Enhanced support for the Site Recovery and Config UIs.

At its core, vSphere Replication 8.5 is a solution designed to protect VMs by replicating them from a protected source site to a target recovery site. It operates asynchronously and at the hypervisor level, providing flexibility in storage vendor selection at both source and target sites. This allows for cost-effective data protection and rapid recovery.

Version 8.5 introduces enhanced performance metrics, tighter integration with VMware Cloud Director and VMware Live Cyber Recovery (formerly Site Recovery Manager), and optimized bandwidth utilization for modern hybrid cloud architectures. Key Features and Benefits
