Sanovi Recovery-as-a-Service Solution for Any Cloud

Sanovi Technologies, Inc. announced the availability of ADC RaaS intelligence.

Sanovi has developed a recovery-as-a-service (RaaS) technology, called ‘application defined continuity intelligence,’ or ‘ADC intelligence for RaaS.’ It captures an application’s complete continuity profile and has the ability to map the application’s profile to a specific cloud’s architecture and requirements.

Service providers like to offer recovery in the cloud because it gives them the ability to administer DR quickly, without the need to invest in in-house expertise. RaaS in the cloud is interesting because the applications in production do not have to be replicated. That means, if done right, enterprises and service providers don’t have to commit significant investments in order to provide DR.

Converged infrastructures such as FlexPod (Cisco UCS and NetApp storage) and VMware VBlock (Cisco UCS, EMC storage and VMware vCenter) are also fast replacing siloed infrastructure, for cloud service providers in particular. In this cloud era, DR solutions must accommodate the rapid growth and migration needs of applications on elastic and dynamic converged infrastructures.

Paradigm for cloud BC and IT recovery requires:

• A service-centric approach with self-service catalogs;
• Automated management, monitoring and reporting;
• Consumption-based billing based upon DR resource usage;

A company can meet DR and recovery SLA obligations on a low budget. A service provider can offer DR to its clients for less money than traditional models. It is only when they do full testing that they have to pay for all the capabilities. However, in order to achieve this, they need the right tools in place: automation and reporting telling them everything is running. Service providers can actually make money based on the subscription and additional services performed.

According to Gartner, the RaaS market will grow to $1.2 billion by 2017.
