LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VMWORLD – i365 Inc., A Seagate Company (NASDAQ:STX), today announced that SunGard Availability Services, will utilize the EVault Remote Disaster Recovery (RDR) Recovery as a Service platform to bring its Recover2Cloud for Vaulting service to market.
Recover2Cloud for Vaulting leverages SunGard’s pioneering disaster recovery expertise and cloud infrastructure to offer customers quick, secure recovery of applications and data to the cloud in the case of an outage or disaster. A fully-managed recovery service, SunGard will ensure all facets of data and application recovery for customers while contractually guaranteeing a sub-24 hour Service Level Agreement (SLA) for the recovery of application environments. This Recover2Cloud service will complement the SunGard disk-based vaulting services for online backup powered by EVault.
“Organizations today cannot operate without continuous access to their applications, making disaster recovery and information availability critical to the health of a business,” said Larry Coble, senior vice president and recovery services general manager, SunGard Availability Services. “By combining EVault’s proven Cloud-Connected backup technology with our enterprise-class cloud platform and disaster recovery expertise, SunGard’s Recover2Cloud for Vaulting provides organizations with a comprehensive cloud-based disaster recovery solution, fully managed by SunGard recovery experts.”
Part of a suite of managed recovery services backed by guaranteed service levels, Recover2Cloud for Vaulting restores data from an online vault and delivers application recovery in less than twenty-four hours. As part of the Recover2Cloud for Vaulting service, SunGard assumes recovery responsibility on behalf of an organization, with skilled operations staff driving solution deployment and performing 24x7 monitoring, troubleshooting and testing. In case of an outage in the customer’s production environment, SunGard experts also perform the recovery. Recover2Cloud for Vaulting is ideal for small to medium sized customer environments with up to 20 terabytes of data to protect.
EVault RDR, developed and provided by i365, a Seagate Company, is a managed recovery in the cloud service that helps organizations quickly recover critical systems and information after a disaster by restoring applications to a secure virtual environment within the EVault Cloud. Employees then remotely access and use those systems via a secure VPN connection. EVault RDR remotely protects and recovers servers and applications running on a range of operating systems normally deployed by mid-market companies.
“We’re very excited to deepen our strategic alliance with SunGard and now to power their Recover2Cloud for Vaulting disaster recovery offering as well,” said Terry Cunningham, president & general manager, i365. “We have seen unprecedented adoption of the company’s EVault RDR platform, and partnering with a disaster recovery industry leader like SunGard will extend the reach of EVault Cloud-Connected storage services to SunGard’s strong client base.”
