In this episode of the Virtually Speaking Podcast, hosts Pete Flecha and John Nicholson sit down with Glenn Sizemore from NetApp live at VMware Explore 2025 to discuss NetApp Disaster Recovery, a SaaS service within the BlueXP portfolio designed specifically for VMware workloads.
 
Glenn explains how the service delivers disaster recovery that feels a lot like Site Recovery Manager (SRM) — but built exclusively for NetApp systems. Leveraging SnapMirror for data transport and array-based offloads, the service provides:


A guided wizard for building replication plans


Easy configuration of mappings between data centers


Support for existing or new SnapMirror relationships


Non-disruptive test failovers using FlexClone technology


Fast failover execution in as little as 5–10 minutes


 
Pricing is capacity-based (about $0.03 per GB/month, or ~$368 per TB/year) — avoiding traditional per-VM licensing.
 
Currently, NetApp Disaster Recovery supports on-prem to on-prem, and on-prem to EVS or VMC on AWS, with Azure and Google Cloud support in development.
 
👉 Learn how this service simplifies disaster recovery for VMware environments while reducing costs and complexity.
