StorPool Storage introduced the first-ever Disaster Recovery Engine for KVM-based
cloud infrastructure that empowers IT service providers and enterprises
to recover virtual machines in minutes whenever disaster strikes.
A first-of-its-kind solution, the StorPool Disaster Recovery Engine
(DRE) simplifies the configuration and execution of disaster recovery
(DR) services for virtual machines (VM) in cloud infrastructure built
using the Linux KVM hypervisor and the StorPool Storage platform. The
StorPool DRE can protect environments with tens to thousands of VMs. It
simplifies disaster recovery scenarios like 1:1, many to 1, many to
many, and delivers industry-leading recovery point objective (RPO) and
recovery time objective (RTO) of virtual machines in disaster scenarios,
to ensure uninterrupted business operations.
This new capability makes StorPool Storage the first-ever
software-defined primary data storage platform with built-in DR
capabilities for KVM-based clouds. StorPool’s Disaster Recovery Engine
helps companies minimize data-at-risk and downtime, while automating VM
failover and failback in disaster scenarios. This eliminates the need
for customers to use a myriad of products from different vendors to
perform backup and DR for business continuity purposes.
Until now, functionality like this has been available in other
ecosystems (e.g. VMware by Broadcom), but implementing it for KVM-based
clouds has been too complicated and costly, limiting the adoption of the
KVM hypervisor. StorPool Storage is fully integrated with the most
widely used KVM Cloud Management Platforms – CloudStack, OpenNebula,
OpenStack, and Proxmox.
“StorPool’s Disaster Recovery (DR) Engine has become a pivotal
component of RapidCompute’s offerings, enabling us to integrate advanced
DRaaS capabilities into our KVM-based OpenStack cloud platform.
StorPool’s ability to consistently meet stringent RPO and RTO objectives
ensures the protection and rapid recovery of customer workloads during
outages,” said Imtiaz Khan, Chief Technology Officer, RapidCompute.
“We have trusted StorPool for over a decade to provide key storage
components of our clouds worldwide. StorPool fuses operational expertise
with a market leading product for price-performance,” stated Robert Jenkin, CEO with CloudSigma. “With
the new Disaster Recovery Engine, StorPool is helping us to better meet
the needs of our customers with improved consistency of service.”
“We continue to add innovation and cutting-edge capabilities to our
industry-leading fully managed storage service offerings so that MSPs
and enterprises meet and exceed their business continuity requirements,” said Boyan Ivanov, CEO at StorPool Storage. “These
capabilities are an exciting addition to an already robust cloud
infrastructure environment fully supported by StorPool’s Fully Managed
Storage Services.”
StorPool Storage is designed for workloads that demand utmost
reliability, high performance, and low latency. StorPool comes as a Fully Managed Service / Storage as a Service (STaaS)
offering: our teams design, deploy, tune, monitor, and maintain the
storage system so that end-users experience fast and reliable services
while our customers’ tech teams focus on more strategic aspects of their
business.
The StorPool Disaster Recovery Engine is fully integrated with StorPool’s existing licensing.
