Sungard Availability Services Extending Recovery Solutions on Amazon Web Services

Sungard Availability Services (Sungard AS) announced it is extending its recovery solutions on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to provide virtual recovery services on the AWS cloud platform.

With a Sungard tailored AWS solution, organizations can tap into a cost-effective, easy-to-implement recovery solution not just for AWS, but across their entire set of enterprise solutions.

The company’s AWS Recovery Solution allows Sungard to expand its offerings to provide backup, vaulting and recovery services into the AWS U.S. East and West Regions. Customers can be assured their data is replicated quickly and fully so that they will always have continuous access to applications to perform critical functions.

“Sungard delivers a range of recovery services that, when used in conjunction with cloud services, provide a resilient and scalable architecture,” said Jack Dziak, EVP, global products, Sungard. “Now, specifically for AWS, customers can experience the full capabilities of Sungard – including OS recovery, storage replication, off-site storage and automated recovery of protected workloads – as a fully managed, utility-priced service on AWS.”

The company’s solution combines tested and proven Sungard recovery products and services with AWS cloud-based storage. For decades, thousands of organizations have relied on Sungard for production and non-producton alike. Now, instead of using their own on-premise DR site, customers can leverage AWS to execute recovery. Source data is protected from many different locations whether on AWS, co-located, in an on-pr,se environment or other cloud environments.

The company’s AWS Recovery Solution is based on Actifio, Inc.‘s set of technologies and services and proprietary orchestration integration with the AWS platform. Actifio, the copy data virtualization company, applies patented technology and capabilities for AWS to allow service providers to reduce the time to market for new data services drastically. This also enables them to build new services without a large CapEx outlay.

The company provides replication across dedicated networks into AS to help maintain system and data integrity. Company’s reliable recovery solution leverages a cost efficient utility pricing model so that users only pay for recovery compute services when they need it most. Organizations can be confident they have a reliable recovery solution for the evolving needs of businesses that are shifting their internal operations and businesses to the cloud.

The company’s AWS Recovery solution is available in the AWS U.S. East and West Regions.
