Case Study: Digital West achieves seamless, scalable cloud-to-cloud disaster recovery with VMware vCloud Availability

Digital West Delivers Disaster Recovery For Cloud Customers With Vmware Vcloud® Availability Cloud to Cloud

Digital West, a VMware-backed cloud service provider headquartered in San Luis Obispo, CA, needed a cost-effective, scalable disaster recovery (DR) offering for customers already using its public, private and hybrid clouds. Cloud-to-cloud failover and failback had been complex, manual, and cost-prohibitive, preventing the company from meeting aggressive RTOs, simplifying DR testing, and monetizing DR for multi-tenant customers.

Digital West deployed VMware vCloud Availability Cloud-to-Cloud DR integrated with vCloud Director and NSX, enabling seamless replication, self-service protection, and identical failover/failback workflows across data centers. The solution simplified management, scaled concurrent replications, freed engineering resources, allowed Digital West to monetize DR services, pursue larger customers, and give customers control over RPOs/RTOs — turning DR into a reliable, revenue-generating offering.
