Assured Data Protection: Modernizing Disaster Recovery as a Service with Nutanix
As cyber threats and system outages become more frequent and impactful, enterprise organizations require rapid, guaranteed recovery. Assured Data Protection, a global managed service provider specializing in cyber resiliency, disaster recovery, and business continuity, previously struggled to reach strict customer-required Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) using legacy data protection platforms.
To overcome these constraints, Assured Data Protection integrated the Nutanix Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) suite into its global service delivery model. By leveraging Nutanix solutions—including Multicloud Snapshot Technology (MST), instant restore capabilities, and Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) platform backed by AWS object storage—Assured provides flexible, high-performance DRaaS at a lower cost structure.
Key Results
Aggressive RTO & RPO Delivery
Replaced legacy systems with Nutanix BCDR to achieve aggressive, industry-best recovery time and recovery point objectives.
Cost-Effective Cloud Recovery
Utilized Multicloud Snapshot Technology (MST) with AWS object storage to deliver scalable cloud DR at a cost-effective price point.
Minutes of Downtime During Major Upgrades
Nutanix DR enabled a client to run on Assured infrastructure for nearly two months during core network maintenance with only a few minutes of reported total downtime.
Multicloud Snapshot Technology was a game changer for us because it allowed us to provide a cloud recovery capability at a completely different price point than it would've been for us to operate dedicated clusters in our datacenters. It gave us a strategic option to address different sections of the market.
Frequently Asked Questions
Assured Data Protection previously used legacy DR tools that failed to achieve the strict Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) demanded by enterprise customers. Switching to Nutanix enabled Assured to deliver aggressive RTO/RPO performance, simplified operational delivery, and flexible replication options ranging from synchronous to Multicloud Snapshot Technology.
Multicloud Snapshot Technology allows customer data to replicate directly from client sites into object storage like AWS, bypassing the need for dedicated physical hardware in primary data centers. During an outage or failover event, Assured spins up a NC2 cluster on demand to restore data directly in the cloud, delivering enterprise cloud recovery at a far more accessible price point.
A self-managed DR deployment requires an organization to handle complex infrastructure maintenance, software patching, licensing, and manual failover execution. Assured Data Protection provides a fully managed Nutanix DRaaS model where Assured assumes full responsibility for hardware, maintenance, and proactive testing—running two complete DR tests per year for every customer to guarantee operational readiness.
