BIPs

Key Features and Benefits

- Real time replication
Enabling a recovery point objective of near-zero data loss

- 15 minute Recovery (Bare metal (OS/Apps/Data)
Making the decision to invoke the service easy, even for smaller, short-term interruptions

- 100% consistency in data replication across Volume and Server boundaries
Essential to ensure effective system and database recovery across interdependent systems

- Software Licensing
Replication is performed to RAW target volumes negating duplicate Operating System and Application licensing.

- Near-continuous data protection via snapshots
Reducing the impact of viruses and data corruption

- Hardware agnostic, “Any 2 Any” fail-over and fail-back procedures
Hardware in the recovery system does not have to match the hardware on the protected server in any way, giving businesses the flexibility to choose the hardware they want use and avoiding “vendor lock-in”

- Physical and virtual system protection
Uses the same strategy for both today and future environments

- Remote disaster recovery testing
Key IT staff don’t need to spend time travelling to remote locations; Disaster Recovery tests can be performed from their own desktops

- Development and testing environment
Allowing IT staff to test updates before rolling them out to the live environment, largely eliminating the risk of a business interruption in these situations

- Any location
Clients can choose the target location for their BIPs solution, Any site any Data centre

- Fully Managed Service
The system is fully configured, managed and monitored by Capital’s engineers, eliminating the technical challenges and time taken to recover systems, which frees up time for staff to focus on the core business or other aspects of the business continuity plan.

BIPsPOD

BIPsPOD delivers a multi-tenancy solution for managed service providers and organisations that require a scalable BIPs model for their clients and existing infrastructure.

Capital Continuity’s flexible approach to the implementation of BIPsPOD allows service providers to decide the most appropriate implementation of the service for their infrastructure and their customers. Capital Continuity will provide options from provision of a full service, software and hardware stack; through to a “service wrap” offering utilisation of hardware and infrastructure that is already planned or in place.

The  flexibility of BIPsPOD  makes  it viable for service providers  to offer BIPs protection for single servers right the way through to the complete cloud environment.

BIPs Migration (Any App, Any Storage, Any Site)

Many organisations are looking to reduce their total IT operating costs by consolidating systems, data centres, utilising cloud services and adopting virtual technologies. All of these different strategies can offer significant cost reductions; and all of these strategies risk delay and even failure because of the challenges faced when migrating systems or data.

 If your organisation is looking to migrate systems from one location to another, to change storage platform or virtualises the hardware on which your systems are running, the migration power of BIPs is just what you need. The unique way in which BIPs works means that complete systems can be migrated and tested while production stays available without the need to constantly repeat the migration process and delay the project.

The reduction in time and difficulty of migrating systems by using BIPs to perform local or international migrations means it is fast becoming a standard way for companies large or small to perform these complex procedures and transform their current environments.
