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.
Veeam Recovery Orchestrator
Veeam Recovery Orchestrator coordinates recovery processes for critical applications and provides one-click recovery plans. It uses Veeam Backup & Replication recovery capabilities to build disaster recovery workflows, automate recovery and document outcomes. Administrators can schedule plan checks and tests, including isolated test labs and readiness checks. Reports show recovery point and recovery time objective achievements, along with results for checks, tests and executions. Recovery locations support VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, storage systems and Microsoft Azure; Orchestrator 13 can recover machines to Azure IaaS as VMs. Supported workloads include VMware vSphere and Hyper-V VMs, Azure VMs and physical Windows. The product installs on a 64-bit Windows Server and its web interface is accessed through a browser. A Veeam Data Platform Premium license or an Advanced license with additional Orchestrator licenses is required; Foundation is unsupported. Pricing is on request, and an evaluation license is available for 30 days.
