In today’s world, it is important to not only protect your infrastructure but to meet recovery time, recovery point, and cost expectations of the business. In the event of a clinical or catastrophic disaster, Cloud Replication offers the ability to bring systems back online in less than 1 hour.
The Hosting.com Cloud Replication solution can cost-effectively connect your on premises and cloud-based environments with our recovery infrastructure for off-site data replication and continuous application availability. Your site and the recovery site stay in sync through reliable data replication facilitated by VMware’s Site Recovery Manager (SRM 5) – delivering an Always On™ cloud storage solution.
Cloud Replication provides continuous protection between your on-premises environment and an identical environment at a Hosting.com recovery site, or between a Hosting.com data center and Hosting.com recovery site. Your replicated virtual machines are fully managed and parked in a Hosting.com data center. During a recovery, Cloud Replication shuts down the VMs at the customer site in precise order based on priority selected by the customer and the corresponding VMs are brought online at the Hosting.com site in the same priority order.
Tight integration with the Hosting.com Customer Portal allows you to choose and control which individual virtual machines are replicated along with the choice of a target Hosting.com recovery data center. Cloud Replication allows administrators manage failover in the Customer Portal – a centralized location for disaster management. You can perform simulated non-disruptive and non-load bearing recovery tests as well as delivering insight into the health of both the production and recovery environments. When your server environment changes you can easily make adjustments and re-validate your recovery plan without affecting the remaining production servers.
Historically, disaster recovery solutions have required companies to own multiple data centers, employ highly technical support and maintenance staff, and spend up to 50% of IT budgets to guarantee recovery. Today, Hosting.com offers cost-saving solutions such as Cloud Replication to meet your business requirements.
