Starting today, AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (DRS) is available in 5 additional Regions: Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Europe (Spain), Europe (Zurich), and Middle East (UAE).
Elastic Disaster Recovery is the recommended service for disaster recovery to AWS. It helps minimize downtime and data loss with fast, reliable recovery of on-premises and cloud-based applications using affordable storage, minimal compute, and point-in-time recovery. With Elastic Disaster Recovery, you can recover your applications on AWS from physical infrastructure, VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and cloud infrastructure. You can also use Elastic Disaster Recovery to recover Amazon EC2 instances in a different AWS Region.
Elastic Disaster Recovery replicates and recovers a wide range of applications, including critical databases such as Oracle, MySQL, and SQL Server, and enterprise applications such as SAP. It uses a unified process for drills, recovery, and failback, so you do not need application-specific skillsets to operate the service.
With this launch, Elastic Disaster Recovery is now available in 27 AWS Regions. See the AWS Regional Services List for the most up-to-date availability information.
