UkCloud Launches Disaster Recovery to the Cloud Service
UKCloud , has launched Disaster Recovery to the Cloud , a selfservice replication and recovery solution , powered by Zerto .
The service mitigates a wide range of failure scenarios that can affect a local data centre – including power cuts and natural disasters – as well as providing protection against application failures , including unsuccessful software updates , and malicious cyber attacks . The innovative Zerto technology enables customers to easily roll back cloud-based virtual machines ( VMs ) and workloads to a known safe state , allowing services to be restored rapidly , minimising downtime and data loss .
Once an organisation has implemented Disaster Recovery to the Cloud , protected applications are seamlessly and securely copied and stored on the UKCloud platform , which acts as the recovery site . In the event of an application being compromised , the organisation is able to quickly recover the application to the UKCloud platform and , in so doing , make the service available to office based users as well as mobile users ( to mitigate the risk of the entire office or site becoming unavailable ).
Disaster Recovery to the Cloud is based on a pay-as-you-use cloud model ; organisations can select applications that are crucial for the provision of public services , and therefore only pay for the disaster recovery or business continuity that is needed .
