HP Helion Continuity Services biedt Disaster Recovery in de Cloud

Verhoogde cloud adoption zet druk op IT afdelingen om zakelijke bestanden beschikbaar te houden in het geval van een ramp, ongeacht of deze bestanden vast staan of in de cloud. Om de druk nog verder te verhogen, zijn geaccepteerde system recovery tijden gedaald van dagen naar uren en de maximum lengte van data loss windows gekrompen van uren naar minuten voor de kritieke applicaties. Door deze verhoogde verwachtingen zijn de voor business continuity verantwoordelijke budgetten en personeelsleden niet in staat gebleken met dezelfde snelheid mee te veranderen met de eis van kortere recovery response en recovery times.

HP’s cloud-based Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service verlaagt deze druk op de IT afdelingen door een nieuwe IT benadering voor het behoud van continuïteit aan te bieden:

• Verbetert de recovery time met maximaal 90%;
• Vermindert het data verlies met maximaal 95%;
• Bespaart 15% tot 50% van de kosten door een cloud-based As-a-Service prijsmodel[1].

“Our previous recovery method was backup to tape, and we needed to better protect our business information and ensure fail-over in case we experienced an outage or a disaster scenario,” says Barry Alford, head of Information and Communications Technology, Paragon Community Housing Group. “HP quickly implemented DRaaS,Service, and helped us simplify and modernize our backup and continuity implementation while significantly improving our performance indicators.”

HP’s enhanced HP Helion Continuity Service helps business lessen the impact caused from system outages, such as lost customers, brand damage, decreased revenue and production downtime. The industry-leading service protects workloads that are run in a client on-premises private cloud, traditional hosting environment or running on the HP Helion Managed Virtual Private Cloud. The previous release of HP Helion Continuity supported physical and virtual Windows servers and clusters as well as Linux servers. The new release provides customers greater choice with support of Linux physical clusters, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), and storage area network (SAN)-based data stores. Additional enhancements provide clients:

·    The ability to provision additional storage at the time of recovery to meet short-term needs that arise as a result of changing workload requirements

·    The option of a dedicated hypervisor to give clients the ability to host dedicated applications requiring real-time replication

·    Improved snapshot integration with 3PAR technology – providing organizations greater flexibility when planning rehearsals

·    Support for Linux physical clusters

·    Support for Oracle RAC

·    SAN based data stores

·    Rehearsal support for customer Active Directory servers

“The adoption of cloud technology has brought organizations a tremendous amount of innovation, flexibility and agility in how they consume IT services, but not all cloud services from the various vendors are built with continuity and resiliency as a part of their core DNA,” said Jim Fanella, vice president, Workload and Cloud, HP Enterprise Services. “As we continue to grow our HP Helion managed portfolio of services, we believe that continuity should be a core feature for every business who utilizes the cloud and that clients should demand that their cloud partner needs to prepare them for the worst case scenario.”

To improve availability for clients and better address customer regional regulatory requirements, HP is providing this service from seven recovery centers across the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
