Top Features of the NAKIVO Disaster Recovery Solution

Protect Your Virtual Infrastructure

Easily create incremental replicas of critical VMware vSphere VMs, Microsoft Hyper-V VMs, Proxmox VE VMs and Amazon EC2 instances using source VMs or existing backups. Choose real-time replication to achieve the tightest RPO of up to 1 second for your VMware machines.

Perform Non-Disruptive DR Testing

Test your disaster recovery plans and adjust DR resources before implementing them in production. You can schedule DR testing or conduct on-demand tests for different workflows without impacting your production environment. You can also verify that replicas are bootable and meet your recovery objectives.

Diversify Storage for Maximum Resilience

Store replicas in a powered-off state at the remote DR site or in the cloud to be able to switch instantly when a disaster strikes. With NAKIVO, you can leverage a variety of storage options, reducing reliance on any single system and ensuring uninterrupted access to your data.

Implement Reliable DR Automation

The software for disaster recovery from NAKIVO allows you to automate backup, replication and custom DR plans so you can switch to the replica almost instantaneously following a disaster. You can also automatically map networks and IP addresses between source workloads and target workloads. Additionally, you can configure the solution to regularly check the status of VMs and DR processes and send notifications when necessary.

Simplify DR Management and Administration

With real-time IT monitoring, you can get a detailed view of your infrastructure to detect shortages and maintain optimal performance. None of your DR activities affect production network performance with features like LAN-free data transfer mode (Direct SAN access or HotAdd), network acceleration and bandwidth throttling. These features shorten backup windows and reduce network load during working hours.

Comply with Security Requirements

With disaster recovery orchestration and flexible recovery options, the NAKIVO solution helps you maintain business continuity even in the worst-case scenarios, meeting the requirements of security regulations and standards like NIST, NIS2 and others. The solution also delivers powerful security features like backup encryption, immutability and access control, helping you improve your data resilience against cyber threats.

FAQ

What is a disaster recovery solution?

A disaster recovery solution like NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides orchestration capabilities for complex DR sequences. It allows you to maintain service availability following a natural disaster, cyberattacks, ransomware infections or other incidents that can bring down your primary infrastructure. DR solutions automate workflows such as failovers, failbacks and datacenter migration to quickly restore critical workloads and achieve tighter RPOs and RTOs.

What is included in a disaster recovery plan?

To create the perfect DR plan for your infrastructure, you must assess your workloads and identify critical VMs and data. In addition, you should define the different processes involved in the disaster recovery strategy to reduce complexity and simplify management. Keep in mind that a DR plan also depends on your budget.

What’s the difference between data backup and disaster recovery?

Backups simply create a copy of your data that you can store onsite or offsite and recover when necessary. Disaster recovery is a set of processes that restore your entire system as quickly as possible in case of a disaster, disruption or ransomware attack. Read more about data backup vs disaster recovery.

Can I test disaster recovery workflows?

The NAKIVO solution allows you to test your DR workflows without disrupting your production environment. The main purpose of DR testing is to check whether your planned operations and infrastructure can meet your SLAs and RTOs. You can also uncover gaps in your plan and avoid unforeseen issues before a disaster strikes.

What are the best storage methods for disaster recovery?

There are three common methods that you can use to store data for disaster recovery purposes, each with its pros and cons.

You can use a private data center to quickly restore your workloads following a disaster however, you might incur some overhead costs.
The second method is cloud disaster recovery which is more affordable and scalable. More importantly, it is highly efficient since you can recover from an outage in minutes.
It is also possible to use a hybrid approach by combining a public cloud with a local data center to benefit from higher flexibility and lower costs.

What is disaster recovery orchestration?

Disaster recovery orchestration allows you to initiate a preconfigured failover to a recovery site with a single click when the main site is down. Then, you can perform a failback and move all your VMs from the DR site to the primary site.

Can I offer DRaaS to my clients?

Yes. Managed service providers (MSPs) can use NAKIVO’s solution in multi-tenant mode to offer disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) and help their clients recover from different disaster scenarios. The solution also simplifies management by allowing MSPs to distribute resources among clients and connect to their environments without a VPN.
