What is Server-to-Cloud Recovery?

Server-to-cloud recovery is the process of replicating physical or virtual server workloads to a cloud environment for backup and recovery. It removes the need for a secondary physical data center by using cloud infrastructure as the recovery target. When a server goes down, workloads run directly in the cloud until the primary environment is back online.

Capabilities

  • Physical-to-Cloud Replication – On-premises server workloads continuously replicate to cloud infrastructure, keeping the recovery copy current.
  • Rapid Cloud Failover – Workloads spin up in the cloud within minutes of a server failure, minimizing disruption.
  • Hardware Independence – Recovery runs without physical hardware, eliminating delays from equipment procurement or repair.
  • Workload Portability – Servers of varying configurations migrate to cloud-native formats without compatibility issues.
  • Cost-Efficient Standby – Cloud recovery environments sit idle until needed, eliminating the cost of maintaining secondary hardware.
  • Failback Orchestration – Once the primary site is restored, workloads transfer back from the cloud to on-premises in a controlled sequence.
