Affordable Disaster Recovery For All Of Your Applications

When looking to put disaster recovery facilities for your IT infrastructure in place, the costs involved normally makes this a luxury that we cannot afford. With many applications running across many different servers, some of which using different versions of the operating systems and each demanding their own configuration, how can we possibly provide enough hot-standbys to ensure that every eventuality is covered?

PlateSpin Forge is a completely new approach to providing contingency to your hardware, software and data. It combines hardware with virtualisation technology to provide a ready-to-use back-up platform that can host any application with its own configured version of the operating system within a separate virtual environment.

Traditionally, for mission critical applications, organisations would need to have an additional server configured and waiting for the time the primary server failed. For organisations with many applications and many servers, this is a very costly approach, and as such, only the most critical of applications are catered for in this manner.

PlateSpin Forge works differently; it allows for a single contingency platform to be used, but configured to take on the workload of up to 25 different servers.

What makes PlateSpin Forge unique is the way it enables you to configure this virtual hardware appliance from a single point of control with all of the workloads, including both applications and data from your primary servers. The PlateSpin Forge appliance is then kept synchronised with your server workloads automatically at the time interval defined by you: hourly, weekly or monthly. This enables you to restore workloads at a particular point in time. In the event of downtime, workloads can be quickly transferred to PlateSpin Forge and continue to operate on this appliance until the primary server is restored.

This scenario is ideal for small to medium businesses looking for an affordable out-of-the-box Disaster Recovery Solution.
