High Praise for CloudArray’s disaster recovery features
TwinStrata’s CloudArray received high marks for its enhanced data protection features. Specifically, TwinStrata added Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), a cost-effective cloud-based alternative that delivers on-demand disaster recovery for virtualized environments without requiring continuous investment in secondary sites. One judge called CloudArray’s disaster recovery solutions a “clever use of a virtual cloud-integrated storage [or cloud gateway] to provide DRaaS. It enables bringing up both the storage and VMs in an infrastructure as a service [IaaS] or platform as a service [PaaS] model from the vendor’s site almost instantly.”
