Cloud Backup/Disaster Recovery
Winner:
Scale Computing HC3 Cloud Unity DRaaS
Cloud Unity combines Scale Computing’s HC3 on-premises appliance-based hyper-converged infrastructure with the Google Cloud Platform, allowing businesses to use resources in the cloud and on-premises simultaneously, as well as enabling on-premises applications to run in the cloud via virtual machine instances of HC3. The offering allows for seamless disaster recovery because the IP address of the workload looks the same in Google, eliminating the need for a VPN. Importantly, Scale Computing’s HC3 features built-in software-defined networking to simplify the disaster recovery setup. Cloud Unity ultimately provides partners with an easy way to implement cloud-based disaster recovery solutions with predictable costs.
