The challenge many companies face with traditional Disaster Recovery (DR) planning is that it has been complex and costly. Leveraging the groundbreaking benefits of cloud computing, Champion's Cloud Continuity services allow enterprises-especially growing mid-market businesses-to utilize an on-demand DR capability that delivers exactly the amount of IT resources needed, at the very time they're needed most. Depending on your environment, budget, and requirements, Champion can help you determine how the cloud can fit into your DR strategy.
Champion's Cloud Continuity offering ranges from self-service to fully managed, providing additional flexibility and cost-effectiveness:
- Self Service
Self Service Disaster Recovery is a low cost alternative to traditional Disaster Recovery. This on-demand capability minimizes the cost without reducing the availability. Host-based replication will synchronize your production data with the Disaster Recovery site to allow fast RTO with a predictable RPO.
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the maximum tolerable length of time that a computer, system, network, or application can be down after a failure or disaster occurs.
Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is the age of files that must be recovered from backup storage or replication for normal operations to resume if a computer, system, or network goes down as a result of a hardware, program, or communications failure.
- Fully Managed
With Fully Managed replication and disaster recovery service, the networking, compute and storage resources at the DR site are on a capacity-on-demand basis. Virtualized Disaster Recovery (VDR) enables customers to replicate data and operating systems from their production environment into a securely managed Cloud Computing environment. From there, you can failover to a production-ready environment in the event of a catastrophic outage at the primary facility. This on-demand capability minimizes the cost to the customer by eliminating the need to purchase and maintain expensive, dedicated technical infrastructure.
