iomart Launches DR Service Based on EMC RecoverPoint for VMs Solution

iomart has added a disaster recovery (DR) service to its managed services portfolio. 

The MSPmentor 501 honoree has launched a DR service based on the EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines (VMs) solution that “provides businesses with a turn-key solution for protecting VM data.”

iomart noted that its DR service enables companies to run workloads on premises and protect their data in the cloud. 

In addition, iomart said its DR service delivers synchronous and asynchronous data protection, along with any point in time recovery.

“It’s critical when planning disaster recovery that data copies are stored remotely, so cloud solutions have a natural advantage — especially for businesses that have only one site,” iomart Chief Technology Officer Bill Strain said in a prepared statement. “We wanted to provide a disaster recovery to the cloud solution that was simple to implement, allowed businesses to protect emerging workloads and was proven in the marketplace.”

iomart ranked fifth on this year’s MSPmentor 501, and the company’s new DR service may help it capitalize on a rapidly expanding market as well. 

Market research firm MarketsandMarkets recently predicted that the disaster recovery-as-a-service market could grow from $1.42 billion this year to $11.92 billion in 2020, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 52.9 percent during that timeframe.
