Disaster Recovery for less than the price opf a cup of coffee - You can sleep easy knowing that your servers are protected
PlateSpin Forge from Novell makes it easier, faster and more economical than ever before to protect your server workloads.
What is Forge?
PlateSpin Forge® is a disaster recovery hardware appliance that provides a smarter, faster and more affordable way to replicate and protect server workloads in the data centre. In the event of production downtime, workloads may be rapidly powered on in the PlateSpin Forge recovery environment and continue to run as normal until the production environment is restored. PlateSpin Forge ships with everything you need to begin protecting your servers straight out-of-the-box.
So from as little as £1.99 a day, data centres can cost-effectively protect and rapidly recover whole server workloads—operating systems, applications, and data—with no need for costly duplicate hardware and software.
The Forge Solution
PlateSpin Forge allows you to replicate up to 25 live workloads into a hardware appliance from a single point of control. Changes in workloads can be captured incrementally on an hourly, weekly or monthly basis, enabling customers to restore workloads from the most recent replication, or from a particular point in time. In the event of downtime, operations can be quickly transferred to PlateSpin Forge. After operations are transferred, workloads can run on PlateSpin Forge until the primary workload is restored.
