Flexible, Cost-Effective Infrastructure

ioReplicate reduces the high costs of traditional disaster recovery solutions by allowing organizations to use cost-efficient hardware instead of requiring identical and expensive infrastructure at DR sites. VergeOS’s flexibility ensures organizations can deploy a DR strategy that fits their budget without compromising on performance.

How ioReplicate Saves Costs:

  • Works with commodity hardware or existing infrastructure.
  • Compatible with bare-metal service providers for added flexibility.
  • Reduces dependency on identical, expensive hardware across locations.

Simplify DR with Virtual Data Centers

ioReplicate leverages VergeOS’s Virtual Data Centers (VDCs) to encapsulate the entire infrastructure into a portable, easily replicated unit. VDCs simplify testing by enabling IT teams to simulate realistic disaster recovery scenarios without impacting production.

Benefits of Virtual Data Centers:

  • Encapsulate virtual machines, storage, networking, and applications into a single element.
  • Seamlessly replicate VDCs across on-premises, remote sites, or third-party providers.
  • Simplify DR testing with realistic simulations using snapshots.

Efficient Data Replication

At the heart of ioReplicate is its ability to efficiently replicate data using global inline deduplication and ioClone snapshots. This ensures only unique, incremental data is transferred, minimizing bandwidth usage and reducing replication times.

Key Features of Efficient Replication:

  • Minimize bandwidth usage with global deduplication.
  • Fully configurable replication frequency to meet strict RPOs.
  • Supports many-to-one replication for centralized disaster recovery sites.

Advanced Software-Defined Networking

ioReplicate includes VergeFabric, an advanced software-defined networking (SDN) solution, to automate network failover and eliminate the need for identical networking hardware. VergeFabric ensures fast, reliable network recovery with features like dynamic routing and VPNs.

Networking Advantages of VergeFabric:

  • Virtualizes firewalls, routing, microsegmentation, and VPNs.
  • Automates failover with Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
  • Allows different hardware at DR sites, reducing costs and complexity.

Disaster recovery is the process of restoring IT systems, data, and infrastructure after a disruptive event, such as a natural disaster, cyberattack, or hardware failure. The goal of DR is to minimize downtime, ensure data integrity, and restore operations quickly.

A successful DR strategy typically includes:  

  • Data Backup: Regularly backing up data to prevent loss. 
  • Infrastructure Replication: Ensuring critical systems and configurations can be restored.  
  • Failover Mechanisms: Automating the switch to backup systems during an outage.  
  • Testing and Validation: Regularly testing the DR plan to ensure it works.  

While disaster recovery focuses on restoring IT systems and data after a disruption, business continuity encompasses a broader plan to keep all aspects of the business running during and after a disaster. DR is a subset of business continuity planning.

  • RPO (Recovery Point Objective): The maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. For example, an RPO of 4 hours means you can afford to lose data from the last 4 hours.  
  • RTO (Recovery Time Objective): The maximum amount of time it should take to restore operations after a disaster. For example, an RTO of 2 hours means systems should be up and running within 2 hours of a disruption.  

ioReplicate enables RPO and RTO windows of just a few minutes. 

Virtualization simplifies disaster recovery by encapsulating entire systems into virtual machines. ioReplicate's virtual data centers go a step further. They can be easily replicated and restored to different locations, enabling faster and more flexible recovery than physical systems.

Traditional DR solutions often face these challenges:

  • High costs due to duplicate hardware and software.
  • Fragmented tools and processes leading to inefficiencies and complexity
  • Difficulty in maintaining up-to-date configurations. Limited ability to test plans without disrupting production.

ioReplicate simplifies DR by integrating data replication, testing, and failover capabilities directly into VergeOS. It eliminates the need for expensive third-party tools, supports cost-effective hardware, and enables seamless recovery with minimal effort.
