Terremark's Virtualized Disaster Recovery service is a fully managed 
replication and disaster recovery service, where Terremark provides 
the networking, compute and storage resources at the DR site on a 
capacity on demand basis.  VDR enables customers to replicate data and operating systems from their production environment into a securely managed Cloud Computing environment located within a Terremark facility, where they can failover to a production-ready environment in the event of a catastrophic outage at their primary facility.  Customers pay for CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity in an on-demand enabled infrastructure that is owned by 
Terremark.  This on-demand capability minimizes the cost to the customer by eliminating the need to purchase and maintain expensive, dedicated technical infrastructure.

Whether your needs require array-based or host-based replication, our experts deliver proven solutions that deliver reliable, repeatable, and predictable recovery with resources guaranteed to be available when you need them and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)/Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) from seconds to hours, depending on your requirements. Replicating into a managed cloud-based computing environment requires much lower capital expense and ongoing management complexity compared to building and managing your own DR infrastructure.

Minimize Cost and Maximize Resources

Replicating into a managed cloud-based computing environment requires much lower capital expense and ongoing management complexity compared to building and managing your own DR infrastructure. Our experts deliver proven solutions that deliver reliable, repeatable, and predictable recovery with resources guaranteed to be available when you need them and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)/Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) from seconds to hours, depending on customer requirements.

Array-Based Replication

Array-based replication is best suited for environments with large numbers of physical and/or virtual servers. Many of Terremark’s largest Fortune 1000 customers rely on arraybased
replication into Terremark’s proven DR framework to provide full datacenter protection. Terremark will provide an equivalent disk array with compatible replication protocol in our facility to replicate data into, and we will provide a server resource pool that the customer can failover into in case of a DR scenario.

The advantages are that the customer does not have to purchase an identical disk array, server, network and facilities resources for a secondary site, and we wrap our implementation best practices and management tools around the replication and failover process, leveraging
the collective knowledge and experience of hundreds of customer environments. As an additional option, we also support VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM). VMware Site Recovery Manager automates the replication and failover processes between VMware sites. SRM only supports array-based replication today.

Host-Based Replication

For environments that have a smaller number of servers and either can’t or don’t want to use SRM but need reliable and cost effective recovery, Terremark’s Host-Based Replication
Service is an ideal solution. This service is available for both virtual and physical servers and enables recovery of individual servers and applications on our utility computing platform.
The customer will still benefit from the cost savings of a cloud model, and they offload the task of designing, implementing and operating the DR site resources and the replication/
failover process. The additional advantage of Terremark’s host-based replication approach is that our service replicates the entire virtual machine, not just the data.

Enabled By The Cloud

Terremark’s virtualized infrastructure eliminates the complexity and expense of building your own DR infrastructure. Working together with strategic technology partners including VMware, HP, and Cisco, we’ve designed a multi-tenancy infrastructure that offers revolutionary levels of flexibility and scalability.

Instead of investing in costly servers, the cloud allows you to configure and deploy processing, memory and storage capacity on demand. You can purchase capacity and virtual machines for your secondary site, but keep the resources turned down until an event where you need to fail over. The cloud’s architecture ensures your resources are always available and ready to be turned up.
