Figure 3: On-premises with recovery to on-premises.

Overview

A defining strength of JetStream DR's architecture is the deliberate decoupling of data storage from data recovery. Unlike many traditional DR solutions that require the replication target and the recovery compute environment to be co-located—or that tie organizations to a single vendor's integrated stack—JetStream DR is designed to support deployment models where the object store and the recovery site exist as entirely separate, independently operated entities. This architectural flexibility opens up a wide range of service delivery options for managed service providers (MSPs), cloud service providers (CSPs), and enterprise IT teams alike, enabling them to construct DR solutions that are optimally tailored to their geographic, regulatory, commercial, and technical requirements.

Key Benefits of This Use Case

Architectural freedom. Organizations and service providers are not constrained to a single-vendor or single-location DR model. Each component of the DR infrastructure—storage, compute, and management—can be sourced and located independently based on cost, performance, compliance, or commercial considerations.

Cost optimization. By separating storage from compute, organizations can right-size each component independently. Low-cost object storage can be paired with appropriately scaled recovery compute that is only consumed when needed, avoiding the expense of maintaining co-located infrastructure that must serve both purposes simultaneously.

Multi-provider resilience. Distributing the object store and recovery site across different providers or facilities introduces an additional layer of resilience—reducing the risk that a single provider outage could simultaneously affect both data storage and recovery compute.

Regulatory and data sovereignty compliance. Independent placement of the object store and recovery site enables precise control over where data resides and where workloads recover, supporting compliance with a wide range of data residency and regulatory requirements.

Scalable managed service delivery. For MSPs and CSPs, this architecture enables the construction of flexible, multi-tenant DRaaS offerings that can be tailored to individual customer requirements without the need to redesign the underlying infrastructure for each engagement.
