Money to Burn?

Simplify IT • 16 December 2020

Your Disaster Recovery Plan is costing you too much. We can guarantee we will save you money!

Do you have 2 Data centres? Do you have a disaster recovery solution that means replicating all your data infrastructure from one data centre to another?

You’re paying for the same rack space, CPUs, compute, virtual machines, storage, windows data centre and SQL licenses twice, right? And if it’s on premise, what about the rent or bills for all that electricity?

Do you have money to burn? No, of course you don't, and right now you really don't need to be paying extra for anything.

So here's the thing. We're going to give you a better DR service than you currently have, and we're going to save you a load of money too, and if you don't believe us, we'll pay your favourite charity £50 immediately.

Fully Automatic

Is your DR fully automated, allowing a 1 button press to failover an application or an entire Data Centre? Can you test it at will?

Simplify IT have partnered with VMware to provide a full automated DR service at a reduced cost. Pay for a core service and replicate all the application data into AWS and if required, invoke DR automation and only pay for compute and licensing when DR is invoked.

This is the best way to use Cloud Services on a consumption model for an event that may never happen. This improves your DR capability and automation yet still lowers your overall costs. In the event of real DR, you can scale up quickly (add additional nodes as required).

Disaster Recovery, not financial disaster

With our Fully Managed Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), you can ensure business continuity more effectively than ever, with very little downtime and with significant savings. Should the worst happen, your failover can happen with a single button press and your DR plan up and running within 1 hour.

Oh yes, and it will definitely cost less than your current plan - That’s a promise.

£50 to your favourite charity if we can't save you big money on DR

No Gimmicks, we WILL save you money on DR

So, how can we claim this? This isn't a gimmick or snake oil peddling, we're not into that. This is about Simplify IT giving our customers the best solutions in the most cost effective way.

The solution is beautifully simple in its concept, yet fiendishly difficult in its execution. But don’t worry, let us deal with the difficult part. The beautifully simple part is that we use Cloud technology as your disaster recovery and take the strain when you need it to. With plans that give you everything you need, including VMware’s incredible SRM and NSX support and licensing, as much compute, storage and licensing as required, you’ll have the DR plan you want and pay significantly less for it.

At last, a smart and cost effective way to use the Cloud

As you know, renting cloud space is very expensive, but it’s also very convenient. Having a virtual cloud-based data centre on call would save so much expense in one way, but quickly swallowed up and exceeded with spiralling cloud services costs. If you commit to using cloud all the time , you can find the costs can quickly get out of control. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have all that convenience of cloud but only pay for cloud services when you need it?

Now, thanks to Simplify IT, VMware and AWS, you can!
