TL;DR VCF Protection and Recovery 9.1 changes disaster recovery from a service that infrastructure administrators configure manually into a capability that organization administrators, project administrators, and authorized users can consume through VCF Automation. That does not mean every tenant should be allowed to create arbitrary replication relationships, reserve unlimited recovery capacity, or initiate a production […]

TL;DR Immutable snapshots and replicated copies are necessary, but they are not a complete ransomware recovery architecture. A cyber incident changes the recovery question from “Can this workload be restored?” to “Which point is trustworthy, how can it be powered on safely, and what evidence is required before it returns to production?” VCF 9.1 with

TL;DR VCF 9.1 changes the upgrade conversation because the management layer is no longer just a collection of adjacent appliances. VCF Operations, VCF Automation, VCF Management Services, license services, software depot, identity, logging, and lifecycle workflows become part of a more unified private cloud operating model. That means the VCF 5.2.x to 9.1 upgrade should
