This document describes Techgate's Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) offering which uses VMware vSphere Cloud Replication powered by Site Recovery Manager. It allows customers to replicate their virtual machines from their private VMware cloud to Techgate's recovery cloud for off-site disaster recovery. This reduces DR costs by up to 70% while improving recovery time and capabilities. The solution is hosted in Tier 3 UK data centers and provides automated failover and recovery of virtual machines or an entire private cloud within 15 minutes in the event of a disaster.
