According to a report by Forrester Research and Disaster Recovery Journal, only 55% of midsize and large companies have a disaster recovery plan. That is, in 45% of cases, business is simply not ready for such situations. And the price of carelessness is high: according to Aberdeen, on average, companies pay from $164,000 per hour of IT infrastructure downtime. And for some enterprises, down-time may end fatally (data from the spring of 2017).

A backup site as a service is the easiest and most efficient way to ensure your business continuity, 100% protection of your data, and full redundancy of your IT infrastructure without any capital costs.

This service is useful to those who care about business continuity even if the underlying IT infrastructure is broken or significantly damaged. First of all, the product is addressed to those who already have a virtual infrastructure (virtualization platform) based on VMware vSphere, but who are not ready to build (or rent) and equip a backup data center, that is, buy (or rent) a physical IT infrastructure, licenses for virtualization software, special software for data replication and management of a backup site.

The same technology can be used to migrate from VMware vSphere to the cloud to OpenStack.

Nikolai Smirnov, CEO of Hystax: The threat of an accident is not something ephemeral, it is very real and can hit at the most unexpected moment. It is the responsibility of IT managers to be ready for it and have a Disaster Recovery plan, as well as the technical ability to recover with minimal downtime of business applications and losses for the company. The causes of accidents in most cases are not any natural disasters, but failures in the operation of the IT infrastructure and human errors. You don't need to go far for examples: just remember the recent production problems at Amazon and GitLab. We are pleased to contribute to ensuring the stability and safety of the work of Russian business.
