DR in the cloud
DR has traditionally been a major challenge for IT departments. Even with the advent of server virtualization and other technologies that have simplified DR implementation and some aspects of ongoing management, it is often still a complex and extremely costly undertaking.

While the public cloud promises lower cost, simplicity, and agility for some applications, it is impossible for an enterprise or service provider to use the public cloud to achieve simple, automated and cost-effective DR without OneCloud Recovery. Specifically, using OneCloud Recovery between VMware and AWS for DR allows:

Organizations to achieve recovery times between one and 24 hours without an expensive, complex secondary data center
Automated DR from installation through the full DR lifecycle without any noticeable disruption
DR protection at 50 to 70% lower total cost due to OneCloud Recovery’s advanced cost avoidance engine
Accomplish all of the above without any previous knowledge of AWS. The user only needs to know the types of recovery policies they want provisioned.

OneCloud is the first company to harness AWS as an automated substitute to other DR offerings at a fraction of the cost.

“OneCloud is proud to reach this milestone – not only as a company, but to empower an industry that struggles with complexity and manageability,” said Marc Crespi, CEO, OneCloud. “We are finally able to simplify DR for MSPs looking to dominate the growing DR as a Service market or for customers who want to simplify self-managed DR. At a time when data is growing exponentially and enterprises of all sizes need a scalable, manageable and cost-effective solution, we are uniquely delivering just that. For the first time, we are intersecting the cloud and DR in a way that can serve the ever evolving needs for every business.“

According to Gartner,”Wider adoption of DRaaS can be largely attributed to the proven viability of cloud-based solutions. Today, Gartner estimates the size of the DRaaS market to be approximately $1.3 billion, with a related CAGR of approximately 30%.” ^[1]
