Off-Site Disaster Recovery

eEVOS Off-Site Disaster Recovery

Off-Site Disaster Recovery is a critical feature in eEVOS that provides protection against catastrophic failures, whether caused by hardware issues, data corruption, or natural disasters. By replicating virtual machines (VMs) to a remote site, eEVOS ensures that your data and applications can be quickly recovered, minimizing downtime and ensuring business continuity.

1. Asynchronous VM Replication

eEVOS enables you to replicate VMs asynchronously to a remote eEVOS installation. This means that even while the primary system is running, changes to the VMs are periodically synced to the off-site location, ensuring that your backup is always up to date.

  • Data Protection: Asynchronous replication ensures that even if the primary system experiences an issue, the replicated data on the remote site remains intact and ready for recovery.
  • Reduced Latency: Unlike synchronous replication, asynchronous replication does not require the systems to wait for every change to be confirmed by the remote site, allowing for better performance.
  • Disaster Recovery Readiness: In the event of a disaster, the off-site copy of your VMs can be quickly brought online, ensuring that your services remain available.

2. Scheduled Replication

eEVOS provides the flexibility to schedule replication jobs based on your needs. You can define how frequently the VMs are replicated to the remote site, whether on a daily, hourly, or custom schedule.

  • Customizable Backup Strategy: Set replication schedules to fit your business needs, balancing data currency with system performance.
  • Automated Backups: eEVOS automatically manages the replication process, ensuring that your disaster recovery site is always prepared without manual intervention.
  • Granular Control: You can select individual VMs for replication or replicate entire clusters, providing flexibility in your disaster recovery planning.

3. Full VM Recovery

In case of a critical failure or disaster, eEVOS allows you to fully restore VMs from the off-site disaster recovery location. This ensures that your VMs, along with their data, configurations, and applications, are ready to be brought back online as soon as needed.

  • Seamless Recovery: Replicated VMs can be restored in full to ensure the fastest possible recovery with minimal configuration required.
  • Entire VM Recovery: Bring back the complete virtual environment, including system settings, to quickly restore operations.
  • Business Continuity: With off-site disaster recovery, you can continue operations in a different location, reducing the impact of the disaster.

5. Simplified Setup and Management

Setting up Off-Site Disaster Recovery in eEVOS is straightforward, with an intuitive interface that allows you to easily configure replication schedules and select which VMs or clusters to replicate.

  • User-Friendly Interface: eEVOS provides a simple setup wizard to configure off-site replication with minimal effort.
  • Centralized Management: Manage replication tasks and monitor the status of off-site backups from a central dashboard.
  • Scalability: eEVOS disaster recovery is scalable to your needs, whether you’re managing a few critical VMs or a large infrastructure with multiple clusters.

Conclusion

The Off-Site Disaster Recovery feature in eEVOS is an essential tool for businesses seeking to ensure the highest levels of data protection and availability. With asynchronous replication, scheduled backups, full VM and file-level recovery, and an easy-to-use interface, eEVOS provides a comprehensive solution that protects your infrastructure from data loss and ensures fast recovery in any disaster scenario.
