Dr. Rajeev Papneja, COO, ESDS Software started by talking about the costs, infrastructure management and data security challenges that cropped up in the case of in-house DR. Then he proceeded to compare traditional DR to Cloud DR.
eNlight Cloud from ESDS is a cross-platform DR solution. It works with nine platforms. According to Papneja, “There are several compelling reasons for going in for a cross-platform DR service. It provides the highest level of redundancy.”
x86 technology adoption, the global slowdown, vendor resilience, multiple levels of fail-safe and platform independence are all common challenges. One can be free of proprietary system concerns when it comes to cross-platform DR.
“There is a lot of licensing cost in proprietary DR along with the need for expensive support.”
x86 systems can handle any kind of workload and are able to give diverse OS support. They are widely accepted in the Cloud. ESDS offers a pay-per-use model. He concluded, “One cannot overlook the fact that many organizations prefer to switch to an outsourced model these days.”
ESDS has a tier 3 data center facility, it is a SAP-certified hosting partner, has an intelligent auto-scalable platform and manages 7,000 servers.
