Quorum onQ Flex for Hybrid Businesses Data Protection

Quorum Labs, Inc. announced onQ Flex, an extension that delivers on-demand one-click DR.

As part of Quorum’s onQ DR as a Service (DRaaS) product, onQ Flex empowers businesses to designate the data recovery priority level for each server-from instant to on-demand according to RTOs offering customers many of the benefits of a replicated data centre at a fraction of the cost.

The ability to recover critical data, systems, and applications after a failure or disaster is crucial to the continuity of business operations; on average, US businesses lose between $84,000 and $108,000 for every hour of IT system downtime, according studies and surveys performed by IT industry analyst firms. However, many DR solutions-particularly those that are within the budgets of SMBs-require hours or even days to get back online after a disaster and often lack the flexibility and scalability that growing businesses require.

onQ Flex helps businesses ensure seamless BC while reducing the costs and complexities typically associated with instant DR.

With onQ Flex, businesses are now able to:

Meet RTO needs with tiered protection – It enables IT administrators to assign different recovery levels to each server in an IT environment, ensuring that mission-critical data is available instantly while less-critical data is available when needed.
Scale flexibly and cost-effectively – It allows businesses to pay as they grow, only paying for what they need, when they need it. It allows for change from DR on Demand to Instant DR as mission critical servers grow and RTO requirements change.
Count on instant one-click recovery – It ensures that after any storage, server or complete site failure, up-to-date virtual clones of all protected servers are ready-to-run on local and remote appliances.
Save time with rapid deployment and simple management – no specialised knowledge is needed to deploy or manage onQ Flex; it is up and running in hours.

“As businesses continue to experience an explosion of data, much of which is becoming increasingly important to their health and operation, IT administrators are increasingly pressured to find cost-effective solutions for protecting critical business data,” said Walter Angerer, CEO, Quorum. “onQ Flex is the perfect solution for businesses with a variety of data, some of which is needed instantly in the event of a disaster and some of which may be needed at a later date. With onQ Flex, IT administrators can-for the first time ever-designate the level of protection individual servers require according to their RTOs such that every server is protected at a level that meets their needs while remaining cost-effective.“
