Cloud-Internal DR
Overview
As cloud service providers (CSPs) continue to expand their infrastructure footprints across multiple data centers and geographic regions, the ability to deliver robust, internally managed disaster recovery capabilities for their hosted customers has become a critical differentiator. JetStream DR's Cloud-Internal DR configuration enables CSPs to build and operate a fully self-contained DR service entirely within their own cloud infrastructure—protecting customer workloads hosted in one data center by continuously replicating their data to object storage in a separate facility, and recovering those workloads rapidly in the event of a disruption. This model gives cloud providers the tools to offer enterprise-grade DR guarantees to their customers without dependence on third-party recovery platforms or external storage services.
Key Benefits of This Use Case
Full self-containment. The entire DR lifecycle—replication, failover, recovery, and failback—is managed within the cloud provider's own infrastructure, eliminating external dependencies and simplifying operations.
Bi-directional resilience. Mutual protection between data centers ensures that both facilities and their hosted workloads are continuously protected, with no single point of failure in the protection architecture.
Near-zero RPO and fast RTO. Continuous IO-level replication ensures that the most current copy of customer data is always available in the secondary object store, enabling rapid, low-data-loss recovery when needed.
Maximized infrastructure efficiency. Active-active data center utilization avoids the waste of dedicated standby capacity, improving the economics of the DR service for both the provider and its customers.
Competitive service differentiation. Embedded, provider-managed DR capabilities with defined resilience guarantees strengthen the CSP's market position and increase customer stickiness by delivering a higher-value hosting proposition.
