phoenixNAP, a global IT services provider offering security-focused cloud
infrastructure, dedicated servers, colocation, and specialized
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) technology solutions, as of today enables
its channel partners to offer Disaster Recovery as a Service ("DRaaS")
solution powered by VMware vCloud Availability to their customers. Built
exclusively for VMware environments, the solution enables simple, secure, and
cost-effective protection of VMware on-premises workloads through cloud DRaaS
instances.
With over 500 hours of staff productivity and thousands of dollars lost
annually due to IT outages, disaster recovery is a critical requirement for
modern organizations. Analyst reports project that the disaster
recovery-as-a-service market will grow at CAGR of 38.5% during 2018 - 2028,
which reflects a growing demand for availability solutions. With phoenixNAP's
VMware DRaaS, IT service providers can address this demand and offer an
efficient data recovery option for VMware-based environments.
"The VMware DRaaS option complements the portfolio of services we make
available to our channel partners," said Willian Bell, Executive Vice
President of Products at phoenixNAP. "Adding a critical layer of
protection to VMware workloads, this option helps organizations achieve their
business continuity goals without any capex investments. As a Premier Service
Provider in the VMware Cloud Provider Program, we are excited to expand the
diversity of VMware technologies available to our channel partners."
Enabling organizations to quickly recover their critical data after an
incident, DRaaS ensures operational continuity and eliminates the risk of data
loss. The VMware-native DRaaS option available from phoenixNAP brings these
advantages to VMware environments without requiring any capex investments. As a
flexible and reliable solution, it is ideal for channel partners looking to
help their clients meet their security and compliance goals.
Based on VMware vCloud Availability for vCloud Director, a robust platform
for managing VMware workloads in multi-tenant cloud environments, it allows for
a quick implementation, easy scaling, and simplified management. These features
enable phoenixNAP's channel partners to accelerate time-to-protection for their
clients and help them achieve continuous data availability.
"VMware DRaaS offers important capabilities to organizations already
running VMware environments," said Michael Haag, director, product
marketing at VMware. "Through phoenixNAP, IT service providers can provide
this reliable and simple-to-implement cloud-based DRaaS solution to their
clients and grow their revenues. The clients can easily create a DRaaS instance
to replicate their VMs to a secure cloud and enable automated recovery of data
in minimum time."
