phoenixNAP, a global IT services provider offering security-focused cloud
infrastructure, dedicated servers, colocation, and specialized
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) technology solutions, today announced
general availability of its new Disaster Recovery as a Service
("DRaaS") solution powered by VMware vCloud Availability, a unified
solution built to offer simple, more secure, and cost-effective onboarding,
migration, and disaster recovery services for multi-tenant VMware clouds.
phoenixNAP's VMware DRaaS makes it easy for organizations of all sizes to have
their workloads protected from unexpected events.
"Our new DRaaS product line offers critical capabilities to
organizations already running VMware environments," said William Bell,
executive vice president of products, phoenixNAP. "As a cloud-based
solution, it eliminates the need for setting up and maintaining a secondary DR
site. Instead, organizations can easily create a DRaaS instance to replicate
their VMs to our secure cloud services and enable fast and automated recovery
of data. With such a robust business continuity strategy, companies do not need
to worry about data loss and potentially devastating operational
disruptions."
Cloud-based disaster recovery is one of the fastest-growing industry
segments for cloud services. VMware vCloud Availability gives cloud providers
the ability to capitalize on this demand and deliver increased choice to end
users. Additionally, as enterprises increasingly implement a hybrid cloud
strategy, vCloud Availability provides an opportunity for cloud providers to
deliver simple, integrated migration and onboarding services to the cloud and
from cloud to cloud.
"phoenixNAP DRaaS based on VMware vCloud Availability, enables
phoenixNAP to offer robust business continuity to organizations of all
sizes," said Rajeev Bhardwaj, vice president of product management, cloud
provider software business unit, VMware. "phoenixNAP DRaaS empowers
companies to recover data quickly, and avoid business outages when a man-made
or natural disaster strikes."
