VirtualSharp Software, the leading provider of next-generation automated disaster recovery solutions for private and public clouds, announced a free edition of its flagship product, ReliableDR, which provides customers with production-ready disaster recovery replication functionality, heartbeat certification and RTO measurement. ReliableDR Free Edition is available for download at: http://virtualsharp.com/free.
Puleng Technologies, the local reseller of VirtualSharp, believes the announcement provides customers with the opportunity to leverage leading technology, addressing audit frailties surrounding virtual infrastructure disaster recovery and providing business with the necessary visibility into IT service recoverability. The technology is delivered and supported through local skills, which ensures accountability and drives project success.
"Recoverability of the virtual infrastructure is an emerging and significant component of an organisation's overall IT services availability and disaster recovery plan. Protection of the VMs needs to be taken into account during the planning stage of a server virtualisation deployment, as virtualisation presents new challenges and new options for service continuity protection," said Dave Russell, Research Vice-President at Gartner.
"Many organisations want to implement disaster recovery solutions that leverage their virtualisation and cloud investments, but find it difficult or complex to deploy," said Carlos Escapa, Co-Founder and CEO of VirtualSharp Software. "Our Free Edition enables users to experiment or put in production replication-based disaster recovery at zero cost."
ReliableDR Free Edition provides the following production-ready functionality:
* Replication: VMs are copied across data centres
* Heartbeat certification: automatic heartbeat checks for replica VMs
* Push button automation: automated failover of VMs, applications and IT services
* Failback: VMs can be replicated back to original data centre
* Zero footprint: no software is needed in the production data centre
Designed from the ground up for virtual data centres, ReliableDR Free Edition has a modular and extensive plug-in architecture that is 100% agentless. It supports all versions of vSphere, including the Essentials kits. Users of ReliableDR Free Edition also have access to online documentation and the Online Support Forum.
