SmartCloud Virtualized Server Recovery

• Helps reduce server recovery time and improve recovery reliability by leveraging automation and cloud technologies
• Minimizes the risk of failure to recover on unlike hardware
• Provides remote server access tools to help reduce the costs and inconvenience of travel

As demand for continuous business operations increases, the need for a shorter recovery time in the event of a disaster becomes more pressing. Yet maintaining in-house redundant recovery servers can be costly. Hiring a recovery service provider can provide an affordable option, but not all third-party providers support multiple server types and both virtualized and nonvirtualized server environments. Should the unthinkable happen, you don’t want to increase the risk of data loss during long recovery time with physical recovery approach.

IBM SmartCloud Virtualized Server Recovery service provides world-class automation and cloud tools to help speed recovery times and increase the reliability of your server recovery. Our service, which supports both virtualized and nonvirtualized servers, enables you to recover the functions of selected servers on a virtual machine (VM) running on cloud infrastructure at IBM Recovery Center. We provide you with a range of options including “always available virtual machine,” virtual machine available only for use during “disaster and test” and virtual machine for importing server images and backup data from storage media.
