Today OnApp announced a new Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service capability for the OnApp cloud platform. OnApp DRaaS enables customers to using OnApp’s integrated storage system to create resilient local cloud storage on the hardware they are already using for their cloud. Customers will then be able to replicate in real-time to a remote OnApp DRaaS site without impacting performance.
OnApp DRaaS can replicate virtual server data in real-time by using distributed cloud capacity over secure connections. Cloud providers can combine OnApp DRaaS with other backup and failover capabilities by OnApp, to create services with the appropriate price/redundancy characteristics for all levels of applications while complying with data protection regimes for medical, legal, financial or government data.
Building on OnApp Storage, OnApp DRaaS uses block-level write intercepts for virtual servers for a real-time replication of the server’s data to one or more remote disaster recovery sites. All the while maintained a continuous synchronization between the local virtual server and the remote copy, continuously monitoring the availability of the local server, and providing configurable alerts and failover mechanisms to enable the virtual server to migrate to the remote location if a local outage occurs.
Key features include:
OnApp DRaaS will be offered in two models: the first OnApp manages the remote replication sites and the second cloud providers will monitor remote replication sites. Both models enable cloud providers to choose the location for disaster recovery.
