CloudEndure Disaster Recovery

CloudEndure Disaster Recovery, available from the AWS Marketplace, continuously replicates server-hosted applications and server-hosted databases from any source into AWS using block-level replication of the underlying server. CloudEndure Disaster Recovery enables you to use AWS Cloud as a disaster recovery Region for an on-premises workload and its environment. It can also be used for disaster recovery of AWS-hosted workloads if they consist only of applications and databases hosted on EC2 (i.e. not RDS).

Features of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery:

1. Continuous replication: CloudEndure Disaster Recovery provides continuous, asynchronous, block-level replication of your source machines into a staging area. This allows you to achieve sub-second Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs), since up-to-date applications are always ready to be spun up on AWS if a disaster strikes.
2. Low-cost staging area: Data is continually kept in sync in a lightweight staging area in your target AWS Region. The staging area contains low-cost resources automatically provisioned and managed by CloudEndure Disaster Recovery. This eliminates the need for duplicate resources and significantly reduces your disaster recovery total cost of ownership (TCO).
3. Automated machine conversion and orchestration: In the event of a disaster or drill, CloudEndure Disaster Recovery triggers a highly automated machine conversion process and a scalable orchestration engine that quickly spins up thousands of machines in your target AWS Region in parallel. This enables Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) of minutes. Unlike application-level solutions, CloudEndure Disaster Recovery replicates entire machines, including OS, system state configuration, system disks, databases, applications, and files.
4. Point-in-time recovery: Granular point-in-time recovery allows you to recover applications and IT environments that have been corrupted due to accidental system changes, ransomware, or other malicious attacks. In such cases, you can launch applications from a previous consistent point in time rather than launching applications in their most up-to-date state. During the recovery, you can select either the latest state or an earlier state from a list of points in time.
5. Easy, non-disruptive drills: With CloudEndure Disaster Recovery, you can conduct disaster recovery drills without disrupting your source environment or risking data loss. During exercises, CloudEndure Disaster Recovery spins up machines in your target AWS Region in complete isolation to avoid network conflicts and performance impact.
6. Wide application and infrastructure support: Because CloudEndure Disaster Recovery replicates data at the block level, you can use it for all applications and databases that run on supported versions of Windows and Linux OS.
