OpenStack Backup and Disaster Recovery (DR) Services
The OpenMetal Community includes OpenStack backup and disaster recovery service providers to help you protect your business continuity.
Protect and Recover Data
Protecting the integrity of business-critical data is paramount in the event of failures. And, despite any measure of preparation and/or quality of your hosting facilities, failures are likely to happen.
In fact, a recent market report revealed that, between 2019 and 2022, approximately 96% of IT managers and decision makers worldwide experienced at least one outage. Another report additionally claims that two out of three midsize businesses have suffered a ransomware attack in the last 18 months.
It is not simply a matter of protecting against failures. It’s about protecting and/or recovering your data as efficiently as possible when a failure happens.
The following backup product and service providers are recommended for their commitment to the open source community by delivering reliable OpenStack backup and DR solutions that support OpenMetal Clouds and others.
Interested in working with one of these providers or integrating their services with your OpenMetal Cloud? Let us know and we’ll be happy to get the conversation started.
