Business disruptions can be devastating, as any business owner who has been through one will tell you. This stat isn\u2019t meant to stoke fear, but the Atlas VPN research team found that 31% of businesses in the U.S. are forced to close<\/a> for a period of time as a consequence of falling victim to ransomware attacks.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s likely some, if not most, of those businesses had backups in place. But, having backups alone won\u2019t necessarily save your business if it takes you days or weeks to restore operations from those backups. And true disaster recovery means more than simply having backups and a plan to restore: It means testing that plan regularly to make sure you can bring your business back online.<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re sharing news of a new disaster recovery service built on Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage that\u2019s aimed to help businesses restore faster and more affordably: Continuity Centers\u2019<\/a> Cloud Instant Business Recovery (Cloud IBR) which instantly recovers Veeam backups from the Backblaze B2 Storage Cloud.<\/p>\n

Helping Businesses Recover After a Disaster<\/h2>\n

We launched the first generation version of this solution\u2014Instant Recovery in Any Cloud<\/a>\u2014in May of 2022 to help businesses complete their disaster recovery playbook. And now, we\u2019re building on that original infrastructure as code (IaC) package, to bring you Cloud IBR.<\/p>\n

Cloud IBR is a second generation solution that further simplifies disaster recovery plans. The easy-to-use interface and affordability make Cloud IBR an ideal disaster recovery solution designed for small and medium size businesses (SMBs) who are typically priced out of enterprise-scale disaster recovery solutions.<\/p>\n

How Does Cloud IBR Work?<\/h2>\n

Continuity Centers combines the automation-driven Veeam REST API calls with phoenixNAP Bare Metal Cloud platform into a unified system, and completely streamlines the user experience.<\/p>\n

The fully-automated service deploys a recovery process through a simple web UI, and, in the background, uses phoenixNAP\u2019s Bare Metal Cloud servers to import Veeam backups stored in Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage<\/a>, and fully restores the customer\u2019s server infrastructure. The solution hides the complexity of dealing with automation scripts and APIs and offers a simple interface to stand up an entire cloud infrastructure when you need it. Best of all, you pay for the service only for the period of time that you need.<\/p>\n

Cloud IBR gives small and mid-market companies the highest level of business continuity available, against disasters of all types. It\u2019s a simple and accessible solution for SMBs to embrace. We developed this solution with affordability and availability in mind, so that businesses of all sizes can benefit from our decades of disaster recovery experience, which is often financially out of reach for the SMB.<\/p>\n

\u2014Gregory Tellone, CEO of Continuity Centers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Right-Sized Disaster Recovery<\/h2>\n

Previously, mid-market businesses were underserved by disaster recovery and business continuity planning because the requirements and efforts to create a disaster recovery (DR) plan are often foregone in favor of more immediate business demands. Additionally, many disaster recovery solutions are designed for larger size companies and do not meet the specific needs for SMBs. Cloud IBR allows businesses of all sizes to instantly stand up their entire server infrastructure in the cloud, at a moment’s notice and with a single click, making it easy to plan for and easy to execute.<\/p>\n
