Quorum, the leader in instant disaster recovery and business continuity,
today announced several software and program enhancements that provide
growing organizations with cloud-based disaster recovery solutions, fit
for the enterprise.
Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) is quickly expanding from small
business to larger enterprise settings as a flexible and reliable
alternative to traditional backup and recovery products. The Quorum onQ
platform makes it easier for enterprises of all sizes to adopt DRaaS
while delivering high availability (HA), comprehensive protection and
simple, one-click recovery both on premises and in the cloud.
New enhancements introduced today include HIPAA certification for
complete protection of healthcare patient data, and new hosted testing
and trial download programs to ensure HA, DR and DRaaS deployment
success.
“Since Quorum onQ was introduced two years ago, we have grown by more
than 600
percent to protect more than 6,000 systems for 471 customers in 13
countries,” said Quorum CEO John Newsom. “The majority of those
customers are small to midsize enterprises that value the one-click
simplicity and reliability of Quorum onQ DRaaS. As our customers
continue to adopt cloud infrastructure we’re introducing new features
and programs through trusted advisors and resellers that will help scale
data protection and recovery into larger, more complex environments.”
Demonstrations at SpiceWorld, Austin, Texas
The company is demonstrating its new onQ solutions for the first time at
the SpiceWorld 2015 IT Conference at booth #37. Held at the Austin
Convention Center, the show runs Sept. 23-25.
Preparing the Enterprise for Everyday IT Disasters
New updates to Quorum onQ, a single software platform powering the
company’s simple, integrated appliances and cloud-based DRaaS solutions,
include:
-
Centralized enrollment capabilities, making it easier to deploy
protection for a larger number of servers at one time
-
VMware vSphere 6.0 integrations including support for VMware vCenter
and vMotion for agentless VM protection
-
Usability enhancements to speed onQ DR cloud portal performance and
improve reporting capabilities
-
Addition of an Archive Vault Gateway, helping to reduce costs by
allowing for the seamless use of existing infrastructure for archives.
Hosted Testing Environment and Free Trial Downloads
Quorum is creating a virtualized testing environment where prospective
and existing customers can evaluate the onQ HA, DR and DRaaS products on
a Quorum-hosted infrastructure. Testing in the Quorum virtual
environment frees customers from having to use their own hardware,
applications and test data. Alternately, customers can also download
free trials via a virtual onQ appliance. Hosted testing is expected to
be available in Q4 this year.
HIPAA Compliance
All Quorum onQ solutions are now HIPAA compliant, meeting federal
regulatory requirements for the security and management of patient data.
Quorum provides healthcare organizations with comprehensive protection
of patient records and health information, keeping data accessible,
secure and in compliance with HIPAA privacy regulations.
Available Exclusively Through Resellers
Quorum onQ appliances and cloud DR solutions are now offered completely
through the company’s global network of distribution, service provider
and channel partners. Existing onQ customers with current maintenance
agreements can upgrade to the latest software release at no additional
charge.
