VMware Cloud Director Availability

VMware Cloud Director Availability is a solution built to offer onboarding, migration, and disaster recovery services “to” or “between” multi-tenant VMware clouds.

Region

A region is a geographical area where Cloudist Solutions provides availability zones. Cloudist Solutions regions meet the highest levels of security, compliance, and data protection

Site

A site represents a VMware environment in the Cloudist Disaster Recovery console. Sites can be on-prem at a customer or partner location, or at Cloudist Solutions. Sites are the entry points where migrations, replications and failovers are moved to, from and between.

SLA Profiles

SLA profiles can be assigned to multiple VMware Cloud Director organizations to control the following SLA settings of the replications:

• The target recovery point objective (RPO)

• The retention policy for the point-in-time instances

• Whether quiescing is enabled

• Whether compression is enabled

• Timeslot to delay the initial synchronization

RPO

The target RPO is the longest tolerable timeframe of data loss. For example, with one hour RPO the recovered virtual machine can have no more than one hour of data lost.

Point in time instances

Point in time instances preserve multiple distinct replication instances to which the virtual machines can be recovered. These are effectively restore points that can be configured by:

• Preserve (instances): 1 - 24

• Spread evenly over : 1 day - 1 year
