FAQ
What is the difference between Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) and Backup as a Service (BaaS)?
BaaS and DRaaS work together as part of an overall data protection and recovery strategy for IT. With BaaS, customers copy production data at regular, planned intervals to the cloud for long-term retention. If the data is lost, stolen, or accidentally deleted, the copied data from the BaaS environment is copied back to the production environment.
DRaaS solutions are distinct from BaaS and offer an important advantage. With DRaaS, all critical components are replicated to the cloud for short-term retention. This includes the application(s), data, and networking. In the event the production data AND physical infrastructure is compromised (i.e. through flooding, fire, cybercrime, etc), the DRaaS environment provides a complete secondary environment to run production applications. Together, BaaS and DRaaS provide complete protection against nearly all data and hardware loss scenarios.
I want to take advantage of cloud-based DRaaS, but I am concerned about disrupting the network I already have in place. How will Storcom work with my existing network environment?
We recognize the significance of preserving existing resources and investments during the adoption of new technologies. To facilitate this, we provide various solutions that allow existing networks, including those from other cloud providers, to communicate with your new Storcom service. Moreover, we offer dedicated Network Services for situations where you may require assistance beyond standard configurations. Feel free to contact us to learn more.
How is pricing for Storcom DRaaS with Veeam determined?
The pricing is all-inclusive, covering the Veeam Cloud Connect target license (service provider side), reserved storage costs (2 tiers), compute resources (CPU/RAM), unlimited bandwidth, and protection for an unlimited number of VMs. Burst resources follow a pay-as-you-go model, with no commitments or term contracts for RAM and CPU usage during testing and failover. Specific pricing is contingent on your environment and resource consumption, including storage requirements, CPU/RAM for live VMs, and RTO and RPO specifications. Additionally, customers can opt to purchase the necessary customer-side Veeam license directly from Storcom, available for an extra monthly fee.
What are the different ways I can connect to Storcom's services?
- Storcom Multi-Cloud Connect: Storcom Multi-Cloud Connect utilizes Megaport’s on-demand, software-defined network with on-ramps at over 600 data centers globally. It offers virtual, cross-connect connectivity, allowing you to establish private, high-performance, and highly reliable connections to your data centers and other cloud providers. You can also deploy Storcom Multi-Cloud Connect between your private data center and Storcom for hybrid cloud setups, migration initiatives, or disaster recovery projects. This ensures seamless communication among your workloads, regardless of their locations.
- VPN over Internet: Storcom supports common VPN protocols, including IPsec VPN, OpenVPN, and Wireguard, for securely tunneling network traffic between environments. IPsec, widely used, provides an on-demand, secure connection between cloud providers.
- Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN): SD-WAN helps facilitate communication between remote offices, data centers, and cloud environments. It dynamically establishes secure VPN tunnels, monitors communication performance, and automatically adjusts traffic flows.
- Direct Connection: Preserve your existing private network investment by extending it directly to the Storcom cloud. All Storcom data centers are carrier-neutral facilities, allowing customers to extend MPLS/VPLS or direct connect from offices/data centers for secure and private connectivity. This approach ensures lower latency and guaranteed access to carrier SLAs.
Does Storcom support 3rd party virtual firewalls?
Yes, we support third-party virtual appliance integration such as Fortinet FortiGate, Cisco ASA, and Palo Alto Networks VM-Series.
