In their own words
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery recovers on-premises and cloud applications on AWS to reduce downtime and data loss. Recovery instances can launch within minutes from the latest server state or an earlier point in time. Afterward, replicated data can return to the primary site for failback, and non-disruptive recovery and failback drills can run while replication continues. Sources include physical infrastructure, VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and other cloud providers. Supported workloads run on supported Windows and Linux versions, including Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, and SAP. Recovery targets include EC2 instances in another Availability Zone or AWS Region. Point-in-time recovery can provide an operational copy from before a security incident. Replication uses TLS 1.2 in transit and can use Amazon EBS encryption at rest, with VPN, Direct Connect, or VPC peering for private connectivity. The service supports up to 300 servers in one staging account and up to 3,000 in one target account using multiple staging accounts. Pricing is $0.03 per month, billed $0.028 per source server per hour; additional AWS resource charges apply.
NetApp Disaster Recovery
NetApp Disaster Recovery coordinates replication, failover, and failback for VMware virtual machines and Kubernetes clusters between source and recovery sites. It uses NetApp ONTAP SnapMirror to keep application-consistent Snapshot copies synchronized; asynchronous replication can support a recovery point objective as low as five minutes. Teams can conduct nondisruptive failover tests using temporary virtual machines and FlexClone volumes. VMware recovery targets include on-premises environments, Google Cloud VMware Engine, and Amazon Elastic VMware Service. Kubernetes recovery supports on-premises NFS, iSCSI, or Fibre Channel, and recovery from on premises to AWS using NFS or iSCSI. The service runs within the NetApp Console SaaS environment and uses a Console agent in a cloud or private on-premises network. Its intelligent proxy communicates over HTTPS on port 443 without requiring a VPN or direct internet access. Licensing is based on used capacity on protected source ONTAP volumes, not virtual machine or application count. A free trial is listed, but plan prices are not provided.
