NEC & RackWare Announce Workload Migration & Disaster Recovery within Iron Mountain Data Center


NEC Corporation of America (NEC (News - Alert)), a leading technology integrator of advanced IT and communications solutions, and RackWare, the software provider that integrates data center and cloud resources into a scalable and intelligently managed computing environment, today announced the availability of the RackWare Management Module (RMM) for migration and disaster recovery to NEC's Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Cloud offering, located in Iron Mountain's national underground data center in Pennsylvania. NEC will showcase the solution in booth #1033 during Interop (News - Alert) Las Vegas, April 27 through May 1 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.

The new solution, available April 27, enables enterprises to migrate and protect any workload using NEC's infrastructure located within Iron Mountain's National Underground Data Center, and quickly expand existing workloads within the data center using RMM.

The detailed benefits enterprises receive from this joint solution include:

  • Dramatically reducing the complexity and increasing the speed of migrating complex workload environments to NEC's infrastructure located within Iron Mountain's (News - Alert) National Underground Data Center - reducing the time to migrate from an average 20 weeks to only three days.
  • Encapsulating workloads into portable RMM "containers" and rapidly replicating servers into new environments for speedy and error-free expansion.
  • Providing enterprise-class Disaster Recovery through NEC's infrastructure in Iron Mountain's National Undergroud Data Center at a fraction of the cost by protecting critical workloads. RMM's failure detection, replication, failover to NEC's infrastructure and failback features provide automated recovery from failures, allowing business to go on despite failures.



"RackWare has invested in integration efforts to ensure NEC's Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) offering meets strict regulatory compliance needs for Disaster Recovery," said Sash Sunkara, CEO of RackWare. "We will jointly sell the solution with NEC to support enterprises in their migration and Cloud DR projects."

"The need to implement cost effective and easily managed Disaster Recovery is a top concern among our customers' executive management teams," said Hide Senta, vice president, Enterprise Technologies-IT, NEC Corporation of America. "The NEC-RackWare solution, which runs on the NEC Nblock infrastructure, delivers the simplified and cost-effective approach our clients require."
