Deliver disaster recovery services from the cloud

Citrix OpenCloud solution for Disaster Recovery (DR) helps to prevent unexpected interruptions to applications and data, which can result in significant business loss. While clustering and RAID technologies can protect application and data access within a datacenter, they do not prevent events (e.g., fire, flood, power failure, or cable cuts) that can make an entire datacenter inaccessible. Businesses need disaster recovery solutions that enable business continuity at all locations. The Citrix OpenCloud solution for Disaster Recovery leverages virtualization, storage, data protection, and replication, and orchestration services to support cloud-based delivery of DR services. It provides a compelling alternative to dedicated hot-site standby facilities and their associated cost and complexity.

  • Migrating application workloads from a premise datacenter running a virtualization platform that differs from the target public or private cloud
  • Securing communications and authentication information between the premise datacenter and either a public or private cloud using Citrix CloudBridge and Citrix CloudAccess
