18-08-2009

Online backup provider and cloud hosting operator Vortex (www.vortexbackup.com) announced today that it had introduced its new Disaster Recovery, a virtualized disaster recovery product – Vortex Recovery (VR). Vortex says virtualisation – as in most use cases – speeds the disaster recovery process, while minimising cost and time investments associated with space and hardware sourcing. The company says the new service is a managed disaster recovery service, and provides a “safe, affordable and flexible” solution for ensuring rapid recovery of critical applications in the event of outages or disasters. According to Vortex, the service is designed in part to provide disaster recovery at a price point that will make it accessible to small and medium-sized businesses. “With this new service, businesses will have the option to remotely execute a full server recovery or achieve immediate failover using a high-availability solution,” says Grant Clifford, Director of Vortex. “The key benefit for SMBs is affordable disaster recovery with no previous hardware investment.” Vortex describes Vortex Recovery as “leveraging the latest virtualisation technologies,” Through the service, applications and data are replicated to a virtual environment, to which end users are re-routed in the event of an outage.
