Disaster Recovery as a Service

We’ve combined Zerto’s awarding-winning technology with our government-grade infrastructure, so you can quickly and efficiently recover your most sensitive workloads with minimal downtime and data loss.

We’re a Zerto Gold Partner

Powered by Zerto’s award-winning technology, our DRaaS solution makes it easy to replicate and recover virtual machines to the cloud. Suitable for workloads up to OFFICIAL SENSITIVE and with out-of-the-box access to government networks – including HSCN, Janet, PSN and RLI – add extra IT resilience to your most secure and sensitive systems.

Keep critical systems online

Our partnership with Zerto aims to support public sector organisations in their quest to boost business continuity (BC) and mature disaster recovery (DR) processes.

Now, using Zerto’s modern UI, you can replicate data and virtual machines (VMs) from your primary site to UKCloud’s secure, UK-sovereign data centres. In contrast to traditional disaster recovery techniques, UKCloud’s service enables you to perform regular, real-world, non-disruptive tests.

Service Overview

Is this the right Disaster Recovery as a Service option for you?

Ark Data Centres

Keep your data stored in the UK

Your data is a national asset and needs to be treated as such.

Our military-grade data centres ensure your data never leaves the UK. Keeping you ahead of the game when it comes to strict data regulations such a GDPR and Schrems II.

Native Access to Government Networks

Janet, RLI, HSCN and PSN

With native access to key government networks, you can move workloads to the cloud which were once restricted to hardwired, local access. Improve data interoperability and application availability in just a few clicks.

Award Winning Support

24/7 Support at No Extra Cost

All our customers benefit from an allocated Service Delivery Manager who is responsible for ensuring a world-class experience with our brands from the get-go. And with a current NPS score of +56, they’re doing a pretty good job.

Multiple Security Domains

Capable of hosting Above OFFICIAL workloads

For all your security requirements up to OFFICIAL SENSITIVE, we’ve put the necessary measures in place so you can move your most secure and sensitive systems to the cloud.

Security Cleared Staff

Your workloads are in safe hands

We take security seriously. And whilst our technical capability is one of a kind, it’s the people and processes we’ve put in place that enables us to offer a secure cloud service with multiple security domains. We offer a range of security domains for OFFICIAL, OFFICIAL SENSITIVE & Above OFFICIAL

UKCloud offers low latency connections to Crown Hosting

Quick, Reliable Access

Leverage our low latency connections to Crown Hosting and build hybrid, private or public cloud solutions that span both of our UK sovereign data centres (Farnborough and Corsham) – which are over 120km apart.

Networking equipment for Zerto Solution

Achieve RPO in seconds

Protect workloads running within your own or a third-party data centre and achieve Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) of just seconds. All without having to re-architect or redevelop your application.

Manage Workloads with Ease

Zerto’s self-service portal puts you in control of your recovery processes and ensures you can meet your business continuity plans and simulate DR scenarios without interrupting live applications

Supports multiple virtualisation technologies

Protect your on-premise VMware and Hyper-V VMs to UKCloud.

Choice of retention policies

Chose from 2,7,14 or 28-day retention periods and a choice of high-performance Tier 1 or standard Tier 2 storage.

Be in control of what is protected

Configure protection groups, which can include multiple VMs or vApps.

PAYG Pricing

Only pay for what you use

Whilst hardware runs 24/7, 365 days a year – it’s likely you only need to stand up the majority of your applications for a fraction of that time. Benefit from pay-as-you-go (PAYG) pricing and improved application availability as you transition to the cloud.

No Minimum Contract

No workload is too small

We’ve always encouraged public sector organisations to start small, but start today. We know all too well that seeing is believing, which is why we’re happy to migrate applications of any size to a secure, government-grade facility. A digital transformation is a marathon, not a sprint.

No hidden charges for the ingress or egress of data

Unlike many cloud service providers, UKCloud does not charge for the ingress or egress of data, or for database lookups/queries. This allows for true consumption-based billing with no hidden charges.
