Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans have become imperative today in order to ensure sustainability of a business as well as to gain a competitive edge. However, there are several road blocks which prevent the implementation of a DR plan from being a success. Most prominent one is that DR does not feature in the list of fundamental objectives for most of the enterprises and there is a dearth of budgetary allocations to ensure business continuity. To make things worse, there are major concerns for cost and complexity of implementing DR plans. “The cure for this predicament in most of the scenarios is - Cloud-based DR solution which is the best way to achieve recovery capabilities of advanced DR services at an affordable price. Organizations can leverage disaster recovery and back up on cloud and Cloud-based DR can scale up dynamically to meet varying demand.” says Pravin Mohite, CEO of Hyderabad based Olive Data Centre Pvt Ltd.
Olive Data Centre has transformed the disaster recovery paradigm into one that is cost effective, rapid and reliable. It enables recovery for all of the production applications across an existing infrastructure and allows enterprises to increase application coverage for disaster recovery by protecting all of their important applications (Tier 0, 1, 2) instead of protecting just a handful of privileged Tier-0 applications.The company implements Cloud Protection and Recovery solutions that provide low-risk, near-zero downtime DR-as-a-Service (DRaaS) for organizations of all sizes and makes DRaaS affordable to customers while meeting their SLAs and RPO/RTO guidelines.
Operating primarily in BFSI and Health Care domains, Olive Data Centre deploys cloud based solutions while adhering to regulatory guidelines. The company offers hosting in Local Data Centres or even on Private Cloud. Standard issues like CAPEX for private cloud and Infrastructure costs are also taken care of in the solutions provided. When it comes to investment on DR, ODC enables clients to make a strategic shift from a CAPEX to OPEX-based business model, insulating them from repeated upgrades and investment into new technology.
When new features are added or the configurations for particular applications change, some of the changes may not be properly implemented to the DR environment. ODC deploys SAN strategy for data replication so that all changes are replicated automatically. The company provides solutions to ensure that customer has to bother only about performance of the systems while it takes care of scaling/compression and archiving of data. “Our deliveries are in tune with the SLAs committed and that is why the scaling of infrastructure, software and the associated expenses are no longer a concern for the customer. We strongly focus on the business objectives of our customers and ensure that IT is available to them as a service to meet their objectives.” winds up Mr. Mohite.
