High Availability, Low Overhead

Carbonite Recover securely replicates critical systems from your primary environment to the Carbonite cloud. This ensures that an up-to-date secondary copy is available for failover at any moment, minimizing downtime as well as costs. You pay for what you use, when you use it - and not for idle resources.

Nearline DR Powered by Carbonite

This type of disaster recovery has been used for many years in banks and telecom operators. It is costly and is based on high capex/opex policy and procedure. However, it has shown to be a robust process.

Clients must rent a certain capacity from Cloud Acropolis and have them on at all times. The client's administrator must setup the servers in a proper manner and setup replication at OS or binary level of the application in one hand and Database synchronization via ASYNCH in the other hand.

Basically all the needed files and DB logs need to be sent to the VMs in Cloud Acropolis every 5 to 10 minutes. It is important to check that all the changes are implemented at each transfer. The normal periodicity of this transfer is every 15 minutes.

In time of Disaster, the Client's IT administrator must update network settings so users can be directed to Cloud Acropolis IP addresses.

How It Works

Efficiency at Every Step

  • Carbonite Recover agent is deployed to the systems being protected and the service is configured
  • Your systems will send data continuously, with minimal performance impact, to the Carbonite cloud

Reliable When It Matters

  • When an outage occurs, you can fail over to the secondary copy with just a few clicks
  • Within minutes, the cloud-based replicas will spin up and be available for use
  • With very current data and rapid recovery, many users won't experience a disruption in service
  • Once ready to fail back to primary systems, the process is easily reversed
