Contour Cloud supports virtual environment for both VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V,. Leveraging Virtual Replication in order to deliver enterprise-class disaster recovery between private clouds, from satellite offices or DRaaS to the Contour Cloud with the same single software solution:
- Private Cloud – Any Storage Platform
- Hybrid Cloud – DRaaS, Intra-Cloud and reverse DRaaS
- Satellite Office – Any Distance
- Public Cloud – DRaaS from Azure and or AWS
Standby – This is a fully replicated data set of your data. RPO 24 Hours and RTO can be in a little as minutes. Pricing is based on the storage and licensing used while in standby; you only pay for your private cloud resources when a disaster is declared. With Standby DRaaS, gain protection from critical incidents without paying for redundant infrastructure.
Active – Suited for organizations with the strictest business continuity and compliance needs, Orange’s Active Disaster Recovery as a Service features a fully customizable, isolated Dedicated Private Cloud environment. Backed by our industry-leading disaster recovery SLA and SLO, Active DRaaS delivers recovery objectives (RPO and RTO) in minutes. The cloud environments are ideal for users with complex architectures and advanced configuration requirements, as well for those who need to move data before a disaster hits.
Contour Cloud provide a range of storage classes to meet the needs of compliance archives for regulated industries or active archives for organizations who need fast, infrequent access to archive data. Contour Vault Lock (Via Commvault) provides write-once-read-many (WORM) storage to meet compliance requirements for records retention. Lifecycle policies make transitioning data from tiers of storage simple, helping automate the transition based on customer-defined policies.
- Restore deletions quickly with Journal File Level Recovery
- Built-in 30-day journal retention gives thousands of recovery intervals with seconds of granularity
- Contour Cloud backup file is compressed, portable and restorable across multiple hypervisor, storage, and cloud platforms
- Offsite backup taken from the replicated data, not production, ensuring no backup windows or snapshots are ever run against production
- No need to try and schedule multiple backup jobs within a specific time frame
