Veeam® Disaster Recovery Orchestrator delivers a reliable, scalable and easy-to-use orchestration and automation engine that’s purpose-built for today’s business continuity/disaster recovery (BC/DR) needs. By eliminating manual testing and recovery processes that are inefficient, lengthy and error-prone, Veeam Disaster Recovery Orchestrator provides a planned, practiced and proven DR strategy — using replicas and backups — for more resilient IT operations.

• Skyrocket operational efficiencies
  Eliminate manual, repeatable processes with comprehensive orchestration and automation for one-click DR and migrations.
• Maximize service availability
  Meet application-specific SLOs while reducing spend with flexible, full support for replication and backup.
• Boost confidence in your DR plans
  Constantly validate recoverability and compliance of DR plans with fully automated, non-disruptive testing and documentation.

DR Pack is a new exciting packaging option where Veeam Disaster Recovery Orchestrator can be added on top of a new or previous purchase of either Veeam Availability Suite™ or Veeam Backup & Replication™ to ensure business continuity for all your VMs (not just the most-critical ones)!

With the price starting from $30 per VM, this is the simplest and most cost-effective BC/DR solution on the market!

The total number of purchased DR Pack licenses must match the total number of VMware vSphere VMs licensed in Veeam Availability Suite or Veeam Backup & Replication. For more information, please refer to our pricing or contact sales.
