Business Continuity-as-a-Service
Cherub Networks iTGuardian uses a powerful workload protection solution that protects and rapidly recovers whole server workloads including data, applications and operating systems all from our single managed control center. In the event of a production server outage or disaster, workloads will be rapidly powered on by our 24x7x365 Managed Services Command Center and continue to run as normal until the production environment is restored. This service provides a simple and flexible solution for protecting physical and virtual workloads in the data center.
Protect more workloads in the data center with affordable consolidated recovery.
With iTGuardian, organizations can protect workloads across geographically-dispersed sites and rapidly recover in the event of server downtime or a site disaster, all hosted and managed by Cherub Networks.
By using our services as a consolidated recovery platform, organizations can better protect a larger percentage of workloads without having to invest in costly duplicate hardware or redundant operating system licenses. In addition to standard file-based replication, high-speed block-level replication options allow enterprise customers to protect high transactional workloads, such as email and database servers. Efficient incremental transfers ensure that only changes to source data files are replicated to the remote recovery environment, minimizing WAN usage and enabling organizations to efficiently meet recovery point objectives (RPO) with minimal data loss. iTGuardian also integrates with existing storage area networks, allowing enterprises to seamlessly protect a greater share of workloads across the SAN.
Quickly and easily test the integrity of disaster recovery plans and processes.
Gain peace-of-mind that the recovery plan is sound before a disaster occurs. Experts recommend that recovery solutions should be tested at least every six to twelve months, Cherub Network will test these at no added cost to you. Despite its importance, regular testing is often overlooked because the complexity of traditional recovery infrastructures makes testing onerous. Test Time Objective (TTO), or the speed and ease with which a recovery plan can be tested, is emerging as a key measure of recovery effectiveness. iTGuardian enables one-click test recovery, allowing users to easily and rapidly test the integrity of the replication and recovery plan. To perform a test failover that takes a snapshot of the recovery workload and powers it on within a private internal network. This allows the user to quickly validate the recovery plan and related business services with no disruption to the production workload. Once the disaster recovery plan has been validated, iTGuardian drops any changes that have occurred on the recovery workload snapshot during the testing process and resumes workload replication.
Rapidly recover workloads with one-click fail-over and flexible restore options. Power on recovery workloads with a single click and restore to the same or different hardware.
In the event of a production server outage or disaster, protected workloads can be rapidly recovered on a per-workload basis with single-click fail-over - just reconnect sessions and it takes over the workload. The workload can continue to run as normal with our Business Continuity service while the production environment is restored. Once the production environment is brought back online, we offer flexible options for restoring workloads. If the original production server is repaired and the hardware is intact, users can move the workload from the virtual recovery environment back to the original platform by performing a virtual-to-physical (V2P) workload transfer. If the original hardware cannot be repaired, users can restore the workload with a V2P transfer onto new hardware. Workloads can also be easily moved to a production virtual environment. Flexible, hardware-independent restore means that new hardware may be of a dissimilar make, model or configuration. Organizations have the flexibility to select multiple recovery points so that workloads can be rolled back to any of a number of available recovery states.
