Hosting.com Launches DR to the Cloud Solution for Disaster Protection

Cloud Replication solution enables any company to easily replicate and protect compute infrastructure and is powered by industry-leading VMware vCenter™ Site Recovery Manager 5

DENVER, December 13, 2011 -

Hosting.com, a leading provider of enterprise-class cloud-based application availability and recovery solutions, today announced the general availability of the market’s first fully-managed Cloud Replication solution. This solution enables customers who are seeking a solution for disaster recovery, while providing cost-effective business continuity and application recovery. The Cloud Replication solution leverages VMware vCenter™ Site Recovery Manager 5 (SRM 5) to deliver enterprise-class offsite data protection and disaster recovery.

The Cloud Replication solution protects organizations from data loss resulting from clinical disasters, such as a server failure or human error, and catastrophic disasters that can bring a company to a complete standstill. Hosting.com enables automated virtual machine replication of a virtualized data environment either from the customer premises or from a Hosting.com data center to a Hosting.com data center recovery site. Customers can easily customize and control their replication and recovery settings in the Hosting.com Customer Portal. 

“Our Cloud Replication solution powered by SRM 5 makes offsite disaster recovery possible for businesses of all sizes and in particular, to organizations deterred by the traditional high cost and complexity of disaster recovery. By connecting a customer's existing infrastructure to one of our data centers, Cloud Replication provides affordable offsite protection and reduces their infrastructure investment,” commented Art Zeile, CEO of Hosting.com.   

In conjunction with VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager 5, Cloud Replication delivers unprecedented control and flexibility to IT managers responsible for critical systems recovery.  Companies can per­form simulated test recoveries that are non-disruptive and non-load bearing to their production environment – guaranteeing system availability during a disaster. The management of a failover and failback using the Hosting.com Customer Portal is a simple and automated method for managing disaster management.

“We’re excited that Hosting.com is committed to VMware virtualization and recovery solutions. Hosting.com’s Cloud Replication solution will revolutionize the manner in which VMware customers protect and recover their mission-critical applications with their integrated portal and automation functionality,” said Gaetan Castelein, Director, Product Marketing, VMware.
