VMware on Wednesday announced it's acquiring Datrium, a disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) firm based in Sunnyvale, Calif. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Once the deal closes, VMware plans to expand its current, performance-optimized VMware Site Recovery DRaaS offering with Datrium's cost-optimized DRaaS option. The move fits into VMware's vision to create a consistent operating model across hybrid cloud environments.

"This is a significant move forward to help customers build hybrid clouds by combining the consistent infrastructure and operations of VMware Cloud with Datrium DRaaS to reduce the cost and complexity of business continuity," VMware's John Gilmartin wrote in a blog post.
According to IDC, DRaaS is the fastest-growing segment for data protection use cases with a $4.5 billion market growing at 15 percent CAGR for 2019 through 2023.

VMware: Breaking: VMware Announces Intent to Acquire Datrium to Provide Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service for Hybrid Cloud Environments

Hybrid cloud has emerged as the most common cloud strategy for our customers. With organizations sometimes having thousands of applications – both existing legacy apps and new cloud microservices – securing and maintaining those apps in hybrid cloud environments is critical to success for many of our customers.

After the deal closes, Datrium’s proven team and unique IP in cloud storage and end-to-end DR services will broaden the VMware Cloud vision to include DRaaS where customers can experience a consistent operating model across the hybrid cloud during DR instances. We look forward to integrating the Datrium product into our VMware Cloud portfolio to offer an operator-friendly architecture consistent with cloud user expectations.
