TOP 10RECOVERY-AS-A-SERVICEQUESTIONS
@Bluelock | #BLRaaS | www.bluelock.com
How We Ended Up with These Questions
• Based on field experience with prospects and customers
• Based on questions asked in previous RaaS webinars
• We’ve put together 9 questions, but are leaving the 10th up to today’s audience– Submit your questions via the chat
or Q&A panel
@Bluelock | #BLRaaS | www.bluelock.com
“What is RaaS?”Better Backup or Better DR
• Depends on what kind of experience you want and where you want to spend your time…
Backups require more work in the setup and in the event of a disaster, if you’re relying on it for your DR protection

“What is the Difference Between Backup to the Cloud and RaaS?”
• I/O and compute• RTO• VMs versus file backup• Can I have my backups
go to the same location as my RaaS?
@Bluelock | #BLRaaS | www.bluelock.com
“How Do I Protect Physical / Legacy or Non-Virtualized Systems?”
• Virtualize it?• Agent-based replication into a VM target• Application level replication
(log shipping or MS-SQL availability groups)
• Or physical assets stored in colocation space
@Bluelock | #BLRaaS | www.bluelock.com
“Are There Size or Data Limitations with RaaS?”
• Is my environment too small or too large?• What are the VM or storage limitations
within a single Virtual Protection Group?• Sizes that fit Bluelock RaaS:
– Example 1 VM with 250MB– Example 20 VMs with 2TB– Example 180 VMs with 6TB
@Bluelock | #BLRaaS | www.bluelock.com
“How Do I Initially Transfer My Data to the Cloud?”
• Data seeding– CDP– Media (secure courier)
• Initial replication networking setup– Bandwidth requirements
for continuous data protection
– Security– Connectivity options including
Dynamic networks
• Dynamic networking
@Bluelock | #BLRaaS | www.bluelock.com
“How Do I Manage the Network for RaaS?”
• Full bandwidth “on demand”at time of failover
• End-user connectivity upon declaration
• IP addressing and DNS
@Bluelock | #BLRaaS | www.bluelock.com
“What’s Automated and What’s Not?”
• Keep it simple• Which configs get passed over from the production site?
– In VM configuration data– Meta VM configuration – vCD versus vSphere
• Are firewall rules replicated?• Networking options
– Same subnets (public and private), leverage NAT on the edge, best for whole datacenter outage
– Different subnets (public and private), best when there are partial outages or when private links are involved
• Public IP addresses
@Bluelock | #BLRaaS | www.bluelock.com
“How Do I Manage RPO and RTO Configurations?”
• Lowest possible configurations• Snapshots vs CDP• When and why would you need different
configurations• How far back can I go in the journal?
– Limitations of amount stored?– Does interval depend on I/O load?– Does small RTO impact client VM IO performance?– Is there history consolidation? – Retention options
@Bluelock | #BLRaaS | www.bluelock.com
“What Happens During Failover and Failback?”
• Is the solution bidirectional?
• Can I bring up my recovery VM without vCenter online at primary site?
• What happens if a server outage occurs during failover?
• Does the network connection remain in place after a failover?
