JetStream DR
What JetStream DR is
JetStream DR provides continuous data protection and disaster recovery for VMware workloads. It replicates virtual machine data to object storage and describes its recovery point objective as near zero. The product says it can recover and run VMs in minutes, with recovery clusters provisioned on demand. It captures data through VMware vSphere I/O Filters and is administered through a vCenter plug-in and the vSphere Web GUI. The maker says protected VMs do not need agent software installed or snapshots.
Listed storage targets include S3-compatible object storage such as AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Cloudian, and MinIO, along with Azure NetApp Files. Its hypervisor-level software is described as supporting on-premises SAN, NAS, vSAN, and HCI environments, plus VMware-compatible recovery infrastructure. Coverage is listed for VMware vSphere 7 and 8, with hybrid deployment, cloud backup targets, and off-site replication.
JetStream DR for AVS is obtained through Azure Marketplace; on-premises installations use an OVA package obtained from JetStream support. A Product Evaluation Plan is referenced, followed by instructions to subscribe to a paid Azure Marketplace plan. The paid subscription is billed on-demand monthly, with VM-level recovery SLAs; storage and cloud infrastructure costs may be separate. JetStream Software says it was founded in 2016. Its stated purpose is to let service providers deliver disaster recovery and business continuity for customers’ on-premises environments.
