RP4VM can deliver the data protection of virtual machines with its point-in-time synchronization or asynchronization in a local VxRail cluster or across VxRail clusters between two separate locations, and these licenses are bundled on each VxRail appliance. VMware VR is the other data protection feature for VxRail, and its license is bundled on a VxRail appliance. In this chapter, we will discuss...
