Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) March 27, 2012
Hexagrid, a leading developer of Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS) cloud computing solutions, announced today that Cobalt Solutions, a Las Vegas-based IT solutions provider, has utilized Hexagrids cloud computing platform to launch the first ever cloud-based Disaster Recovery (DR) solution that offers true business continuity. Hexagrid and Cobalt developed this solution to augment Cobalts already extensive DR portfolio of solutions which combine to offer businesses the most comprehensive opportunity to proceed with business as usual when disaster strikes.
Cobalt proposed an exciting opportunity for Hexagrid to engineer another unique DR application of our Infrastructure as a Service cloud computing platform, said Suresh Mandava, chief executive officer of Hexagrid Computing. Because of the uniquely extensive and complex network capabilities built into our platform, the Cobalt Solutions team can now assist their clients in establishing a cloud architecture that exactly replicates an existing production environment. Then, incremental back-ups of physical and virtual resources within the production environment populate a fully secure, fully operational cloud-based replica environment in one of Cobalts new data centers. Unlike the hosted data backup services being sold as cloud-based DR today, Cobalt is offering the only true opportunity for business continuity in the event of a disaster.
Cobalt Solutions offers a combination of products, resources, and services that address all critical components of any business continuity plan. Immediately after a disaster, the cloud-based DR solution provides a fully operational mirror of a customers production environment accessible through a secure web portal for anytime, anywhere management. Then customers can relocate their people and critical operations to Cobalts reliable and secure contingency worksite which offers a 500-seat call-center complete with computers and connectivity on a private technology campus in Southern Nevada. Cobalt Solutions’ DR professional services teams can then help the business customer re-establish the local production datacenter site. The combination of these products, resources, and services aim to minimize downtime and optimize productivity in a disaster recovery scenario.
“In times of disruption or disaster Cobalt provides Disaster Recovery Solutions that fit the needs of any business DR strategy, said Paul Reynosa, president of DR solutions at Cobalt. “From assessing business-critical needs to providing data center, cloud DR site replacement, fully-equipped alternate workspace, equipment, voice and data connectivity, and technical support, Cobalt provides start-to-finish, customizable recovery solutions.”
