OVHcloud® US Disaster Recovery Brings Business Continuity While Controlling Costs
October 2022 by Marc Jacob
OVHcloud® US offerings eliminate downtime and ensure data is backed up in a secure environment for continuous data protection and instant recovery in the face of today’s unprecedented cyberthreats and challenges. With a superior approach compared to common DR models, OVHcloud US DR is budget-friendly, cost-predictable, highly available, and scalable.
Other common disaster recovery models have major limitations.
• Branch and co-location replication models require large amounts of capital and are expensive in terms of hardware maintenance, refreshes, software licensing, IT staffing, and server rack space.
• Other big cloud providers lock customers into proprietary tools, hoping that IT teams will have the time and interest in becoming experts at these tools – or forcing organizations to hire new staff members. Customers also pay for putting data and apps into their cloud so costs can skyrocket easily until disaster strikes. Transaction and data migration costs are also immensely unpredictable.
• The backup cloud connector and cloud volumes models do not allow organizations to use the environment until a disaster is declared. If there is a disaster, expensive support costs may skyrocket to get DR sites working, in addition to long-term storage, connectivity, and compute resource costs. There is also no indication of how long it would take to get new servers up and running.
