Overview

ProtectIO is PrimaryIO’s on-demand disaster recovery as a service ("DRaaS") platform. ProtectIO is delivered as a web-accessible, multitenant, IBM Cloud-native Software-as-a-Service. It helps customers by providing a robust disaster recovery solution and it uses the most recent cloud economics for an attractive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is delivered by using the PrimaryIO’s proprietary VAIO Replication filter and Authenticated Block Stream Protocol that sends the changed I/O blocks to a DR Receiver process in the target DR environment and commits to IBM Cloud Object Storage.
At failover time, ProtectIO rehydrates from the Cloud Object Storage buckets into the respective VMDKs and instantiates the VMs that compose the application workload that is being protected. This approach delivers near zero RPO and an RTO correlated with the amount of data that needs to be rehydrated, which provides a compelling TCO solution.
ProtectIO supports on-premises, IBM Cloud Classic and IBM Cloud VPC as the primary site. It uses IBM Cloud Classic or VPC for the target DR site, depending upon the customer and available VPC capacity. The UI and the associated control plane, which run in an IBM Cloud VPC, are intuitive and allow you to operate without assistance from a managed service provider.
