Xi Infrastructure Service

Along with the infrastructure required to support the recovery of on-prem applications, Xi Cloud Services provides the functionality that you require to run the application in the cloud until you can perform a failback. This functionality, made available as Xi Infrastructure Service, is designed to enable you to address application scaling requirements when the primary availability zone is being recovered from a disastrous event.

The configuration tasks described here are specific to Xi Cloud Services. To perform on-prem infrastructure tasks, such as VM and category management, you must continue to use the on-prem Prism Central instance. For information about these tasks, see the Prism Central Guide.
