Automated Disaster Recovery
Traditional data center disaster recovery solutions target a limited set of static devices or applications. They can be prohibitively expensive, rarely address the human workflow processes and provide limited simulation functionality to validate recovery scenarios against dynamically changing data center configurations. Further complicating the recovery process are response teams that are organized across IT service disciplines, not data center processes. As a result, the processes often require many stakeholders, extended analysis and communication times and multiple chains of approvals before the first recovery step can be taken. Each minute lost results in unacceptable financial losses to the business and immeasurable damage to corporate image.
iWave’s Automated Disaster Recovery (ADR) Accelerator is a powerful IT process automation solution that delivers measurable improvement in disaster recovery operating expenses and lowers recovery costs. The ADR Accelerator, powered by iWave Orchestrator, is an end-to-end solution that includes powerful workflow Design Studio, pre-built recovery workflow models, embedded testing and simulation, and a real-time Operations Dashboard for continuous service-level monitoring. ADR enhances the existing operations procedures and systems management tools with little or no reconfiguration of existing systems.
ADR orchestrates multiple virtualization, physical, storage and network platforms, in-place systems management tools and existing processes. Orchestrator's fully-distributed architecture eliminates a single point of failure and provides maximum resiliency for the automated recovery from data center outages. Designed specifically to leverage virtualization technology to take advantage of its server consolidation, portability, and rapid recovery benefits, ADR helps you get started quickly with pre-built recovery models for all standard availability architectures, including Parallel (Active/Active), Hot Standby (Active/Hot or 1 of M/Hot), Cold Standby (Active/Cold or 1 of M/Cold), and Component Farm (N of M).
ADR leverages and enhances your existing technology investment, and adds powerful recovery workflow modeling to address the needs of geographically and functionally distributed operations teams.
