Is it possible for purposes of DR in a cloud solution to move just the VMWare environment?

Can you replicate your Production Nutanix VMware environment to a cloud based solution? Say IBM cloud? They say you can but i guess i am having a hard time seeing how that will work? I am really new to the whole cloud solution arena and my company wants to move our DR\Datacenter to cloud? We have business reasons for using IBM cloud but they do not have a nutanix cloud infrastructure but tell us we can bring our VMWare environment.
