basis and can be purchased per virtual machine. The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is six hours. It describes the maximum allowable data loss and defines the maximum age of data in a backup that an organization can reasonably use in a disaster recovery situation. The RPO therefore defines the minimum number of backup cycles required.
Scenarios
With DRaaS on pluscloud VMware, two different disaster recovery scenarios can be implemented:
- On-premises to pluscloud VMware (to DUS)
- pluscloud VMware to pluscloud VMware (between CGN and DUS)
