MirrorCloud From Zenith Infotech

Zenith Infotech Ltd, a company specializing in cloud, business-continuity and virtual help-desk solutions, introduces MirrorCloud, a business continuity system for the upper SMB market.

By leveraging the SmartStyle computing platform’s data mirroring and snapshot process, MirrorCloud provides a high level of protection for Windows servers or desktops, increasing Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs). MirrorCloud quickly reproduces a virtual image of any failed server or desktop within minutes, circumventing downtime should disaster strike. It is the latest add-on to Zenith’s SmartStyle Computing line of cloud solutions.

Leveraging Zenith’s SmartStyle Computing platform, MirrorCloud is for companies between 500 and 1,000 users requiring less than 100 TB of storage. Since the virtual ‘mirror’ images are presented at block level, settings such as the NetBIOS name, IP address and more remain the same within the replicated data scheme. Once the server or desktop is virtualized, a live bare-metal restore (BMR) can be invoked for data restoration to physical hardware. Live BMR allows users to continue to access data while the BMR is taking place, further increasing up-time.

"MirrorCloud is a key development in what we call our Cloud Revolution," said Ryan Morse, director of product management for Zenith Infotech. "Its Business Continuity features have catapulted SmartStyle Computing beyond the small business environment, facilitating an exceedingly reliable cloud-based infrastructure. The technical prowess of this application singles out the Zenith brand in the business continuity space. It will compel the cloud computing trend forward, removing one of the cloud’s perceived barriers-to-market."
