Cristie Automated System Recovery

Data backup and system recovery are not the same – a robust system recovery solution is vital to minimise downtime.

Our Recovery (BMR) software integrates with industry leading backup providers such as IBM, Dell, Cohesity & Rubrik to recover machines directly from their backups. Machines can be restored to dissimilar hardware and also to virtual and cloud environments.

Simplify physical system recovery

Cristie BMR Recovery automates the recovery of physical systems and integrates with leading remote access and boot management solutions.

Recover systems in as little as 10 minutes

Recoveries can be carried out in as little as ten minutes to dissimilar physical hardware or to virtual & cloud environments.

Schedule regular recovery simulations

Recovery simulations can be scheduled to monitor recovery functionality and performance. Simulations can take place within an isolated network to not impact the production environment.

Full DR Orchestration & Reporting

Recovery jobs can be scripted for testing and failover including manual tasks such as loading a tape cartridge. Recovery reports can be generated for compliance purposes.

ML driven Recovery Log Analysis

Recovery reports are analyzed by our ML engine providing automatic correction of failure scenarios where possible or corrective guidance.

Virtual Appliance Clustering

VA clustering provides resilience for recovery jobs in the event of an appliance failure.

License & Estate Reporting

The VA can provide a comprehensive report of all licenses and your server estate with CSV export.

Automated Recoveries

This allows an application group of servers or an entire data center to be recovered quickly.

Recovery to Isolated Networks

Allows automated recovery testing without impacting the production environment. In addition, DR automation can shutdown or delete the DR environment after testing, reducing consumption costs where cloud is being used.

Point in time recoveries

Cristie BMR provides point in time recoveries as supported by the host backup application.

Recovery Log Analysis

Recovery reports are analyzed by our AI engine providing automatic detection of any anomalies.

Email Notifications

Receive email notifications of any recovery errors, failures or detected anomalies.

Full DR Orchestration & Reporting

Recovery processes can be scripted for testing and failover including manual tasks such as loading a tape cartridge. Recovery email reports can be generated for compliance purposes.
