Replication of workloads between two data centers
Continuous replication
Your business-critical systems are continuously replicated from your VMware environment to the Netstream Cloud, which thus becomes your second, geographically separate location. In active mode, they are already running there and take over immediately. In standby mode, they are started within a few minutes in an emergency.
Automated recovery
In the event of an outage, entire systems can be recovered automatically – including a predefined restart order and dependencies. Everything starts up in a controlled and traceable way.
Test runs without impact
Regular test scenarios check your recovery processes – without affecting your production environment. The procedures remain traceable, documented and realistic.
Recovery points as required
For each VM, you define how up to date the copy must be (RPO) and how long recovery points are retained.
Self-service in VMware Cloud Director
You set up the protection of your VMs yourself and can view the replication status at any time.
Network is preserved
Via a layer 2 stretch with NSX Edge, the replicated systems continue to run on the same network in the Netstream Cloud.
Simplified migration

The same replication also simplifies migrations to the Netstream Cloud. Your systems are replicated and tested during live operation before you switch over.

What does Workload Availability cost?

Fiduciary company with 10 employees and a digitalised workflow on Abacus.

A short circuit brings down the in-house server. Access to accounting data, payroll and the CRM is blocked. The last backup was created the evening before.

without Disaster Recovery

During the recovery, no client mandates can be processed, and invoicing and payments are delayed. Access to documents is interrupted and email traffic is restricted.

  • Loss of productivity: 3 days × 10 employees × CHF 800 = CHF 24’000
  • IT emergency call-out and data recovery = CHF 5’000
  • Missed tax deadlines = CHF 12’000
  • Reputational damage and loss of trust

Total damage

CHF 41’000

with Disaster Recovery

All 7 VMs are critical and are continuously replicated to the Netstream Cloud in standby mode. The customer starts the required servers in the cloud within a few minutes and simply continues working. The VMs in the Netstream Cloud remain active until the damage has been fully repaired.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does a failover work?
In an emergency, you start the replicated systems yourself in VMware Cloud Director. They then continue running in the Netstream Cloud, with network, access rules and storage.
How long does recovery take?
Depending on the scenario and configuration, the switchover can take place within a few minutes – with defined RTO/RPO targets.
What is Site Recovery?
Site Recovery automates the entire DR management – from initial setup to ongoing administration. Thanks to a policy-based approach and deep integration with VMware Cloud Foundation, even large environments can be controlled with a few clicks.
What is Cyber Recovery?
With Cyber Recovery, you store snapshots in a specially secured VMware cloud file system. This preserves the integrity of your data at the point of recovery – even in the event of targeted ransomware attacks. In addition, VMs are isolated from one another during the restore to prevent the lateral spread of malware.
What does automated orchestration in an emergency mean?
In an emergency, every minute counts. The integrated orchestration workflows restore your systems in the correct order and according to defined rules – quickly, reliably and without manual steps.
How can I test whether it works?
You can carry out planned test runs without affecting production. This way, you know that your DR strategy will work in an emergency.
What does Disaster Recovery cost?

In standby mode, you only pay a flat fee per VM plus the storage required. Additional costs for computing power and network only arise in a disaster, when your VM is actually started in the cloud.

In active mode, the VM resources are also taken into account.

Example calculations
How do I set up the Workload Availability Service?

You install the on-premises appliance in your VMware environment and connect it to the Netstream Cloud. You then create the protection for your VMs in VMware Cloud Director.
