Key Features:Licensing and management console resides on the SP premiseProtect Node does all execution locallyUses customer’s infrastructure for the recovery resourcesWho is it for?Customers interested in WRaaS (subscription model for their workloads)Security conscious – unwilling\unable to have workloads in an external cloudHave excess capacity within their own datacenterDon’t want to “own” the licenses
  • #31 In this solution, the management console resides on the SP side. Key Features:DR infrastructure resides entirely within the SP datacenterSelf-Service front-end allows customers to manage their own DRWho is it for?Customers interested in WRaaS (subscription model for their workloads)SMBs or customer looking for offsite DRMost common use case for WRaaS based on feedback
