[January 04, 2012] VirtualSharp and AvantaaS announce new recovery as a service Tweet Jan 04, 2012 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- VirtualSharp Software, a provider of next generation automated disaster recovery solutions for private and public clouds, and AvantaaS, a channel cloud service provider in Spain, have announced the availability of a recovery as a service, or RaaS, for applications running on VMware vSphere. AvantaaS will offer a zero-footprint solution to customers wishing to protect their applications to the cloud, leveraging VirtualSharp's ReliableDR, a Disaster Recovery orchestration solution. The new RaaS offering will include fully automated Disaster Recovery testing to measure Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and enforce Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) at the application level. AvantaaS will make this service available through its network of integrators and consulting partners throughout Spain. "Our customers are demanding RaaS because it solves the traditional headaches of Disaster Recovery by removing complexity and risk," said Luis Garcia San Luis, Managing Director at AvantaaS. "As virtualization continues to penetrate the market, we expect RaaS to be one of the cloud killer applications, allowing customers to transition into cloud computing with peace of mind and increased cost efficiency." "We are very pleased to be partnering with AvantaaS and to deliver the benefits of DR Assurance on demand and as a service," said Carlos Escapa, CEO of VirtualSharp Software. "This partnership will enable customers to protect their applications in cloud environments without additional hardware or software investments." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
