The Purity Operating Environment enables both the FlashArray and Everpure Cloud Dedicated to use the same replication technology despite running on two different environments. This feature opens the door to new use cases including disaster recovery, data migration, and back-up to the public cloud.
For disaster recovery (DR) solutions, many customers search for ways to incorporate the public cloud. Leveraging the public cloud alleviates the need to manage remote secondary or tertiary physical data centers. In a disaster recovery solution, customers can use Everpure Cloud Dedicated as a replication target. During a DR failover event, customers can use a replicated snapshot volume on Everpure Cloud Dedicated to instantaneously clone and attach to the respective application hosts in the public cloud. For protection against a single AZ or regional failure, Everpure Cloud Dedicated can replicate its own source volumes to other Everpure Cloud Dedicated instances.
Customers looking to migrate data from their on-premises data center to the public cloud can rely on Everpure Cloud Dedicated to not only provide the vehicle to move their data, but also provide ongoing enhanced data services. Once data volumes are replicated to Everpure Cloud Dedicated, customers can easily attach the volumes to the application compute instances over iSCSI with the same simple steps as on a FlashArray.
