DRaaS for Complex Data Centers
The larger and more complex the data center, the more difficult it is to implement and maintain an effective Disaster Recovery solution. The longer an organization has been in business, the more dependable and reliable its image becomes. At the same time, its IT infrastructure has likely become more complex over years of upgrades, consolidations, legacy apps, etc. Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) becomes an attractive solution at this point.
DRaaS Powered by Recovery Point Systems
Volta has been a trusted Recovery Point partner for more than 11 years. Together, we provide disaster recovery and data resiliency services to large commercial groups and government agencies.

Key Capabilities
Supports Complex Data Centers
Unlike other DRaaS providers, we are not limited to virtual x86 environments. Recovery Point and Volta are well placed to support mixed setups, including:
- VMware vSphere
- Microsoft Hyper-V
- Open Virtual Format (OVF) VMs
- IBM AIX (LPARs)
- IBM iSeries LPARs
- Mainframe z/VMs
- Linux on z
- z/OS LPARs
100% Uptime
Recovery Point’s highly scalable, low-latency network has had 100% uptime since inception.
It also provides direct cross-connect access for customers to many network carriers for links and traffic exchange. In addition to enabling higher-capacity connections, this approach can reduce the negative replication throughput impact of end-to-end network latency.
Continuous Reporting
Dashboards and reporting tools give a live view into your data resiliency program. Check your disaster readiness any time with real-time reporting at the server level. This level of visibility is far more frequent than the twice-yearly reports typical of traditional DR vendors.
Proof-of-Concept Testing Program
With so many vendors offering DRaaS solutions, it is in an organization’s best interest to test a DR solution before buying it. We work within Recovery Point’s testing model to provide proof-of-concept testing programs that let you see whether this solution is the right fit for your business.
This proof-of-concept test is a practical disaster recovery tool before purchase. It costs nothing, reduces your risk, and helps your team learn the platform and the staff before purchase.
