Simple and low cost

simplicity

Easy-to-implement templates to simplify your VMware DR plan management.

Low Cost

Support for a cloud-based DR target avoids the need to fully provision dedicated alternative infrastructure at a secondary location which substantially lowers costs.

storage efficiency

Highly efficient block-level, incremental-forever NetApp Snapshot™ copies reduce your storage, networking, and costs. 

Lower risk

Less disruption, faster recovery

  • Running a VMware environment at the recovery target means less disruption when disaster strikes. 
  • Thousands of NetApp customers trust SnapMirror to provide timely and successful recovery.
  • Testing failover is easy and nondisruptive.
Non-disruptive testing

High performance

Faster replication and updates:

  • SnapMirror speeds up the replication process with efficient deduplication, compression, and compaction storage.
  • Snapshot copies are incremental forever.
  • Block-level replication updates your DR copy faster because it updates only changed data in 4KB blocks, not entire files.
