DCS Receives ‘VMware Disaster Recovery as a Service Powered’ Status

virtualDCS today announced that its unique CloudCover™ Continuity service has attained the VMware Disaster Recovery as a Service™ (DRaaS) Powered status.

A well-defined Disaster Recovery strategy is essential for organisations that want to minimise downtime, protect critical data, and maintain operational continuity in the event of equipment failure, cyber incidents, or unexpected disruption. Without a robust plan in place, even short periods of downtime can result in financial loss, reputational damage, and operational instability.

CloudCover™ can help firms save money on their DR solution by using the subscription-based service instead of making capital investments into physical infrastructure. With CloudCover™, companies can also take advantage of high availability and comprehensive support services.

Achieving VMware DRaaS Powered status means CloudCover™ is officially recognised within VMware’s ecosystem as a Disaster Recovery service built on VMware technology. This designation makes it easier for organisations to identify trusted providers that meet VMware’s standards for DRaaS capabilities and technical alignment.

“For the last eight years, we have been offering our innovative Disaster Recovery solutions to customers, and we’re thrilled that our efforts have been recognised by VMware. We’re hopeful that our inclusion on the portal will help spread awareness of our unique offering,” said John Murray, Operations Director at virtualDCS.

VMware DRaaS Powered status is backed by VMware vCenter™ Site Recovery Manager™, the industry-leading solution that enables application availability and mobility across sites in private cloud environments.

VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager is an automation solution that operates with an underlying replication technology to provide policy-based management, non-disruptive testing and automated orchestration of recovery plans. This provides simple and reliable recovery of virtual machines between sites with minimal or no downtime.
