In this slidecast, Nicos Vekiarides from TwinStrata presents: TwinStrata CloudArray 4.5 with DRaaS. Today, we use a combination of TwinStrata, cloud storage and an always-on cloud compute environment to drive our disaster recovery strategy,” said Vernon Jackson, senior systems engineer, SEPA Laboratories. “While it works well, it's pretty costly to keep secondary infrastructure up and running in the cloud just so we can run DR tests once a quarter. With this new CloudArray DRaaS offering, we can eliminate eight months worth of cloud compute costs, while still maintaining a quarterly DR test schedule. That's a huge savings.” You can watch this presentation here: http://inside-bigdata.com/?p=3031

Significant administration

underutilized DR hardware
Double the server

Off-site location in
case of disaster
Exorbitant costs to support
• Hosted solution - or -
• Colocation solution - or -

RESULT: Cost & Maintenance Headache

Today’s “Cloud” Alternatives 13
Cloud-Hosted DR
§ Lease hot-standby or warm-
standby infrastructure
• Servers and storage
• Networks, firewalls, IP
addresses
§ Pay dedicated per month costs
• ~$5K-$8K/mo. to recover 50
VMs
Cloud-Compute DR
§ On-demand, but incompatible
environments
• VMware local
• Unknown hypervisor in cloud,
no admin access
§ Complex, risky orchestration
• Rely on VM conversion tools
• Or third party migration tools
