-Disaster Recovery to cloud is a resilient and cost-effective way of protecting the workloads against site outages and data corruption events like ransomware. When you use the VMware VAIO framework, on-premises VMware workloads can be replicated to Azure Blob storage and recovered with minimal or close to no data loss and near-zero Recovery Time Objective (RTO). JetStream DR can seamlessly recover workloads replicated from on-premises to Azure VMware Solution and specifically to Azure NetApp Files.

 ### Ransomware recovery 
 
 Recovering from ransomware can be a daunting task. It can be hard for IT organizations to pinpoint what the 'safe point of return' is and how to ensure that recovered workloads are safeguarded from the attacks reoccurring by sleeping malware or through vulnerable applications. 
 
-JetStream DR for Azure VMware Solution together with Azure NetApp Files datastores can address these concerns by allowing organizations to recover from an available point-in-time. It ensures workloads are recovered to a functional and isolated network if necessary. It allows the applications to function and communicate with each other without exposing them to any North-South traffic. It also gives security teams a safe place to perform forensics, and conduct other recovery measures.
