HIGH COSTS AND

COMPLEXITY CONTINUE TO BE TWO MAJOR CHALLENGES THAT PREVENT ORGANISATIONS FROM MEETING

THEIR RESILIENCY GOALS USING TRADITIONAL ON-PREMISES DISASTER RECOVERY

DEPLOYMENTS .

In its tests , Osool found that Xi Leap was able to handle its larger SQL databases with no issues and noted that its end users had a seamless experience after a failover test moved operations to the Xi Leap cloud . Osool was able to meet its mandatory RPO and RTO requirements using the new DR service .

The benefits of DR-as-a-service have been well documented . Infrastructure outages and disruptions continue to be common occurrences for many organisations . In 451 Research ’ s recent Voice of The Enterprise , Data Management and Disaster Recovery 2020 study , 30 % of respondents reported that they had suffered an outage in the past two years . And outages are costly for businesses . The study found that nearly half the respondents had outages that cost their organisations over US $ 100,000 .

Aaron White , Senior Sales Director , Middle East and Turkey at Nutanix , said : “ High costs and complexity continue to be two major challenges that prevent organisations from meeting their resiliency goals using traditional on-premises Disaster Recovery deployments . In recent years , cloud-based DR services have grown in popularity because they take advantage of the elastic capacity of cloud service providers and can keep costs down since expensive compute , storage and networking resources are only called into action when a disaster happens .

“ An additional benefit of cloud-based DR is simplified testing , which not only provides customers with peace of mind , but also reduces the amount of work IT professionals need to dedicate to DR implementation maintenance .”

He added : “ We commend Osool on the company ’ s forward thinking mindset of employing a future-proof DR-as-a-service technology solution like Xi Leap that helps provide always-on availability of applications and services and peace of mind to the IT team . We look forward to enlarging our technology engagement with the company in time to come .” �
