DR Without
Compute Investment.
Traditional DR requires a standby environment — compute, storage, and licenses sitting idle. Sendense offers an alternative: backup to S3, restore on-demand to any platform when you need it.
The Problem
Hot DR with 5-minute RTO is powerful — but it requires compute at the recovery site. For some organizations, that's overkill. The budget isn't there for infrastructure that sits idle 99.9% of the time.
But having no DR at all isn't an option either. You need recovery capability, just not instant failover.
What if you could have DR at storage costs instead of compute costs?
How Sendense Solves It
Backup to S3
Store backups in any S3-compatible storage. Pay for storage, not idle compute.
Restore On-Demand
When disaster strikes, spin up VMs on CloudStack, OSSEA, or Azure. Pay for compute only when you need it.
Inline VM Conversion
Restore from any source to any destination. Sendense handles hypervisor conversion automatically.
AsureDense Evidence
Every backup has provable recovery evidence. Auditors see proof, not promises.
The Trade-Off
Hot DR (Replication)
- • 5-minute RTO
- • Requires compute at DR site
- • Higher cost, instant failover
- • Best for: mission-critical workloads
Cold DR (Backup to S3)
- • Hours RTO
- • No compute until needed
- • Lower cost, on-demand recovery
- • Best for: cost-sensitive workloads
The Outcome
DR doesn't have to mean idle infrastructure. Pay for storage, restore when needed, recover anywhere.
