Robust, Secure, VMware-based DR

Data security and protection is at the very forefront of Halo Financial’s operations and they required a highly secure, reliable and robust disaster recovery (DR) solution as part of this approach.

Secura’s Cloud DR solution meets all of Halo Financial’s security and performance expectations and requirements, providing a cost-effective, flexible and scalable VMware-based DR solution with near-instant recovery of all virtual machines.

Cloud DR leverages VMware’s vCloud Availability technology to offer self-service replication, migration and failover from our self-service web portal, giving Halo granular control over their whole disaster recovery process, with expert support and advice from the Secura team when needed.

Data protected by Cloud DR is stored and recovered from our Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), which is a secure by design cloud platform delivered from multiple UK-based Tier 3 data centres.

Secura CEO, Ollie Beaton, commented:

We’re thrilled to welcome Halo Financial as Cloud DR customers. Halo are an incredibly exciting FinTech business and we’re delighted to support their disaster recovery requirements with an equally exciting and innovative solution. Cloud DR is the ideal solution for protecting VMware workloads and will offer the team at Halo peace of mind as they continue to grow the business.
