help HPE SimpliVity RapidDR FAQ

What does RapidDR actually do in HPE SimpliVity?

RapidDR is SimpliVity's built-in orchestration for automated disaster recovery, using the platform's native backup and replication to fail virtual machines over to a secondary site and then fail them back. It's designed to run recovery from SimpliVity backups rather than a separate DR product.

Does HPE SimpliVity RapidDR use Zerto?

No. RapidDR is native SimpliVity technology built on the platform's own data services, whereas Zerto is a separate third-party journal-based replication product often deployed alongside hypervisors. Customers typically choose one approach or the other rather than combining them.

Does RapidDR require VMware vSphere?

RapidDR is designed around VMware vSphere environments, leveraging vSphere's HA and cluster mechanics for the failover orchestration. If your workloads run on a different hypervisor, SimpliVity's DR automation isn't the right fit.

What RPO can you get with RapidDR?

Because failover relies on SimpliVity backups, your recovery point objective is governed by how frequently you schedule those backups rather than by continuous replication. Teams that need near-zero RPO often look at continuous journal-based tools like Zerto instead.
