Application Recovery
•  Virtual Protection
Groups (VPG)
•  RTO and RPO
•  Consistency
•  Boot Order
•  Recovery Points

Choose Your Recovery Point
•  You are not limited to recovering from just the latest instance
•  Choose from recovery points prior to the disaster, allowing
peace of mind that you’ll bring back your workload from a
non-corrupted state

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

Ways to Think About the Cost of Recovery
•  Infrastructure cost
•  Value of application uptime
Annual Revenue $/Day $/Week $/Month
$5 Million $14K $96K $417K
$50 Million $140K $960K $4.2M
$100 Million $280 K $1.9M $8.4M

Comparing RaaS to Existing DR Solutions
Cold Site Comparison RTO RPO Relative Cost
Traditional “Cold site” Approach days 24 hours 25%
Bluelock RaaS
(In-Cloud or To-Cloud)
≤8 hours ≤4 hours 35%

HOW DO I GET STARTED?

STEPS TO PROTECT
YOUR APPLICATION

Zero Footprint, Extremely Efficient
•  Replicates at the
hypervisor level:
–  No agent installation or
rebooting of applications
to get up and running
–  No rework of the
application required
Don’t force your app to fit the DR.
Choose DR that fits the app.

Assess Your Apps
•  How to determine which ones need
protection, what level
•  App dependencies
•  How to size:
– CPU, Storage
– Bandwidth & rate of change
•  Runbook creation
– What software does vs what you do

Timeframes for interim milestones are for illustration only and will depend on customer specific criteria.
