Azure VMware Solution
Cost-effectively meet disaster recovery and business continuity needs for your native VMware workloads using the speed, scale, and high availability of Azure.
Cost-Optimized Disaster Recovery for AVS
Combine the economics and scalability of Azure Blob Storage and ANF with the trusted platform of the Azure VMware Solution.
Continuous Data Protection
Alleviate the risk of data loss and ensure more rapid recovery with continuous data replication.
Cost-Effective
Replicate and store all data in cost-effective Azure blob storage or ANF for mission critical VMs. No compute is required in the recovery site until the disaster event.
Ease of Use
Available to download from the Azure Marketplace, installs in minutes, and configured for automated billing.
The Complete Solution for Data Protection and Disaster Recovery
Avoid agent software in the protected environment, seek lower costs through blob storage, and failover into the Azure VMware Solution with the assurance of the reliable, scalable Azure infrastructure.
Near Zero RPO
Replicate all VM data in real time for continuous data protection, ensuring minimal data loss.
Simple Installation
Easily downloaded from Microsoft Marketplace and installed as a standard VMware plug-in.
Near Zero RTO
Recover and run VMs in minutes to ensure minimal downtime and continuous business operations.
Live Failback
Returns VMs to the protected site from Azure VMware Solution without interruption to VMs’ operation or protection.
Non-Disruptive Testing
Test anytime as often as you need to ensure your DR plan works. Failover and failback without service disruption.
Scalable Deployment
JetStream DR software components can scale out-linearly across a protected cluster to handle increased I/O as more VMs are added and protected.

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers.
What versions of VMware vSphere does JetStream DR support?
JetStream DR can be used to protect environments running VMware vSphere versions 6.5, 6.7, 7.0 or 8.0.
What datastore types can JetStream DR protect?
JetStream DR can protect VMs running on any VMware-compatible datastore type, including SAN, NAS, Virtual Volumes (VVOLs), Virtual SAN (vSAN) and third-party HCI platforms including Nutanix, Cisco HyperFlex, etc.
Does JetStream DR for AVS require Azure Blob Storage?
When used with AVS, Azure Blob Storage is used for storing VMs and data. Azure NetApp Files is recommended for mission critical workloads to enable near zero recovery time.
What is needed to use JetStream DR for AVS?
If protecting VMs running in your data center (outside AVS) you will follow these steps to get started:
- Deploy a JetStream management server OVA file and register it with vCenter.
- Configure object storage (Azure Blob storage).
- Create a DR Virtual Appliance and configure the DR Store.
- Install the IO Filter VIB on the cluster.
- Create a Protected Domain and protect VMs.
If protecting VMs running in AVS you will follow these steps to get started:
