What is TierPoint DRaaS
TierPoint DRaaS is a managed disaster recovery service that replicates workloads to TierPoint cloud and data center infrastructure to support failover and recovery after outages. It targets IT teams that need business continuity for virtualized and server-based applications without building a second site. The service typically combines replication, runbooks/testing, and managed operations delivered from TierPoint facilities, and it can be used as part of a broader hybrid infrastructure footprint with colocation and managed hosting.
Managed DR operations option
TierPoint offers DRaaS as a managed service, which can reduce the operational burden of designing, running, and testing recovery procedures. This is useful for organizations that lack dedicated DR engineering resources. The managed model also fits teams that want a single provider responsible for infrastructure and DR execution.
Hybrid deployment alignment
The service is designed to work alongside TierPoint colocation, dedicated hosting, and cloud infrastructure, supporting hybrid recovery patterns. This can simplify network connectivity and operational ownership when production systems already run in TierPoint facilities. It also supports use cases where only a subset of workloads move to cloud-based recovery.
Data center-based recovery footprint
TierPoint operates its own data center and cloud footprint, which can be relevant for customers with data residency, latency, or compliance constraints. Using a provider-operated footprint can reduce dependency on third-party hosting layers. It also enables pairing DR with related services such as managed hosting and connectivity.
Less self-serve than hyperscale
Compared with highly self-service cloud platforms, DRaaS delivered through a managed provider can involve more ticket-driven workflows for changes, testing, and configuration. This may slow iteration for teams that prefer automation-first operations. The fit is better for organizations prioritizing managed accountability over rapid self-service changes.
Feature scope varies by workload
DRaaS capabilities often differ depending on whether workloads are virtual machines, physical servers, or specific hypervisors and operating systems. Customers typically need to validate supported replication methods, RPO/RTO targets, and application-consistent recovery options for each workload. Some advanced orchestration or application-level recovery features may require additional services or design work.
Pricing and contracts can be complex
DRaaS costs commonly depend on protected capacity, retention, network egress, and testing frequency, and may be packaged with infrastructure and managed services. This can make like-for-like cost comparisons difficult across providers. Buyers usually need a detailed quote and clear assumptions for failover events and ongoing replication.
