As organizations digitally transform using cloud platforms, loss of access to digital services due to a disaster or ransomware attack can be catastrophic. Therefore, it's critical for organizations to have a backup and disaster recovery plan in place, and to frequently test it to ensure it works. With the increasing number of ransomware attacks, regular recovery testing has become more important than ever.
Appranix is a cloud resilience platform that provides cloud infrastructure backup, recovery-as-code using a cloud time machine to help organizations achieve very aggressive recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) metrics. These features enable organizations to recover their entire cloud environment quickly and efficiently, and to run recovery tests more frequently.
Cloud Infrastructure Backup with a Cloud Time Machine
Appranix's Cloud Infrastructure Backup enables organizations to recover their entire cloud infrastructure, including applications and data, to any point in time. This means that organizations can quickly restore their environment to a known good state in case of a disaster or ransomware attack. The Cloud Infrastructure Backup takes regular snapshots of the entire cloud infrastructure, while the Cloud Time Machine enables organizations to travel back in time to any previous state of their infrastructure.
Automated Recovery-as-Code
Recovery-as-Code enables you to automate your recovery processes by defining them as code. With Recovery-as-Code, you can define your recovery processes as code using a simple and intuitive YAML syntax. Cloud application environments are dynamic, distributed and auto-scaled. Complexity of these environments and the pace of change of cloud infrastructure and services make it very difficult to do it manually. Appranix platform automatically writes RaC at a point-in-time using the Cloud Time Machine data and executes it automatically in case of a disaster so humans do not have to do it. This helps you achieve a much lower RTO than what was possible before.
Automated Recovery Test Policies
Appranix's automated Recovery Test Policies enable organizations to completely automate the recovery tests and automatically deliver the reports to cloud engineering teams and compliance officers. This means that organizations can run recovery tests more frequently and with less effort, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring that their backups and disaster recovery processes are working correctly.
Importance of Regular Recovery Testing
Running regular recovery tests is essential for organizations to ensure that their backups and disaster recovery processes are working correctly. This is particularly important with cloud application environments. With the increasing number of ransomware attacks, regular recovery testing has become more important than ever. By running frequent recovery tests, organizations can identify and address any issues before they become critical, and ensure that they can recover their data and applications in case of a disaster or ransomware attack.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Appranix's Cloud Time Machine, Recovery-as-Code, and Cloud Infrastructure Backup features enable organizations to recover their entire cloud environment quickly and efficiently. The automated Recovery Test Policies also enable organizations to run recovery tests more frequently, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring that their backups and disaster recovery processes are working correctly. With the increasing number of ransomware attacks, regular recovery testing has become more important than ever, and Appranix provides the tools to make it easier and more efficient.
