Disaster Recovery Testing With the Click of a Mouse

Quickly create snapshot duplicates of the recovery archives and boot them into safe sandbox test networks. PlateSpin Forge® provides an easy, fast—and more importantly, safe—testing mechanism.

Best practices recommend that recovery solutions should be tested at least once every six months. In today's business world, six months can be an eternity. That's why PlateSpin Forge offers easy testing that can be performed monthly—or even weekly—to make sure that your disaster recovery plan is up to date.

Organizations have been trying to simplify disaster recovery testing for as long as data centers have existed. The all-in-one appliance packaging of PlateSpin Forge, including embedded virtualization technology, removes the need to have to find, configure, and stage dedicated testing infrastructure. Labor and time-intensive disaster recovery drills can be replaced by a few clicks of a mouse.

When it's time to test, PlateSpin Forge administrators simply need to select the servers to be tested (whether one or all 25) and initiate the test command. PlateSpin Forge takes care of the rest, creating a snapshot duplicate of the selected servers and booting them into a fenced-off network segment within the appliance itself.

Not only is this the easiest testing mechanism on the market, but because PlateSpin uses both a fenced-off network as well as duplicates of the recovery servers, testing can be done with zero impact on production servers. This renders the off-hour testing window a thing of the past. PlateSpin Forge makes testing so easy and so safe you can do it whenever you want, even during production work hours.
