DR-aaS
Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DR-aaS) is the only cloud based service available in the market able to deliver the level of coverage required by diverse technical environments, yet at a price point competitive with traditional, less advanced backup and recovery solutions.
DR-aaS has the capability to:
- Protect physical and/or virtual Windows, Linux, and Unix servers and workstations.
- Integrate with Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, Microsoft SQL, Oracle databases and more to deliver application consistent recovery points.
- Maintain two copies of your data, near-line (HA) and offline (DR).
- Protect your data over a secure, point-to-point dedicated link.
- Provide RPO's from zero to 24 hours or more.
- Typical RTO's for data recovery is sub 5 mins, for total server recovery sub 15 mins irrespective of size of data set.
- Eliminate your backup window, data is continually protected.
- With the DR-aaS addition you can restore your organisation to a working state from total failure in less than 30 minutes.
How does DR deliver such Functionality?
DR-aaS uses advanced storage technology to mirror writes from your primary disk to the DR-aaS earthwave on-premise managed appliance. Once in the DR-aaS cloud, data can be mirrored, snapshotted, re-presented. Disaster Recovery testing now becomes a 30 minute exercise for most organisations and recovery takes less than 15 minutes. Our host based agents guarantee application consistency, and our application recovery agents make email and DB recovery fast and efficient.
DR-aaS Target Audience
- Companies with poor backup coverage, or with applications that require multiple restore points in any one day
- Organisations planning to make an investment in Disaster Recovery, or looking to outsource their backup, recovery, or DR requirements.
