description VMware vSphere Replication Overview
This is the foundational, native replication tool within the VMware ecosystem. It is excellent for simple, point-to-point replication of VMs between two vCenter sites. While it lacks the advanced orchestration and multi-cloud features of dedicated DR tools, it remains the most direct and reliable method for basic, on-premises disaster recovery within a pure VMware environment.

What does VMware vSphere Replication replicate?
It replicates virtual machines between two vCenter sites. VMware positions it as a native, point-to-point replication tool within the vSphere ecosystem.
