The joint nScaled-NetApp architecture solution supports organizations with extremely low tolerance for the unavailability of data and business-critical systems. nScaled helps companies maximize and protect their NetApp storage investments without the need for duplicate hardware, software and data center infrastructure capital expenditures. Rather than spending more capital, nScaled’s DRaaS solution preserves capital by providing a flexible, pay-as-yougo service model.
THE CHALLENGE Critical data infrastructure and downtime can have a crippling affect on your customers, employees, and partners - ultimately adversely impacting revenues and brand integrity. At the same time, enabling data availability and recoverability at low cost can be complex, risky and challenging. This is especially true of tape or homegrown approaches (typically duplicative infrastructure) which offer limited automation, recovery scope and recovery times. They can also be cost-prohibitive to implement.
IT BUSINESS CONTINUITY WITH NSCALED nScaled’s platform directly integrates with NetApp storage systems using ONTap API technology, and positions NetApp customers to replace limited or outdated backup, IT business continuity and long-term storage solutions with an automated, easy to use, integrated platform. Through a single, intuitive interface, users can protect both local and remote sites. For anytime-anywhere access and control, nScaled’s Console puts sophisticated, enterprise-class IT business continuity capabilities within your reach at a fraction of the cost of traditional approaches that require hours or days to recover, or are prohibitively expensive for all but the largest enterprises. nScaled provides the scalability and security of a private cloud plus the lower cost, simplified management and increased flexibility of public clouds. This hybrid model lets you choose where to run primary applications, where to back up and where to fail over. Additionally, it provides a way to simply and easily test disaster recovery scenarios without impacting production systems.
SOLUTION BRIEF
KEEPING MISSION-CRITICAL DATA SYSTEMS UP AND RUNNING NSCALED RANKED A DRAAS LEADER “In addition to broad platform support, the nScaled solution has a highly automated change management methodology. One of the greatest differentiators of nScaled’s service, however, is its testing capability: It allows customers to activate up to three concurrent servers on demand at any time, for no additional cost. Because of this, nScaled customers are using their DR assets for testing and analytics today, something that most DRaaS providers only aspire to offer.”
