Integrating existing data centres with Cloud resources

OneCloud Software has announced its OneCloud Recovery (OCR) software for integrating existing data centers securely with Amazon Web Services (AWS). OCR bridges the gap between the data center and the large-scale public cloud by providing the automation, scalability, and efficiency necessary to use a hybrid cloud for cost-optimized disaster recovery and business continuity.

Through its patent pending Automated Cloud Engine™ (ACE), OneCloud Recovery fully automates the creation of a virtual data center in AWS, replacing the need for costly secondary data centers filled with redundant infrastructure. OCR quickly and simply:
· Integrates into an existing VMware environment as a virtual appliance;
· Auto-discovers a company’s primary infrastructure;
· Automatically creates a virtual data center replica in AWS;
· Allows the configuration of simple policies based on RPO/RTO;
· Provides robust failover, failback, and testing capabilities; and
· Achieves service levels that are not possible with legacy techniques such as backup.

With OneCloud Recovery, companies have a hybrid cloud solution for disaster recovery that is dramatically easier, faster and less expensive than alternatives in the market today. OCR also eliminates the need for extensive cloud knowledge on the part of the user. With little operational overhead, OCR automatically sets up a secure replica of the data center in the cloud, thereby eliminating manual cloud provisioning and management.

OneCloud Recovery uses unique technology to optimize for cloud economics, capacity and compute. Resources are allocated and consumed only as needed, reducing the cost of data protection. Companies pay for only what they use, achieving broad data protection at a fraction of the cost of standard solutions.
OneCloud Recovery also ensures the security of both the applications and the data in the cloud through complete data encryption. A unified view provides a simple, single screen for efficient cloud management.

With OneCloud Recovery, companies ultimately possess a remarkably simple, flexible and cost-effective enterprise data center extension in the cloud.

“The cloud is a powerful resource that provides flexibility and operational cost advantages, but creating a replica virtual data center in the cloud for DR that is secure and cost-optimized can be a daunting task,” said Marc Crespi, CEO at OneCloud Software. “The OneCloud Recovery solution dramatically simplifies that process, making it fast and affordable for customers to protect their data and applications in a hybrid cloud environment.”
