Arsys has taken a significant step in simplifying cloud migrations by integrating VMware Cloud Director Availability (VCDA) into its VMware-based Private Cloud service. This incorporation aims to facilitate the transfer of data from on-premises environments to your cloud infrastructure, also enabling the deployment of disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS). With a focus on customers operating with vSphere/vCenter technologies, the new functionality offers the ability to replicate, protect, and migrate applications and virtual machines, minimizing disruptions and ensuring precise control of network traffic.
Arsys's strategy aims to strengthen its cloud solutions offering, especially in secure and disaster-ready environments deployed in international data centers that comply with European regulations and digital sovereignty requirements. These centers guarantee availability, security, privacy, and energy efficiency.
By integrating VCDA, users can now enjoy orchestrated protection and migration of VMware workloads between their on-premises location and Arsys' cloud. Asynchronous replications and the automation of failover/failback are some of the features that promise to reduce downtime and data loss.
Regarding the architecture, Arsys has documented a symmetric model that facilitates communication among the different technological components involved. This configuration not only ensures a continuous flow of replicas, but also serves as an essential guide for adjusting firewall policies prior to site pairing.
Arsys has also automated the installation of the VCDA-CLOUD Appliance in its private cloud. The implementation consists of configuring the necessary appliance and verifying the pairing, after which the administrator can proceed to protect or migrate virtual machines easily.
The use of VCDA in Arsys's Private Cloud is suited to several common scenarios: from periodic non-disruptive switchover tests to planned migrations with minimal downtime, and rapid recovery from cyber incidents. Arsys's offering is based on high-performance clusters and dedicated hardware under a pay-as-you-go model, managing the virtualization layer so that customers do not have to worry about upfront investments in licenses.
The sobriety and regulatory compliance are hallmarks, as data are kept secure in certified European data centers. Arsys, with more than 25 years in the market and part of the IONOS Group, continues to strengthen its global presence while managing a multitude of active services.
For companies, adopting this technology means less complexity in managing a single VMware stack, shorter migration and recovery times, and an environment that complies with European regulations, all under a flexible payment model. This translates into a more efficient and secure management of your resources in the cloud.
