Which cloud provider is supported with Cloud Disaster Recovery (Cloud DR)?

Dell PowerProtect Cloud Disaster Recovery (Cloud DR) is designed to orchestrate the failover and recovery of on-premises workloads to major public cloud providers. Microsoft Azure is a primary, fully supported cloud provider for this solution. Cloud DR facilitates copying VM backups to Azure Blob storage and automates their conversion and deployment as either native Azure VMs or within the Azure VMware Solution (AVS) environment, which runs on Azure infrastructure.

B. ECS (Elastic Cloud Storage) is a Dell on-premises object storage product, not a public cloud provider for DRaaS.

C. AVS (Azure VMware Solution) is a specific VMware-as-a-service offering that runs on Microsoft Azure; Azure is the actual cloud provider.

D. ICOS (IBM Cloud Object Storage) is not a supported public cloud target for the full orchestration and recovery capabilities of PowerProtect Cloud DR.
