T-Systems: Global DR at Touch of Button With Automated Cloud Resiliency

DR as a service powered by Veritas Resiliency Platform, expanding range of vCloud services to include predictable DR to and from cloud

T-Systems International GmbH is expanding its range of vCloud services to include predictable DR to and from the cloud.


The DR as a service (DRaaS) is powered by the Veritas
Resiliency Platform, BC software from Veritas Technologies LLC, a provider in multi-cloud data management.

Nowadays, companies operate their applications in a largely virtualized manner and distribute them across different locations in private, hybrid and public clouds. In the past, standalone tools and manual processes were generally needed to monitor this infrastructure mix.

With this service, customers can ensure automatic failover and failback for their critical business applications even in complex multi-tier ecosystems. The company’s DSI vCloud DRaaS service orchestrates the multi-stage recovery process in the background with single click functionality. This helps customers reduce their operating costs by using one global single service covering their distributed physical, virtual and cloud environments. The service also makes it for customers to test their DR strategy in a non-disruptive way. Organizations will be able to proactively automate business recovery that can meet their critical recovery time requirements.

Integrated solution available
Company’s integrated solution functions independently of the underlying infrastructure, is easily manageable and provides automation for recovery operations including failover, failback and testing. The firm is offering the solution in all major economic regions including Europe, the United States and Southeast Asia.

With the technology from Veritas, we have completely automated the complete solution and can consequently offer our customers a service that is unique in the market,” says Frank Strecker, responsible, cloud business and the cloud ecosystem, Deutsche Telekom AG. “In our capacity as a cloud integrator, we are making it as easy as possible for our customers to use cloud services in a secure manner.

Our clients want to take full advantage of everything cloud technology has to offer and deploy it flexibly in a variety of scenarios,” says Mike Palmer, EVP and chief product officer, Veritas. “Thanks to the Veritas Resilience Platform and the service of T-Systems, customers can operate DR predictably and reliably to and from the cloud independently of the underlying infrastructure.

Additional technical details:
Instead of having to maintain expensive data centers that are brought online when main production data centers fail, customers can now link their networks to the required computing resources using DSI vCloud DRaaS to help reduce capital expenditure. They can make use of Service Level Objective Templates that offer the right RTO and RPO settings uniquely applied to their critical applications, reducing extensive manual operations. This makes the entire DR process predictable and manageable.

Working with an easy-to-use GUI, customers can activate the recovery process with a single mouse click, mirroring their applications and services to the virtual counterpart in the company’s cloud. In the case of a failover, vCloud DRaaS uses secure built in data movers to switch the business workloads from the customers` on-premises environment to the DSI vCloud.

To setup the DR process, the Resiliency Platform uses auto discovery to identify even the most complex multi-tier application ecosystems and allows customer to orchestrate the complete disaster process with simple drag and drop. An integrated single web-based dashboard in the GUI provides real-time monitoring and reporting on how business applications are meeting service level objectives. Customers will also see statistical data on how long recovery will take via non-disruptive recovery rehearsals.
