• Sales Force Automation Application and Database servers are installed/Collocated at ATMA House Ashram Road Ahmedabad Sify Datacenter. And more than 7000 field staff are accessing this application over the internet. Below is the schematic diagram/ Existing Server configuration.
• It is one of the most important applications that should have DR, can not tolerate downtime which leads to heavy financial losses and equally bad effect on the company’s reputation.
• The company wants to set up Application and Database servers for Disaster Recovery (DR) on the cloud. Customers want on-premise to AWS Cloud sync over the Internet (no dedicated line / site-to-site VPN). Customers also want an approximate cost if the DR drill is done once every three months for 8 hours. Customers would like to have a seamless experience when a disaster happens and so need dedicated public IP from the cloud, which can be mapped to DNS as a failover IP.
• To achieve near real-time RPO and 1 hour RTO for App and DB servers.

• Setup CloudEndure Account and Project. This is a one-time step whereby the customer’s CloudEndure account is set up by registering for Disaster Recovery. Once signed in, a new Project needs to be created in CloudEndure “User Console”.
• Define Replication settings and Target Cloud environment Blueprint. Before we start replicating the machines, we need to define replication settings and blueprint under the newly setup project. Here, you define your Source (2 servers) and Target environments, and the default Replication Servers in the Staging Area of the Target infrastructure.
• Network configuration at either side to be configured with source public IP and cloud allocated EIP (Elastic IP) so that even over the Internet traffic is allowed only by whitelisted IPs. CloudEndure shall by default encrypt all traffic between on-premise and AWS cloud.
• Add machines by installing the CloudEndure Agent on each source machine. Agents can be installed on both Linux and Windows machines. Detailed instructions can be referred to here. CloudEndure does not require a separate physical/virtual machine for setting up sync between on-premises and cloud
  server.
• Once agents are installed and set up under CloudEndure “UserConsole”, these machines shall start replicating the initial full data transfer. It shall take hours to days to complete initial replication depending upon internet bandwidth between on-premise and AWS Cloud. Once the initial sync is completed, CloudEndure only syncs incremental changed block data storage. CloudEndure also compresses data and optimizes outgoing internet bandwidth and cost.

• The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of CloudEndure is typically in the sub-second range. Near real-time RPO is achieved and tested by customer successfully.
• The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of CloudEndure is typically measured in minutes. The RTO is highly dependent on the OS boot time. As per the client requirement, it was achieved and converted to automation for speedy recovery at the time of DR.
• CloudEndure is very secure for data in transit and data at rest, in both cases it is encrypted. CloudEndure stores only configuration and log data on the CloudEndure Service Manager’s encrypted database. Replicated data is always stored on the customer’s own cloud VPC. The replicated data is encrypted in transit.
• CloudEndure supports one of the most important features and it is the customer needs. The feature is called Point-in-Time Recovery snapshots. Point-In-Time Recovery snapshots were configured from the following schedule:
• every 10 minutes in the past hour
  every 1 hour in the past 24 hours
  every 1 day in the past 30 days
• With cloudEndure customers saved lots of time to set up, maintain and monitor DR.
  Cost reduction due to no actual machines being running it will only run at the time of DR drill.
  No cost and time for training and as such a solution is delivered, maintained, and troubleshot by a partner backed by AWS Premium support.
• Very simple, transparent and effective solution with the best of TCO.

With the successful achievement of DR, the customer is not just looking for DR for other important applications, but planning other production workloads to be moved to the cloud in near future.
