PerTECHtual Adds Recovery-as-a-Service Platform

PerTECHtual
Ltd, the BC specialists, launched a new Recovery-as-a-Service (RaaS)
offering based on Citrix CloudPlatform and Vision Solutions’ Double-Take Cloud
Protection and Recovery (CP&R) For Apache CloudStack.

This is the first RaaS launch worldwide that is based on CloudPlatform.

By using Double-Take and CloudPlatform together, PerTECHtual offers a, HA service in a secure enterprise cloud that is simple to manage,
cost-effective, and versatile. If a failure occurs in a customer’s IT
infrastructure, they can spin up their replicated server images within
the private cloud recovery system, eliminating potential risk to their business
and ensuring continuity of IT services. The customer can then take the time
they need to fix the issue causing the downtime, before returning to normal
operations using reverse replication.

Jay Bharvada, director of PerTECHtual,
commented: "Our business is built on
providing true resilience, from contingency email services through to our HA DR
solutions, hosted in our private secure clouds. Our new RaaS
platform offers great flexibility. For example, recovery tests can be conducted
at any time, with no adverse effect on live systems. This is an amazing
opportunity for companies, who no longer have to rely on costly secondary DR
sites or inadequate online storage. Moreover, with virtually no CapEx and low
OpEx, our scalable RaaS platform is an economically viable
option for businesses of any size."

"Our
decision to implement this solution was an easy one," Bharvada
explained. "The complete management
stack offered by CloudPlatform is a huge advantage, as it enables more
efficient onboarding of customers. Also, our past experience with Double-Take
has proved it to be extremely reliable, in addition to its impressive features,
which include ease of implementation and near-zero downtime. Together, they
have enhanced our ability to both migrate and protect data from physical,
virtual and other cloud server platforms. Our service is now even more
versatile and efficient, making it easier to provide the resilience that is so
vital to a company."

Ian Masters, sales director Northern
Europe for Vision Solutions, said: "Our
integration with Citrix CloudPlatform and Apache CloudStack gives resellers,
service providers and end-user organisations the ability to extend their cloud
services into real-time replication and RaaS. This integrated
solution provides service providers with a much quicker route to market and
organisations can get their server images into the cloud without experiencing
downtime. This makes cloud migration and recovery an appealing option for
customers as they can be more flexible in their approach."
