What is Flexential DRaaS
Flexential DRaaS is a managed disaster recovery as a service offering that replicates customer workloads to Flexential data centers to support failover and recovery during outages. It targets IT teams that need business continuity for on-premises and hosted environments and prefer an outsourced operations model. The service typically combines replication, runbook-based recovery procedures, and testing support, delivered alongside Flexential colocation, cloud, and network services.
Managed DR operations model
The service is delivered as a managed offering, which can reduce the operational burden on internal teams for configuring, monitoring, and executing recovery procedures. This is useful for organizations that lack dedicated DR specialists or need 24x7 coverage. It also supports structured DR testing and documentation processes that are often required for audits and internal governance.
Data center-based recovery sites
Flexential operates data centers that can serve as recovery locations, which can simplify contracting and connectivity compared with assembling multiple vendors. Customers using colocation or private connectivity can align DR with existing network and facility footprints. This model can be a fit for workloads that require dedicated infrastructure or specific data residency and facility controls.
Integration with Flexential services
DRaaS can be packaged with related infrastructure services such as colocation, cloud, and network connectivity, enabling a single provider for multiple layers of the stack. This can streamline procurement, support escalation paths, and operational ownership during an incident. It can also reduce integration work when the primary environment already runs in Flexential facilities.
Less self-service than software
A managed DRaaS approach can provide fewer self-service controls than products designed primarily as software platforms. Some changes (for example, runbook updates, test scheduling, or recovery plan modifications) may require provider coordination. This can be a limitation for teams that want rapid, frequent configuration changes without opening service requests.
Provider footprint dependency
Recovery options depend on the provider’s available data center regions and service architecture. Organizations with strict requirements for specific geographies or multi-region designs may need to validate site availability and latency constraints. This can be more limiting than approaches that recover into a broad set of public cloud regions.
Pricing and scope variability
DRaaS pricing often varies based on protected capacity, reserved recovery resources, network egress, and managed service scope. This can make like-for-like cost comparisons harder versus standardized, consumption-based backup and recovery tools. Customers may need detailed statements of work to clarify what is included for testing, incident response, and ongoing changes.
