And the reduced costs and global diversity made choosing Google Cloud Platform a no-brainer for us. By leveraging the Geminare DRaaS Platform and suite of offerings, we were able to expand our solution suite practically overnight.“
Paul Melidosian, solution specialist, EXPECTtech Solutions, a Geminare DRaaS and Google Coud Platform service provider, commented on his experience with his client Total Title Solutions: “Geminare DRaaS was deployed onto Google Cloud Platform and running within a few days, instantly protecting our client’s mission-critical applications, giving our customer the peace of mind to focus on their core business, and raising EXPECTtech to hero status.“
Prime candidates for Geminare DRaaS include mid-size and enterprise organizations that are managing or building DR infrastructures that involve costly hardware, software, networks, data centers, specialized skills, and substantial resources. These organizations can engage directly or via their preferred service provider.
Reflecting on the work with Google Cloud Platform, Geminare CEO, Joshua Geist, stated: “The strategic collaboration between Google Cloud Platform and Geminare is a natural fit, and has rapidly facilitated brilliant technology evolution and solution development. I could not be more excited to see how our service provider and customer ecosystem embrace the benefits that Geminare DRaaS, combined with Google Cloud Platform, has to offer.“
“Technology has an innate way of disrupting the status quo,” continued Geist. “There are many areas within the technology universe that have remained so stagnant for so long, that when you see a dramatic change happen, all you can do is nod your head in agreement. That’s what has happened in the DR world. The traditional build-it DR model, in place for over 20 years, has changed virtually overnight because of the disruptive force called DRaaS. DRaaS has put IT organizations back in direct control allowing highly cost-effective, evolutionary DR to be delivered.“
