VMware Live Cyber Recovery is VMware's just-in-time disaster and ransomware recovery service that is delivered as an easy-to-use Software as a Service (SaaS) solution and offers cloud economics to help keep your disaster and ransomware recovery costs under control.
You can use VMware Live Cyber Recovery to protect vSphere virtual machines (VMs) by replicating them to the cloud and recovering them, as needed, to a target Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) on VMware Cloud on AWS. You can also use VMware Ransomware Recovery to leverage your recovery SDDC as an isolated recovery environment (IRE) to analyze and repair infected VMs, and then recover them to a production environment.
Intended Audience
This information is intended for anyone who wants to protect their vSphere site with the VMware Live Cyber Recovery service on VMware Cloud on AWS. The information is written for experienced vSphere system administrators who are familiar with virtual machine technology and data center operations.
