Donations to Merakey Allegheny Valley School are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. Contributions from individuals, foundations, corporations and community groups help to cover these expenditures and are vital to help us maintain our level of care. Medicaid funding does not provide the start-up capital for things such as equipment, property, program expansion and renovations. This funding covers our basic operating costs such as housing, food, utilities, medication, program services and the salaries of staff providing care for the consumers. Medicaid is our primary source of revenue.

Since our founding in 1960, we have grown from a single site agency serving 10 children into a multi-faceted organization with programs and facilities serving nearly 800 adults.

If protecting VMs running in AVS you will follow these steps to get started:Ī: Charges for JetStream DR for AVS are assessed by the number of VMs being protected per day. If protecting VMs running in your data center (outside AVS) you will follow these steps to get started:ĭeploy a JetStream management server OVA file and register it with vCenterĬonfigure object storage (Azure Blob storage)Ĭreate a DR Virtual Appliance and configure the DR StoreĬreate a Protected Domain and protect VMs Q: What do I need to use JetStream DR for AVS?Ī: To use JetStream DR for AVS, you will need:Īn Azure Blob Storage account (data is replicated from your protected VMs into Azure Blob Storage)Ī “pilot light” vSphere cluster in AVS (VMs will fail over to this cluster in the event of an incident, and nodes can be added)Ī secure, robust network connection between the protected VMware environment and Blob Storage (ExpressRoute or P2P VPN) Nodes can be added to the cluster during failover as needed. Q: Does the AVS-JetStream combination require that a customer have a cluster continuously provisioned in AVS, or can the recovery systems be provisioned at the time that failover is initiated?Ī: To facilitate cluster configuration and minimize the Recovery Time Objective (RTO), customers are advised to provision a minimal “pilot light” cluster in AVS. Q: Does JetStream DR for AVA require Azure Blob Storage?Ī: When used with AVS, Azure Blob Storage is the logical choice for storing VMs and data. Q: What datastore types can JetStream DR protect?Ī: JetStream DR can protect VMs running on any VMware-compatible datastore type, including SAN, NAS, Virtual Volumes (VVOLs), Virtual SAN (vSAN) and third-party HCI platforms including Nutanix, Cisco HyperFlex, etc.

Support for vSphere 7.0 is planned for 2021. Within AVS, VMs currently run vSphere 6.7. Q: What versions of VMware vSphere does JetStream DR support?Ī: JetStream DR can protect environments running VMware vSphere 6.5 and 6.7. Q: How can customers and partners try the solution?Ī: Customers interested in protecting their environments with the new managed DR service solution should reach out to their Microsoft Azure sales representative.
