Local vendor-neutral cloud infrastructure provider Routed has been listed as one of 10 global providers of VMware’s Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS).
As the only South African company to feature on this list, Routed has further established itself as one of the leading VMware cloud service providers.
With DRaaS, an organisation’s physical servers or virtual machines (VMs) are replicated to a third-party service provider, which then hosts the customer’s infrastructure, using public or private cloud resources, providing a failover target in the event of a disaster.
‘Only one in Africa’
Guy Bartram, director of product marketing: cloud at VMware says: “Routed has proven itself as a specialist cloud provider and dedicated VMware partner.
Dave Funnell, senior manager for cloud providers at VMware says: “The inclusion of Routed as an endpoint for DRaaS within vSphere 7 is a huge boost for the provision of local cloud services.
