What differentiates VMware Live Recovery from other similar products?

VMware Live Recovery differs from comparable products in the following ways: Unified Protection: Utilize fully automated orchestration at scale and a single management interface to safeguard and recover virtual machines (VMs) across public and on-premise clouds.

VMware Live Recovery's unified protection, accelerated recovery, simplified consumption, and on-demand recovery environment are among my best features. Because of these characteristics, VMware Live Recovery is a complete cyber- and data-resilience solution.

The only problem I see with VMware Live Recovery is that it requires a substantial investment, particularly for large-scale environments.

It is an excellent product with great dependability that assures you of the best features and services.

FOUR EYES principle Require 2 administrators to approve changes

Virtual Machine Backup Automatically discovers and protects VMs as they come online, move, and change. Production VMs are replicated to a secondary data store.

Replication for High Availability Beyond secondary copy backup, the solution also manages replication of primary data host-to-host and site-to-site for live failover and high availability.

Backup of Cloud Based Data In addition to targeting backups to the cloud, the solution also has the capability to back up primary data and services already in the cloud.

Backup Automation Solution automates backup, recovery and remediation tasks using RestAPI and CLI to integrate with 3rd party solutions, reduce cost and enforce standards.

Backup Monitoring and Reporting Backup and replication are continually monitored for status and effectiveness. Detailed reporting is available on successful and unsuccessful operations.

Deduplication Implementation Deduplication of redundant data blocks is implemented by the solution. Deduplication can be at source, target, or globally (source and target).

Replication for Long Term Storage and Disaster Recovery Onsite backup data is replicated and stored to a public cloud (AWS, Azure). Can also include restore-to-cloud capabilities for Disaster Recovery as a Service.

Analytics Built-in real-time and historical reporting and analytics on SLAs, performance, and resource consumption, as well as predictive capabilities to plan & optimize.

Application Awareness Application consistent backup and granular restore for application data from core applications such as MS SQL, Oracle, MS Exchange, MS SharePoint.

File Explorer Granular Restore Individual files can be located and restored from backup media without the need for full system mounting and restore.
