Maximize Your Nutanix DR Strategy With Exclusive Expert Insights

By Jay Cardin |   Dec 17, 2024

Years ago, disaster recovery discussions focused primarily on whether it was necessary. Organizations looking for basic off-site data protection sought solutions that allowed for on-demand backup and retrieval of VMs from the remote location. However, remote replication doesn’t equate to disaster recovery. For true failover protection, you need a true Disaster Recovery solution option that allows VMs to operate directly from the remote site. Businesses now realize the difference and are implementing DR to preserve their business operations during a disrupting event.
