iland Secure Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) with Zerto
Continuous availability to keep your applications running 24x7.

Accelerated Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
Traditionally, disaster recovery means recovering data before accessing systems.
With iland Secure DRaaS with Zerto, a journal keeps a historical record of changes made to VMs over the past 30 days. This capability gives users the ability to “rewind” time to before disaster strikes – including data loss, ransomware, and human error. During failover, every end user request is analyzed to determine if the response should be returned directly from the virtual machine or from the journal, whichever is more current. This process continues until the failover is complete.
Ultimately, customers benefit from sub 10 second RPOs and aggressive RTO for speedy recovery (orchestrated recovery). In addition, failover network and integration capabilities allow end users to seamlessly access data during and after a failover event.

Disaster Recovery designed for your unique business.
Every business is different. iland Secure DRaaS with Zerto combines industry-leading technology with individual design to meet your specific application and business recovery requirements. iland Secure DRaaS with Zerto features:
Recovery Assurance
Create DR runbooks within the iland Secure Cloud Console to configure the orchestration of recovery groups and simplify the development, management and execution of your DR plan:
- Automate the entire failover and failback process. Use the iland Secure Cloud Console to build DR plans for any scenario to enable and orchestrate application specific recovery.
- Create multiple DR plans. Leverage iland’s failover wizard to automate the failover and failback process. Automation reduces the errors of manual failback including data loss and data integrity. Alerts and reporting about the failover are available in the iland Secure Cloud Console.
- Test anytime. The iland Secure Cloud Console enables you to test your disaster recovery yourself to ensure your plan works. Failover and back without service disruption – and without fitting an arbitrary schedule. Run a full suite of DR testing by selecting a runbook and then invoking the automated test failover. Verify the success of your runbook before there is a disaster.

Virtual Protection Groups
Protect virtual machines (VMs) by group and/or tier to ensure consistent recovery points (RPOs) across all grouped machines.
- Define your own RPOs for your VMs. You can define the RPO for individual VMs, or for group VMs, to achieve RPOs of seconds with little impact on performance or resource usage of the primary system.
- Perform partial failovers. You can group VMs supporting multi-tier applications. Partial failovers can help you reduce costs and simplify failback.
- Perform granular restores. A checkpoint journal at the recovery site can store RPO points from between 1 – 720 hours, enabling you to restore to points prior to the disaster.
- VSS awareness. For certain applications such as SQL and Exchange.

Performance, efficiency, and individual design.
iland Secure DRaaS utilizes efficient technologies to ensure failover and failback meet your business and application-specific requirements.
- Fastest replication. Integrated network compression enables both closer Recovery Points and reduced WAN bandwidth requirements.
- Existing network compatibility. iland Secure DRaaS can be configured with recovery networks that match your internal private network range(s), yielding a more aggressive RTO with no reconfiguration of VMs.
- DNS failover. Disaster recovery management is simplified with the integration of DNS management into the cloud console. DNS management can be performed from the same location in which you manage cloud resources and disaster recovery. Easily manage your public IP blocks, DNS zones, records, and make updates to all your DNS records in the event of a failover through an easy-to-use search and edit tool within the console.
- Storage options. iland supports replication of VMware virtual machines and is storage-agnostic with two tiers of encrypted storage to ensure all key workloads are protected.
- SSAE 16/ISO 27001 certified Tier III data centers around the globe. In addition to global data centers, iland also maintains connections to more than 500 IP providers to ensure your data is secure, fixed within your chosen country, and fails over rapidly.

Adopt the cloud without disrupting your existing network investment.
One of the challenges of moving to the cloud, or adopting a multi-cloud strategy, is the need for end user access during a failover event.
The ability to communicate with other networks or applications can be critical for success. To ensure consistent communication between workloads, iland offers unparalled network flexibility to maintain and preserve your existing network policies and investments to ensure your workloads can communicate. This also allows you to proceed with your existing corporate network strategy without disruption.
iland’s network flexibility gives you control of your existing and future application environments via:
- Familiar and integrated VMware-based network services for security segmentation and access via IPsec/SSL VPN managed through the iland Secure Cloud Console.
- “Bring your own” options including physical/virtual network appliances, flexible carrier and circuit options (MPLS/VPLS, direct circuit) for global connectivity.
- VMware NSX, Megaport/SD-WAN and our high throughput circuits for performance and integration purposes.

FAQ:
What is the difference between Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) and Backup as a Service (BaaS)?
BaaS and DRaaS work together as part of an overall data protection and recovery strategy for IT. With BaaS, customers copy production data at regular, planned intervals to the cloud for long-term retention. If the data is lost, stolen, or accidentally deleted, the copied data from the BaaS environment is copied back to the production environment.
DRaaS solutions are distinct from BaaS and offer an important advantage. With DRaaS, all critical components are replicated to the cloud for short-term retention. This includes the application(s), data, and networking. In the event the production data AND physical infrastructure is compromised (i.e. through flooding, fire, cybercrime, etc), the DRaaS environment provides a complete secondary environment to run production applications. Together, BaaS and DRaaS provide complete protection against nearly all data and hardware loss scenarios.
How is pricing for iland Secure DRaaS with Zerto determined?
Pricing is all-inclusive including your Zerto license, the cost of reserved storage (2 tiers), compute resources (CPU/RAM), unlimited bandwidth, and protection for an unlimited number of VMs. Burst resources feature pay-as-you-go pricing, with no commitments and no term contracts for RAM and CPU usage during testing and failover. Specific pricing depends on your environment and the resources consumed including the amount of storage needed, CPU/RAM for live VMs, and RTO and RPO requirements. Our team of in-house experts can quickly determine your resource need using our free tool, iland Catalyst..
