It provides simplified onboarding and ensures the continuous availability of VMware vSphere workloads and automates recovery operations.\n\nWith the advanced Retention Policy, businesses can gain more control over replication cycles and the built-in DR &amp; migration plans help sequence and time failover. It is a pervasive multi-tenant self-service cloud infrastructure control plane for cloud providers’ service-delivery needs.\n\nThe replicator service, manager service, cloud service, and tunnel service operate together to support the replication management, secure communication, and storage of the replicated data. Cloud providers can support recovery for multiple tenant environments that can scale to handle increasing loads for each tenant and for multiple tenants.\n\nIn an on-premises environment, Replicator Service and a preconfigured instance of Tunnel Service support replication management by using both the VMware Cloud Director Availability vSphere Client Plug-In and the VMware Cloud Director Availability Tenant Portal, dedicated to tenants.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/c31db324-86f8-496c-93ab-7233709cfa11.png","url":"https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/360132/vmware-cloud-director-availability","@id":"https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/360132/vmware-cloud-director-availability#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.softwareadvice.ie/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.8,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":81},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Apple, Windows, Linux, Windows on premise, Linux on premise, Chrome"},{"name":"NAKIVO Backup & Replication","description":"NAKIVO Backup &amp; Replication is a backup, ransomware protection, and site recovery solution for virtual, physical, cloud, and SaaS environments.
