In my previous blog post, I have explained about VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (VCDR) Solution. In this post, I will cover how you can subscribe to the solution, benefits, and Onboarding procedure.
VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery offers on-demand disaster recovery, delivered as an easy-to-use SaaS solution, with cloud economics. It combines cost-efficient cloud storage with simple SaaS-based management for IT resiliency at scale. Customers benefit from consistent VMware operations across production and DR sites and a ‘pay when you need’ failover capacity model for disaster recovery (DR) resources. VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery can protect a very broad set of IT services in a cost-efficient manner, with fast recovery capabilities (On-demand DRaaS).

VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery Pricing
VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery pricing is very flexible it is a combination of a per-TiB charge based on the protected storage capacity and a per virtual machine charge based on the number of protected VMs (total price = $/TiB + $/VM). To use the offering, you must purchase a committed term subscription for either a 1- or 3-year term for the per-TiB part (for a minimum quantity of 10 TiB).
