Overview
Datrium provides a disaster recovery platform that helps enterprises quickly restore data and operations after cyber-attacks or natural disasters. The system works by integrating storage, backup, and encryption into a single cloud-based service on AWS, allowing businesses to restart their operations almost immediately through a process called instant recovery. Unlike competitors that require managing multiple separate tools, Datrium combines all recovery functions into one interface to simplify data management and reduce costs. The company's goal is to provide a scalable, on-demand service that ensures business continuity and data integrity for large organizations.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying

- VCF 9.1 in July 2026 deepened recovery-console integration and clean-room workflows.

What critics are saying
- Broadcom acquired VMware in 2023, subsuming Datrium into a larger platform team.
- VMware Live Recovery and vSAN Protection now replace Datrium's standalone DR relevance by 2026.
- Datrium no longer operates independently; talent and roadmap control sit with Broadcom.
What makes Datrium unique

- VMware folded Datrium IP into VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery in October 2020.
- Its orchestration paired on-prem vSphere with VMware Cloud on AWS for identical workflows.

The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Datrium has raised about $120 million in funding since its launch in 2012, including a $60 million Series D round led by Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. two years ago.
