FAQ
How to activate the service?
Please send a request to Cloud4Y managers, or submit a ticket to the technical support service to enable vCAV.
How is the service billed?

What is a backup data center?
Backup and replication allow you to have a copy of a virtual machine (VM) ready to run. If the primary VM fails, you can immediately switch to a standby VM.
Can I use it as file storage and let other users access it?
No, you can't. Cloud Storage service is designed for this purpose.
How does vCloud Availability work and what software does it use?
It works via VMware vCloud Availability.
Can I create replication tasks myself?
Yes, you can. There are limits set by Cloud4Y experts. But if necessary or by customer request, we can increase the limit on the number of concurrent replication jobs.
Do we need any software?
On-Prem migration requires vCenter Server 6.* and vCAV appliance installed on the client's side.
In the case of Cloud-To-Cloud migration, vCloud Director must be installed on the client's side.
