Geetoo Disaster Recovery

General

What is Geetoo Disaster Recovery?

eetoo Disaster Recovery ensures maximum availability of your data. When your primary site fails, traffic is redirected and your services and applications run from the disaster recovery site – Geetoo Cloud. 

Who is Geetoo Disaster Recovery for?

It is suitable for customers who require high availability of data and applications and cannot afford outages of minutes or hours. Disaster Recovery is suitable for companies with continuous operations, banks and other companies that care about maximum availability.

How does Geetoo Disaster Recovery work? 

The customer operates its own on-premise infrastructure in its own data centre. Using special protocols, it connects to the Geetoo cloud and starts replicating its data and creating a duplicate infrastructure in the Geetoo cloud. If there is an outage of the primary site, the traffic is redirected to the Geetoo Cloud and the customer is not affected by the outage of the primary site. 

What is the most common use case for using Geetoo Disaster Recovery? 

The most common use of disaster recovery is as a secondary backup data center in the cloud. In the event of a failure of the primary site, services and applications are provided from this backup data center from the cloud.
