Servosity Announces "UnCrashable" Disaster Recovery

Backup and disaster recovery provider Servosity recently announced on its blog that its servers are now “uncrashable.” The company released its UnCrashable Disaster Recovery Cloud as the backbone of its cloud-based recovery services, which allow managed service providers to protect their enterprise networks and data centers.

The February blog post expresses the capabilities of Servosity's cloud servers. MSPs can use the company's servers to manage virtual private networks and virtual routers, host firewalls, and access firewall as a service (FWaaS) and vpn as a service (VPNaaS) cloud-based services. in addition to relying on data backup as part of Servosity's disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) model.

Whereas traditional cloud storage backup provides only a place to access copies of files after a disaster such as a local server crash, DRaaS provides continuity with stand-by computing that can immediately address problems as they occur. Servosity's VP of Development Fury Christ addresses the nature of what the company accomplishes.

“Servosity’s UnCrashable™ DR has transformed the primitive, support-ticket based disaster recovery model into a modern disaster recovery in the cloud model that provides instantaneous booting of backup instances and network configuration of multiple booted instances though the customer’s browser. Virtual routers, Virtual firewalls, and VPN’s are all managed through a common, browser-based control panel by the customer instantly and whenever they choose,” Christ says.

Servosity also announced that it has become a sponsor of the OpenStack Foundation, a not-for-profit foundation that governs the open source OpenStack cloud computing platform. Servosity will provide its insight about disaster recovery to help the foundation continue to develop its cloud environment platform.

The OpenStack website boasts over 15,000 people in its development community who represent over 130 countries. The Foundation says it has received greater than $10 million in funding to support its mission “of becoming the ubiquitous cloud computing platform.”
