Our Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) powered by CloudSigma can be set up almost instantly, with only a few clicks via our online platform. With this,\u00a0companies can replicate crucial data to our cloud and\u00a0switch them into production immediately\u00a0should an untoward incident compromise their systems,\u201d said\u00a0Ni\u00f1o R. Valmonte, Director for Marketing and Digital Innovation at IPC.<\/p>\n<p>The service, which can be accessed by IPC\u2019s clients through\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.ipc.ph\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">cloud.ipc.ph<\/a>, allows users to replicate data and systems from other infrastructures or locations, and have these periodically synced to the cloud automatically. This seamless DRaaS system powered by CloudSigma provides an ideal business continuity and disaster recovery (BC\/DR) solution, enabling the IT department to easily switch production systems to a secure and stable cloud infrastructure during a disaster.<\/p>\n<p>Using the cloud as part of a disaster recovery plan versus traditional physical infrastructure allows companies to avoid the capital expenditure needed to maintain hardware, instead relying on on-demand compute resources that can be easily accessed through the Internet. This reduces the cost of comprehensive disaster recovery solutions to a fraction of the former cost and allows more capital to be covered by such a solution including laptops, desktops, and other assets that are considered uneconomic to include in a disaster recovery plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis Disaster Recovery solution can sync data not only from onsite premises and data centers but also between all existing and future CloudSigma locations. This is particularly relevant to enterprise customers who are running many deployments in different locations and want to utilize the full potential of cloud infrastructure,\u201d said\u00a0Robert Jenkins, CEO &amp; Co-founder at CloudSigma.<\/p>\n<p>A Swiss-based company, CloudSigma entered the Asian market through its partnership with IPC back in 2016 by integrating its services within IPC\u2019s data center network. Clients who subscribe to IPC benefit from low latency, dedicated connectivity provided by CloudSigma, which is ideal for servicing critical IT workloads.<\/p>\n<p>By combining the advantages provided by the cloud platform with strong networking and disaster recovery capabilities, customers can easily combine cloud-delivered storage and compute environments in conjunction with their existing infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other cloud providers, IPC and CloudSigma craft custom end-to-end solutions for customers that directly service their needs and at a uniquely competitive price through a single billing relationship for hosting, cloud, and networking connectivity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe urge Philippine enterprises to be proactive in their BC\/DR efforts. Through cloud-based Disaster Recovery, we eliminate high cost and complexity from the picture. This is high time for everyone to review their current systems and ensure that a secure and reliable backup and recovery plan is in place,\u201d said Valmonte.<\/p>\n<p>The new service is priced per GB basis, providing complete cost transparency and predictability. Compared to traditional solutions that require complex set-ups and custom implementations, IPC and CloudSigma are able to bring to market a comprehensive disaster recovery solution at a disruptively low price by using technology to automate the process and encourage self-configuration via the main<a href=\"https:\/\/mnl.cloudsigma.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\u00a0webapp<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To know more about IPC and its services, visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipc.ph\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">www.ipc.ph<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Local cloud services pioneer\u00a0IPC, together with its Infrastructure-as-a-Service partner\u00a0CloudSigma, recently launched its latest service offering that will allow companies to set up Disaster Recovery with just a few clicks and minimal\u00a0configuration time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":29408,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[6239,763,96],"class_list":["post-32781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines","tag-cloudsigma","tag-ipc","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32781"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32781\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29408"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
