(8.13.2009 INDIANAPOLIS, IN) – Indianapolis-based BlueLock, provider of cloud computing and managed IT services was featured in a July 23, 2009 Gartner report entitled “Hype Cycle for Business Continuity Management, 2009″ in the Cloud-Based Recovery Services section.
The report features findings on the increasing costs and risks of business disruptions and how they continue to drive the importance of effective business continuity management operations for business and technology executives. BlueLock was featured as a cloud services company able to cost-effectively solve business continuity issues using cloud computing and virtualization technologies.
“BlueLock has worked hard over the years to build a cloud computing platform that enables businesses to easily and efficiently integrate a cost effective disaster recovery solution into their IT infrastructure,” said Pat O’Day, CTO of BlueLock. “It’s nice to get this kind of recognition from a highly recognized and respected source such as Gartner.”
BlueLock’s disaster recovery solution is built on virtualized servers and uses virtualized storage. The two solutions work together to provide rapid recovery and performance on demand enabling BlueLock to readily adjust to client needs and quickly provide production capacity should a disaster occur. A couple of BlueLock’s local disaster recovery clients include Marian University and Wooden & McLaughlin, LLP.
“Using a combination of VMware and HP technology, we’re able to clone a bootable copy of a client’s production environment and move it hundreds of miles away to a disaster recovery site. When they declare a disaster or want to test their recovery plan, we simply boot them into production. You can’t do that without virtualization,” said O’Day.
