Disaster recovery use cases

Easy Hybrid DR supports multiple recovery patterns from the same control plane:

  • On-premises to cloud disaster recovery
  • Cloud to cloud disaster recovery
  • Cross-region disaster recovery
  • Multi-cloud disaster recovery
  • Hybrid cloud disaster recovery
  • Full-site, partial-site, test, cross-cloud, and granular workload recovery

Workload mobility use cases

The same replication and recovery foundation also supports workload movement:

  • Cross-cloud migration
  • Data center evacuation
  • Cloud onboarding
  • Infrastructure modernization
  • Workload rebalancing

Enterprise workload patterns

Easy Hybrid DR is intended for server workloads that must recover predictably across infrastructure boundaries:

  • Application servers
  • Database servers
  • File servers
  • Web and application tiers
  • Multi-tier enterprise applications

Operational benefits

The platform is built around agentless, block-level replication and cross-platform recovery. This architecture helps teams reduce deployment friction, protect large workload sets, and recover using cloud-native storage and compute services instead of a separate recovery stack.

BenefitHow Easy Hybrid DR provides it
Lower workload impactAgentless replication avoids guest OS agents inside protected workloads.
Efficient replicationBlock-level incremental replication transfers changed blocks instead of full disks after the initial cycle.
WAN efficiencyRolling-window transport and parallel chunk streaming keep replication pipelines active across high-latency links.
Horizontal scaleAdditional replication nodes increase aggregate throughput and recovery concurrency.
Cloud-native recoveryRecovery workflows use AWS EBS snapshots and volumes, Azure Managed Disks, VMware APIs, and Nutanix APIs.
