Disaster Recovery

The Business Challenge
One of the most difficult challenges of every disaster recovery plan is restoring the enterprise software and re-establishing a productive desktop workspace. Ceedo provides a fast, simple and highly affordable solution for equipping yur users for an uninterrupted business continuity.

One of the most difficult challenges of every disaster recovery plan is restoring the enterprise software and re-establishing a productive desktop workspace. There are several scenarios that require some sort of disaster recovery response:

  • Personal business continuity. The end user loses or breaks their PC/laptop.
  • Company disaster. Building evacuation for any reason, such as fire or fire alarm. End-users cannot access their PCs and may be required to abandon their laptops in the building.
  • Disasters that confine people to their homes. Usually weather-related (e.g. snow storms), health-related (H1N1 SARS).

In short, every business, no matter where it is located, must plan for the contingency that employees are unable to use their assigned PCs or laptops.

Possible solutions are:

  • Full VDI access from home. Expensive and time consuming to implement. Poor performance for end-users with slow Internet connections.
  • Alternate work sites. Expensive and not effective for weather events or epidemics, and not a solution for small-scale events (personal business continuity).
  • Set up employees with PCs they can use from home. Expensive to set up - expensive to maintain.

Ceedo's workspace virtualization solution is low-cost, flexible, and fast to deploy.

The Ceedo Solution
Ceedo allows any organization to design an extremely efficient disaster recovery plan, and to practice its use on a daily basis – no waiting for D-Day.

Ceedo Enterprise is a managed virtual workspace which can easily be carried on a flash drive/portable hard drive, or downloaded from the Web and run on any Windows PC. It allows any organization to design an extremely efficient business continuity plan, and to practice its use on a daily basis - no waiting for D-Day.

Users simply access a Web link to download a full desktop workspace - including all their applications and settings - and start working immediately. No installation is required, and no admin rights to the PC needed.

Alternately, users can be given USB drives containing their fully-provisioned desktop workspace. They can just plug the drive into any standard Windows PC and start working immediately.

Using Ceedo, the enterprise need only create and test one environment in order to be able to equip all employees so that when D-Day happens:

  • Employees can keep their standard work environment; no special training is needed.
  • The disaster recovery system is fully-tested, maintained, and ready.
  • Survivability is significantly improved compared to a single offsite location.
