Everpure Resilience

Everpure Resilience is a cyber-recovery and disaster-recovery service for organizations protecting VMware workloads. It suits teams that need isolated recovery and recovery testing, and have the infrastructure resources to operate it. The free community edition is a meaningful entry point, but the required on-premises appliance and customer-managed accounts remain part of the deal.

Overview

Resilience coordinates isolated recovery environments for VMware and FlashArray, with offsite cloud vaulting for virtual machines. It can restore VMs to AWS EC2 or a secondary vSphere site, and precision point-in-time recovery is designed for recovery after ransomware. The breadth of those recovery routes is useful to VMware organizations planning for both cyber incidents and site disruption.

Customer data stays in the customer’s VMware environment or AWS account; Pure1 stores VM metadata. VMware VMs on other storage vendors are supported through VMware VADP, so FlashArray is not a prerequisite for every workload. The operational trade-off is substantial: deployment requires an on-premises VM appliance, and customers manage their VMware site, AWS account and related costs.

Key features

Isolated recovery and testing

Automated recovery testing in isolated environments can reveal coverage gaps before an incident. That makes Resilience more compelling for teams that need to validate recovery plans than for those seeking replication alone. Capacity monitoring, storage provisioning and performance optimization add operational tools around the recovery environment.

Replication and restoration

Continuous replication and failover orchestration support recovery across VMware VMs, AWS EC2 instances and secondary vSphere sites. FlashArray ActiveDR or asynchronous replication can reduce RPO time to nearly zero, but that outcome depends on the replication approach. Everpure says application environments can be recovered in minutes; it also states the technology supports 99.9999% uptime. These are useful targets for planning, not a substitute for choosing recovery objectives appropriate to each workload.

Integrations and security

Integrations include VMware vSphere, Everpure FlashArray, CrowdStrike Threat Graph and native AWS EC2. Everpure reports SOC 2 Type II coverage, ISO 27001 alignment, AES-256 encryption, FIPS 140-3 validation and NIAP/Common Criteria certification for applicable products. The Knowledge Portal provides technical and advanced services, customer success, security bulletins and product-security resources.

Pricing

Everpure Resilience Service community edition: free. For organizations assessing VMware disaster recovery without a software charge, that is a useful starting point. It does not remove the appliance requirement or customer responsibility for VMware, AWS and related costs.

The community edition is the only plan with a stated price. Organizations needing a different commercial arrangement should expect custom pricing rather than assume the free edition covers every deployment need.

Platforms

Everpure lists Android, iOS, self-hosted and web platforms, and describes deployment as cloud. The deployment model still requires an on-premises VM appliance, so this is not a cloud-only service that avoids local infrastructure. Supported recovery workloads include VMware VMs, AWS EC2 instances and secondary vSphere sites.

Who it's for

Resilience is aimed at organizations seeking cyber recovery and disaster recovery for VMware workloads, particularly those that value isolated testing and need AWS or secondary-vSphere recovery targets. It is a stronger fit when a team can operate the appliance and manage the underlying accounts and sites. Organizations seeking a hands-off service without those responsibilities should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Isolated automated testing can expose recovery coverage gaps before an attack or outage.
• Recovery targets include both AWS EC2 and a secondary vSphere site, with non-FlashArray storage supported through VMware VADP.
• Customer data remains in the customer’s VMware environment or AWS account; Pure1 stores VM metadata.

Cons

• An on-premises VM appliance is required, limiting its appeal to teams seeking a fully managed, infrastructure-free service.
• Customers remain responsible for their VMware site, AWS account and associated costs, so the free plan is not a zero-cost deployment.
• The near-zero RPO claim depends on FlashArray ActiveDR or asynchronous replication; it should not be treated as a universal outcome for every setup.

Alternatives

For a free option with a stated node cap and broader cloud or infrastructure sandbox choices, consider Veeam Kasten Disaster Recovery: its free plan covers up to five nodes. Veeam Recovery Orchestrator is another option, with free demonstration and evaluation licenses, though its NFR license is not for commercial use.

For Mac endpoint backup rather than VMware disaster recovery, Veeam Agent for Mac has a free edition limited to one backup job and without direct object-storage backup. Oracle Cloud Compute is an alternative to consider for a cloud-compute need.

Infrascale Backup and Disaster Recovery uses aggregated component subscriptions in 1 TB storage increments with a consistent monthly price and a quote-based plan. Acronis Cyber Disaster Recovery Cloud has a pay-as-you-go option for used DR cloud storage and compute, and offers a free trial but no free plan.

Trilio Site Recovery is subscription-based and available through its Early Adopter Program. Cohesity SiteContinuity is another paid option for VMware environments.

Browse Cloud Disaster Recovery Software or Storage Management Software for more options.

Verdict

Choose Everpure Resilience if your organization runs VMware workloads and needs isolated recovery testing, point-in-time restoration and routes to AWS or another vSphere site. Its free community edition and broad recovery targets are the main reasons to consider it. Look elsewhere if you cannot support the on-premises appliance and customer-managed infrastructure, since those responsibilities remain central even with the free plan.
