Data Engineer at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees

Continuous replication has protected critical servers and supports seamless disaster recovery drills

Some features that I personally feel can be improved are more simplified monitoring and reporting. As I previously mentioned, the console shows the replication status. If it had more detailed dashboards or built-in reports for DR readiness, it would make it easier for the teams to track everything in one place. Another improvement would be cost visibility and optimization guidance in optimizing the cost and also giving us visibility of it. Because the staging resources and replication storage are running continuously, it would be very helpful for organizations and users if AWS provided clearer cost insights, recommendations, and remediations to optimize the DR environment. It would also be useful if AWS added more automation options for application-level recovery, such as easier ways to handle IP changes, domain name system (DNS) updates, or application dependencies during failover. Additionally, we can simplify the setup and configuration process. For someone new to the service, understanding the staging settings, launch templates, and networking configurations can take some time. Setup simplicity and more detailed monitoring and alerting features would be beneficial. If we could add that, we can easily track the replication health, lag, and potential issues. Instead of relying on other additional tools for monitoring and alerting features, we can rely on AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery itself.

Flexible, allowing us to provide NAS and SAN solutions with the same hardware

According to my experience, for certain HPC environments, we encounter certain Memory/CPU limitations when we have a large number of IOPS. This is why, in order to support such loads, several cabs are required in parallel, complicating the configuration and administration. Another handicap is the management of the LACP that, when we are talking about environments with less than 20 calculation nodes, may not balance correctly despite setting the RR option.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is a reliable and cost-effective solution for business continuity."

"What I like about ECR AWS is that it is a fully managed service, so I don't need to manage the underlying infrastructure or worry about scalability in AWS concerning building, maintenance, security, and high availability."

"There has definitely been a lot of improvements in recovery time with very less downtime because we already understand how to recover using the clear process that AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery provides."

"Since it is a managed service, I reduce my time to manage infrastructure and applications."

"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests."

"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."

"Scalability is pretty good; it's seamless and can do it automatically."

"AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery has positively impacted our organization by improving our overall resilience and reducing downtime risk."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pros

"We are very happy with this solution as it brings us the scalability and stability of Data Ontap and the versatility of NetApp solutions in order to provide different types of services for our customers' requirements (NAS, CIFS, FC / FCoE)."

"You have the ability to connect a third-party storage back end, EMC VMAX in our case, and have all NetApp functionalities available."

Cons

"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."

"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."

"Sometimes, one of the servers will get behind for one reason or another, and it does not notify us when that happens."

"The UI could be a little sleeker."

"Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status."

"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."

"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery cons

"We have had some performance issues."

"According to my experience, for certain HPC environments, we encounter certain Memory/CPU limitations when we have a large number of IOPS."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."

"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."

"Where the price adds up, there are CloudEndure licenses, then there is the AWS environment, and finally, there is the AWS storage, so cumulatively, it adds up."

"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."

"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."

"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed."

"The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
