how to implement disaster recovery in the cloud
DESCRIPTION
Learn how disaster recovery in the cloud makes DR easy, efficient and affordable. Cloud-based Recovery-as-a-Service is the latest in disaster recovery technology. Recovery-as-a-Service (RaaS) is the ideal on-ramp to cloud to solve your need to recover quickly, easily and efficiently after a disaster strikes. Learn how four companies architected their RaaS solutions and protected entire applications in the cloud while reducing costs. LEARN HOW TO: - Protect and recover applications quickly - Lower costs while improving RTO and RPOs - Implement easy and affordable testing - Recover into an enterprise-grade cloud environment - Reduce downtime and business risk http://www.bluelock.com/cloud-services/raas/TRANSCRIPT

Improvements in Replication Technology
• Low Barriers to Entry • Improved Recovery Quality • Testability, Ease of Use • SAN Agnostic • 100% Software-based • Application-aware…
@Bluelock | www.bluelock.com
Application Recovery
• Virtual Protection Groups (VPG)
• RTO and RPO • Consistency • Boot Order • Recovery Points
@Bluelock | www.bluelock.com
Choose Your Recovery Point • You are not limited to recovering from just the latest instance • Choose from recovery points prior to the disaster, allowing
peace of mind that you’ll bring back your workload from a non-corrupted state
@Bluelock | www.bluelock.com
Zero Footprint, Extremely Efficient
• Replicates at the hypervisor level: – No agent installation or
rebooting of applications to get up and running
– No rework of the application required
Don’t force your app to fit the DR. Choose DR that fits the app.
@Bluelock | www.bluelock.com
What’s Stopping You?
• If the world is a scarier place and you’re more at risk and new DR solutions are more compelling—why aren’t you doing this? – Not a priority – DR is too expensive – Connecting to the cloud is complex – Cloud is still scary – Not in our skill set to plan and manage DR

To-Cloud RaaS
bluelock.com/cloud-services/raas/to-cloud-dr/
@Bluelock | www.bluelock.com
To-Cloud RaaS Use Case #1: Education
• Did not have a cloud strategy, RaaS was first foray into cloud – Keeping existing datacenter for most workloads
• High-risk location for hurricanes • Needed aggressive RTO/RPO for
production apps • Couldn’t fit DR into budget based on
traditional warm-site model; highly cost sensitive
@Bluelock | www.bluelock.com
To-Cloud RaaS Use Case #2: Financial and Healthcare
• Compliance-sensitive workloads • Was backing up to cloud but moved to
RaaS for better application protection – Needed RaaS to backup cloud assets, with
automation (efficiency) • More aggressive RTO/RPO to return
production apps to service quickly, meet requirements
@Bluelock | www.bluelock.com
In-Cloud RaaS
bluelock.com/cloud-services/raas/in-cloud-dr/
@Bluelock | www.bluelock.com
In-Cloud RaaS Use Case #1: Software
• Production SaaS app currently running in the cloud
• Needed to protect the application from disruption because it’s a primary revenue source
• DR was expensive, but RaaS offered the value and efficient pricing that made protection possible
@Bluelock | www.bluelock.com
In-Cloud RaaS Use Case #2: Technology
• Production SaaS app hosted in the cloud • Concerns over data corruption (SQL and
software updates) • Protected by consistency groups and
recovery points • Easy testing—it had to work!

Budgeting for RaaS
• During replication: – 100% of storage cost – 100% of replication network traffic – 20% of CPU – 20% RAM – Pay-as-you-go software licenses
• During testing/failover:
