In a disaster recovery scenario, how long will it take to failover?
In the event that a VM becomes unavailable or fails, you can failover and restore services in the production environment with an RTPO of less than 15 minutes. Users can access services and applications that they need with minimal disruption. Whether a single server is offline or the whole site, failing over is straightforward and automated, and your client environment can be back online within minutes.
