Disaster Recovery (DR, or sometimes BC/DR) in the cloud can be more economical than legacy on-premises DR. JetStream Software’s Rich Petersen shows how storing recovery data and metadata in object storage and provisioning cloud-based compute nodes dynamically when needed can reduce the cost of DR infrastructure by 50% to 60%, making cloud a game-changer for DR. At the same time, by using VMware IO Filters (VAIO) to capture data immediately (no snapshots!) JetStream DR delivers a near zero Recovery Point Objective (RPO). Employing NetApp ANF to maintain data reduces Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) to near-zero as well.

JetStream Software, led by co-founders Rich Peterson and Serge Shats, discusses the reasons why organizations are increasingly turning to the cloud for their disaster recovery (DR) needs. The cloud offers significant advantages in terms of cost and operational performance for DR strategies. JetStream DR, a cloud-based solution, can protect both on-premises workloads and those already migrated to the cloud. It provides failover capabilities, enables restoration of on-premises environments, and allows for the recovery of earlier points of consistency as required. JetStream’s cloud-native approach includes self-service capabilities, integration with cloud vendors’ marketplaces, and a focus on near-zero Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs). The solution utilizes VMware IO Filters to capture and replicate data in real-time, ensuring minimal data loss. By leveraging economical cloud storage and dynamically provisioning compute nodes, organizations can achieve significant cost savings of around 50% to 60% compared to traditional DR approaches. The ability to maintain high application performance without interrupting operations is another key benefit. Finally, JetStream emphasizes the importance of visibility and control for administrators in a cloud-based DR solution.
