Business Continuity

Have a standby server for each of your production servers? Have too many machines with no High Availability plan whatsoever?

You’re not alone. Recent research studies have found that the cost of downtime in most industries reaches into the tens of thousands of dollars per hour, and businesses that suffer significant disruption in key IT services are likely to fail within months of such an event. Business Continuity is clearly an essential component of any IT strategy.

There is a solution: Scalent lets you dispense with most “standby” servers while still protecting all of your systems, by enabling N-to-1 failover – or by enabling “standby” servers to be repurposed for other non-production systems, even as they remain available for High Availability failover or Disaster Recovery usage.

Companies who have used Scalent software to improve their business continuity implementation have seen up to 56% improvement in total cost of ownership (TCO) through:

Reduced Infrastructure Overhead: Scalent enables real-time repurposing of existing infrastructure. No need for 1-to-1 machine redundancy – instead, enable N-to-1 failover, as any running server can be brought back online on any standby machine, with all LAN and SAN topologies preserved.

Simplified Manageability: Through the use of the WYSIWYG graphical interface and virtual networks instead of physical cable and machine movement, companies have shortened response, reconfiguration, and deployment times. Data Center configuration management is intuitive.

Increased Performance: With the ability to redeploy servers in minutes on to real physical hardware, customers have guaranteed that restored systems maintain performance and meet service level agreements (SLAs) -- without worries about whether the underlying infrastructure is physical or virtual: P2V and V2P transitions are instantaneous.
