Introduction to Cove Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)

Cove Data Protection (Cove) DRaaS is a service that provides our customers the ability to run a complete or a part of their physical infrastructure in the N-able cloud and use it in a way similar to their production environment up to 30 days during a year in the failover mode, if any disaster strikes.

DRaaS runs in ESXi and is hosted in our own data centers.

Failover refers to the process when the customer transfers their production workload from their on-prem network to N-able cloud network.

DRaaS Use Cases

Below are the two main use cases for the user in which DRaaS is helpful:

• Complete Failover: The customer's whole on-prem infrastructure has been compromised and needs to be replaced. By using the DRaaS feature, they have the possibility of recreating it on the N-able servers
• Partial Failover: The customer's on-prem infrastructure has been partially compromised and therefore the customers need to restore only a few servers in our N-able infrastructure. In order to recreate the original fully functioning infrastructure, they need to connect the remaining on-prem infra to ourN-able cloud

In order to start failover in case of any disaster, the device must first be added to the plan.
