Cloud Computing Leader Leverages Proven Technologies, Expertise to
Deliver Reliable, Cost-Effective Managed Disaster Recovery Services
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 2009--
Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:TMRK), a leading global provider of
managed IT infrastructure services, today announced the most recent
addition to its portfolio of virtualized services with the launch of
cloud-enabled disaster recovery services. Terremark’s Virtualized
Disaster Recovery solution provides customers with leading-edge, proven
solutions that leverage the company’s enterprise-class cloud computing
platform to deliver fully secure, pre-provisioned computing and network
capacity with advanced data replication and fully managed data center
failover.
This innovative disaster recovery solution, which supports a variety of
operating systems and enterprise applications and databases, provides
customers protection for their business-critical environments without
the cost or complexity of maintaining the server, networking, and
facility infrastructures at a secondary site. This service is based on a
time-tested framework developed by Terremark’s team of disaster recovery
experts and takes advantage of the company’s highly secure, top-tier
data center facilities to deliver reliable, repeatable and predictable
solutions that reduce recovery times to a matter of hours at a much
lower cost than that of traditional disaster recovery services.
ShawCor Ltd., a global energy services company, is leveraging the
flexible design framework to reduce risk, as well as cut overall
consulting and implementation costs. In addition, the on-demand
scalability offered by Terremark’s innovative solution allows ShawCor to
dynamically add capacity above its baseline requirements to meet its
real-time needs.
“With operations that span seven divisions around the world, the
consistent availability of our core applications are fundamentally
critical to the success of our company,” said Paul Gibson, ShawCor’s IT
Manager. “By utilizing the cost-effective, cloud-based disaster recovery
solution Terremark offers, we were able to replace a large capital
expense with an affordable and predictable recurring charge while
maximizing the uptime for our mission-critical systems. Terremark’s
solution provides full recovery capabilities in 15 minutes, which we
have successfully tested from our Houston data center to the NAP of the
Americas.”
Based on NetApp storage and VMware’s vSphere technologies, Terremark’s Virtualized
Disaster Recovery offers a diverse set of reliable options with
array-based, host-based, and application-based replication options,
support for physical or virtual source servers, and is suitable for
customer environments that range from the most basic to the most
sophisticated. On-demand managed security services like intrusion
detection, log aggregation, firewall services, and on-demand managed
backup services protect customer applications and data at similar or
higher levels of security than required in their production environments.
“With customers searching for disaster recovery solutions that provide
quick, reliable access to their environments at a fraction of the cost,
services based on proven technologies like Terremark’s cloud-based
offering present an ideal solution,” said Patrick Rogers, vice president
of Solutions Marketing for NetApp. “With NetApp’s industry-leading
storage platform acting as a critical component for its offering, we
believe Terremark’s cloud-enabled disaster recovery solution will
quickly become a solution of choice for enterprises and Federal
agencies.”
“Our cloud-based disaster recovery offering is more than just a
remote-replication solution; it is a complete cloud-based site
redirection service that incorporates the enterprise-class services
necessary to run IT operations securely in the event of a disaster
declaration,” said Tom Mays, Terremark’s Senior Vice President for
Advanced Data Solutions. “Terremark’s physical and information security,
trusted personnel, proven solution framework and industry-leading
connectivity to global networks make the service a DR/COOP solution our
customers can trust when a disaster strikes.”
