Short answer
It is reserved. FirstNet DRaaS sets aside virtual CPU, memory and replica storage for each protected workload in advance, rather than relying on capacity becoming available when a disaster happens.
In detail
Why reservation matters:
- Predictability: recovery is planned, even during events that affect several customers at once
- Sizing: capacity is matched to your VM count and the vCPU, RAM and disk of each protected server
- Isolation: Veeam Cloud Connect allocates compute, storage and network resources per tenant, keeping your data segregated from other customers
- Review: capacity is reviewed as workloads change and resized when servers are added or grow
This is the main difference between DRaaS and backup. Backup as a Service stores your data but reserves no compute, so restoring whole systems means finding somewhere to run them. DRaaS keeps that place ready.
Reserved capacity is sized during onboarding from your workload list and recovery targets. Where reporting is in scope, reserved capacity status is reported, typically monthly or quarterly, so you can see that it still covers the systems in scope. Best-effort public cloud DR is not part of this service.
