Interoute has launched a self-service disaster recovery and backup service as part of its Virtual Data Center (VDC) offering, built into its pan European network and data center platform.
The disaster recovery and local backup capabilities are available to organizations that provision their on-demand computing, needs via Interoute’s VDC and are looking to build a resilient architecture across multiple geographically separated locations.
Currently, disaster recovery is being critically overlooked, mainly due to its cost. The old way of thinking was that DR was too expensive, but this has changed with the cloud. The tiers offered within Interoute’s self-service disaster recovery and backup service allow IT professionals to quickly build affordable data and application recovery strategies without the need to invest in a separate physical data centre.
Contrary to current solutions, enterprises won’t even need to pay for transporting data between Interoute’s VDC zones, saving on expensive data traffic costs when moving content from one VDC zone to another. Not only this, but its pricing model means that organizations only pay for the storage they use. This can be scaled to reflect demand, resulting in a service that is as cost effective as the public cloud and as secure as a private cloud.
Interoute’s Cloud Storage tiers are available via Interoute’s online application marketplace, “Interoute CloudStore.”
