Allstream – Cloud Replication Services

One of the most powerful use cases for Cloud Computing, in the immediate, is ‘Cloud BCP‘ – Enhancing business continuity capability through the Cloud.

And the most important aspect to this isn’t how you might use the Cloud within a traditional DR-centric approach, although you can do so, it’s more about the new, modern ways of planning and achieving continuity that it enables.

An example of this new type of core technology is ‘Cloud Replication Services’, as built into the hosting services from Canadian provider Allstream.

This is nicely visualized in this 12-page PPT white paper, where they explain that by working with Toronto-based Geminare they have created this new hosting capability, that Geminare describes as ‘Recovery as a Service’ – RaaS.

Cloud Replication Services and RaaS are two of the key topics for the webinar.
