Construct, drill disaster recovery and recover from disaster with simplicity and efficiency
Many customers usually need to deploy disaster recovery centers to safeguard key business applications such that they could provide services continuously when infrastructures encountered unexpected major disasters. A common way to ensure the effectiveness of a disaster recovery center is to drill it occasionally after it is built. However, drilling a traditional disaster recovery center is troublesome, as preparing the environment and drilling the recovery are both complex and costly processes, which prohibit customers from drilling regularly.

The tool provides user-friendly user-interfaces, preconfigured management platform with best practices, flexible and various data synchronization methods. With those features, users can efficiently replicate data, deploy instances, drill disaster recovery with minimized manual errors in a hybrid deploying environment.
