Disaster Recovery As a Service (DRaaS) from Skytap

Skytap understands that disaster recovery is a critical business function, especially for organizations running on IBM servers. DRaaS enables the delivery of a hot backup environment using cloud-based hardware infrastructure instead of an in-house on-premise server. With Skytap, you can essentially replace your on-premise DR server with a fully managed and monitored environment in the cloud. The Skytap portal makes it easy to configure and manage all aspects of production-equivalent environments, including allocating resources such as CPW, memory, storage, and networking configurations. If your business needs more computing power, memory, or storage, it can be easily added to the environment.

Pilot Light Your Cloud Strategy

Using Skytap for DRaaS gives your business experience having IBM i or other legacy environments in the cloud, proving out the ability to move production environments and workloads into the cloud when necessary. With native workloads in the cloud, your business can consider how it can begin to innovate, become more responsive, gain flexibility with legacy applications, and reduce costs.
