VMware-based Disaster Recovery Payment Model and Prices

Balance

To pay for disaster recovery to Cloud Powered by VMware (DRaaS), depending on the balance type in your account, the united balance or Cloud Powered by VMware balance is used.

You can pay for the public cloud with different types of funds: main funds, bonuses.

Before ordering or configuring disaster recovery, top up the balance.

To ensure there is always enough money on the balance, you can configure balance notifications and automatic balance top-up.

Payment Model

DRaaS is billed on a pay-as-you-go model — every hour the amount for the consumed public cloud resources hosting replicated virtual machines is debited. Funds start being charged from the moment the virtual data center is created.

DRaaS is billed as long as replicated virtual machines are stored in the Selectel cloud, even if they are powered off. For powered-off machines, you are charged 30% of the vCPU and RAM cost; all other resources are charged at full price.

To stop billing, disable replication and delete the virtual data center.

Block resources if there is not enough money in the balance

If there is not enough money in the balance to pay for consumed resources, access to the virtual data center is suspended. However, public cloud resources (vCPU, RAM, disks, Edge gateways, IP addresses, Direct Connected subnets) continue to be charged.

To restore access, top up the balance.

If you do not top up your balance within 14 days, all virtual machines and other resources will be deleted and cannot be recovered.
