Hosting.com Launches SAN2SAN Remote Data Replication Solution

Continuous offsite application availability and recovery offering leverages EMC's RecoverPoint software and VMware's Site Recovery Manager.

Hosting.com, a provider of managed hosting, cloud hosting and colocation solutions, yesterday announced the release of its fully-managed SAN2SAN Replication solution. The company avers that the SAN data replication service meets the needs of customers seeking a solution for disaster recovery, while providing cost-effective business continuity and application recovery. SAN2SAN Replication leverages EMC's RecoverPoint software and VMware's Site Recovery Manager to deliver enterprise-class offsite data protection and disaster recovery.

It says that the recovery solution provides continuous SAN-to-SAN, array-based replication of virtualized environments from the customer's premise to a company data center. The company manages all of the components of the solution, enabling a customer to build, test, and protect their organization with a comprehensive and highly automated recovery plan. SAN2SAN Replication protects organizations from data loss resulting from clinical disasters, such as a server failure or human error, and catastrophic disasters that can bring a company to a complete standstill.

The company claims that its SAN2SAN Replication service addresses a company's increased burden in meeting government regulations, creating uninterrupted user experiences, and safeguarding against malicious attacks. By introducing an EMC powered cloud-based BCDR (business continuity and disaster recovery) solution, customers will gain immediate access to a highly available, secure, and compliant solution that costs up to 75% less than traditional BCDR deployments.

"Customers are requesting the ability to utilize their existing environment and drive new cost efficiencies in order to achieve offsite data recovery and compliance. Our SAN2SAN Replication solution accomplishes these goals by allowing our customers the ability to use their existing infrastructure, increase performance, and shift disaster recovery spending from a capital expense to an operational expense with minimal infrastructure investment," commented Art Zeile, Hosting.com's CEO.

"EMC is committed to working with our service providers like Hosting.com to deliver trusted, enterprise-class cloud services that allow our mutual customers to choose the right source for every IT workload. Hosting.com's focus on the cloud and backup and recovery marketplaces and its corporate goal of providing customers with an Always On experience compliments EMC's technology and the combination will deliver a comprehensive portfolio of cloud-based business continuity and disaster recovery solutions," said EMC's Dennis Hoffman, Senior Vice President, Service Providers.
