Traditionally, Disaster Recovery can be looked at as spanning the spectrum from being an enormous expense, to being a modestly priced “insurance policy”.  Enormous expense comes when you put in place a fully redundant, completely backed up (in realtime or “near” time) data center.  It is a bit like buying auto insurance where you keep a duplicate car ready at all times in geographically dispersed garage.  In the insurance policy approach, you make tape backups and pay a facility a reservation for space and equipment in the event you need it.  This is much cheaper, but when the disaster comes can you really “reconstitute” a sufficiently working environment?  Additionally, there haven’t been many options for sitting in between these two endpoints.  Enterprises have been forced to make a choice between maximal readiness at a maximal price and a minimal price for minimal readiness.

CohesiveFT’s Cloud Container Solution for Disaster Recovery allows enterprises new price and feature points on the spectrum of available recovery options.  Now you can keep hot recovery assets available at all times, but only activate the use of servers as part of an ongoing validation process, and in the unlikely - but critical - full recovery event.  By allowing you to run Cloud Containers in the public, private or hybrid clouds of your choice you can begin the process of having comprehensive dynamic recovery infrastructure available on demand.
