Better Protection, Quick Recovery
and IT Systems Resiliency

CenturyLink SafeHaven DRaaS dramatically simplifies disaster recovery by utilizing the cloud to help protect your business from disruptions – all while delivering a lower total cost of ownership.

You can protect production virtual servers hosted in your internal data centres with replica instances running within CenturyLink Cloud. The costs of running a secondary site in the public cloud means you only pay for what you need. Your organization benefits from the dramatically lower cost structure.

More importantly, the replica servers in the CenturyLink Cloud are only activated in the case of a disruptive event, further reducing operating costs. Plus, there is no need to provision duplicate OS and application licences - the production licences are activated in the cloud upon failover.

Benefits

Flexible OpEx model reduces cost
Only pay for CPU and RAM during a disaster event
SRN and CMS appliances operate 730 hrs/month and associated CPU/RAM charges apply
Pay-as-you-go structure requires little capital investment
Ultra-low recovery times

Pricing

Non-recurring charge for onboarding and monthly recurring charges for the CenturyLink SafeHaven DRaaS software, cloud infrastructure, the VMs required to run software components and specific replication VM configurations

CenturyLink SafeHaven DRaaS

This offering utilizes a cloud WAN to link proxy recovery servers and remote replicas in the cloud to a replication node found at the production site. These work in concert with firewalls, local disk, rollback images and protected VMs to keep your data secure and available in the event of a disaster.
