SmartCloud Virtualized Server Recovery

Service detail

In today’s dynamic business environment, flexible, scalable and reliable server recovery is crucial in case of a disaster. However, your recovery time objectives may be difficult to achieve if your existing infrastructure does not support them.

IBM SmartCloud™ Virtualized Server Recovery can help reduce your recovery time and improve the reliability of your recovery infrastructure with a fully managed, robust server recovery solution designed to utilize IBM’s world-class cloud infrastructure.

Highlights

• Helps reduce server recovery time and improve recovery reliability by leveraging automation and cloud technologies
• Reduces the risk of failure on unlike hardware
• Provides remote server access tools to help reduce the costs and inconvenience of traveling to a physical site

As demand for continuous business operations increases, the need for a shorter recovery time in the event of a server disruption becomes more pressing. Maintaining in-house recovery servers can be expensive, and hiring a recovery service provider—although affordable—may not provide the extended support you need for multiple server types and for both virtualized and nonvirtualized environments. In the event of a disaster, a physical recovery approach may drastically increase the risk of data loss while also significantly increasing recovery time.

IBM SmartCloud™ Virtualized Server Recovery provides world-class automation and cloud tools to help facilitate quicker recovery time and increased reliability of your server recovery. Our service, supporting both virtualized and nonvirtualized servers, enables you to leverage a virtual machine (VM) running on cloud infrastructure to recover functions of selected servers. 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.
