Replication

Ucloud data replication allows you to quickly launch systems in a backup location and minimizes company downtime.

What is Replication?

Replication is a service that ensures the continuity of IT systems by creating current copies of virtual machines or servers in a backup location. Unlike classic backup, replication allows you to quickly launch entire systems in another data center without the time-consuming process of restoring data. This solution is crucial in Disaster Recovery scenarios where minimizing downtime and maintaining the availability of critical applications is important. Replication can be based on virtualization platforms and enterprise tools such as Veeam.

Ucloud replication scenarios

Veeam Backup & Replication – enables the replication of virtual machines and physical servers to our data centers, providing flexible Disaster Recovery scenarios..

VMware – thanks to the functions built into the platform, it is possible to create copies of virtual machines in near real time and run them immediately in a backup cluster.

Microsoft Hyper-V – thanks to the Hyper-V Replica mechanism, it is possible to replicate virtual machines to a backup Ucloud location, and then quickly switch over (failover) and start the environment on the DR cluster side in the event of a failure.

How to use the service?

To use our services, contact us in the most convenient way – by phone, e-mail or using the contact form. We also offer the possibility of free testing of selected services, so you can check their functionality and performance before deciding to implement.

FAQ

What is replication and how does it differ from backup?

Replication involves creating current copies of virtual machines or servers in a backup location, ready for immediate launch. Unlike backup, which is used to restore data, replication ensures quick system switchover and business continuity.

What technologies are used for replication?

Replication is performed using Veeam Backup & Replication and native mechanisms of virtualization platforms such as VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V. This allows for flexible adaptation of the Disaster Recovery scenario to the client’s existing infrastructure.

How quickly can systems be up and running after a failure?

Depending on the selected scenario, it is possible to have replicated systems up and running within minutes. RPO and RTO parameters are set individually, in accordance with business requirements and application criticality.

Can only selected systems be replicated?

Yes. Replication can cover individual virtual machines, groups of systems, or entire environments. Thanks to this, it is possible to cover only key applications, such as ERP, CRM or database systems.

Is it possible to test replication before production deployment?

Yes. We offer the opportunity to test run a replication scenario to verify correct operation, switching times and compliance with the assumptions of the business continuity plan (DR).
