Till recently, DR was considered an expensive investment and hence only large enterprises would opt for it. Many enterprises still think that implementing a data protection strategy is a compromise between security and organization’s business continuity requirements. Now DR as a Service has emerged as a viable alternative for most businesses. Harboring 19 years of extensive experience in handling customers’ business critical infrastructure Progression Infonet Private Limited, headquartered in Gurgaon, Haryana, offers secure DR and Back-up services. With adroit understanding of secured storage replication and back up, the company provides DRaaS with Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) that are optimal to businesses.
In today’s cloud environment, businesses are slowly getting aligned towards technology-enabled systems and at the same time becoming vulnerable to outages caused by natural or other intrusive attacks and disasters. That is when companies have to implement DR services to ensure uptime of businesses. Progression Infonet addresses these challenges with cloud-based DR solutions designed for small and medium size companies without upfront investments. “Companies can choose the parts of their IT setup that needs to be brought under our DRaaS. They can define the RPO and RTO as per their business needs,” says JB Hooda, Director, Progression.
Progression ensures that regular DR drills are conducted without needing a company’s internal resources to be deeply involved. “With our fully managed service, companies do not need to have highly trained DR teams to take care of their infrastructure,” adds Rohit Luthra, Director, Progression.
Prior to deploying DR and backup solutions, enterprises must be aware of the fact that setting up a DR environment involves testing and synchronization with the main production environment, which can affect uptime for business. However, Progression’s proven processes and technologies incorporated within the DR framework allow all testing and fine-tuning on a parallel run, without affecting the production environment’s performance. “In most of the cases, we need less than 4 hours of scheduled downtime to carry out final testing and synchronizing the DR setup with the production environment,” says Rohit.
“We help our customers define a long term strategy for managing storage. This revolves around adopting Software Defined Storage (SDS) in a progressive manner, which over a period of time will be able to offer total control on the varied type of Data Storage with built in intelligence and agility to autonomously manage it,” says JB Hooda.
Being an ISO 27001: 2013 certified company, Progression is extremely watchful about information security systems. The company relies on secured VPNs, world-class systems and strict processes to ensure complete safety and security of infrastructures, applications and data.
The company has envisioned expanding its presence for both Sales & Services Delivery IDCs across the country and venturing into business critical infrastructure and application stack deals in the future.
