In today’s digital landscape, the threat of cyber-attacks, particularly ransomware, is a reality that most organizations are all too familiar with. As a result, disaster recovery (DR) and data backup solutions have become indispensable. For many Nutanix customers, Xi Leap has been the go-to solution for DR needs. However, the recent announcement by Xi Cloud to discontinue Xi Leap has left many businesses searching for a viable replacement. 

The discontinuation of Xi Leap has brought a new urgency for Nutanix customers and partners to find an alternative disaster recovery solution. Setting up a secondary data center or investing in an in-house DR service can be prohibitively expensive. The initial costs, ongoing maintenance, and operational complexities make this option less feasible for many organizations. While DR-to-cloud solutions offer a cost-effective alternative, the challenge of migrating workloads between on-premises data centers and public clouds remains a significant hurdle. 

The Future of Disaster Recovery for Nutanix

Choice Solutions offers a solution tailored specifically for Nutanix customers. This innovative service eliminates the need for investment in additional facilities or hardware, offering a seamless, fully integrated DR-to-cloud solution that protects applications and data across Nutanix environments. 

Our expert service stands out by utilizing the same platform both on-premises and at the recovery site, which removes the need for complicated translations of constructs, policies, and data models. For customers transitioning from Xi Leap, Choice Solutions’ service represents not just a replacement, but an upgrade. Choice Solutions provides continuous monitoring and validation of your backups through a combination of our 24×7 support as well as automation tools to identify and resolve challenges. 

More Than Just a Replacement

One of the most significant advantages of partnering with Choice Solutions is our ability to map compute resources one-to-one, ensuring exact replication between the customer’s data center and the recovery site. This is a major improvement over Xi Leap, which relied on a large storage container where compute resources were added on demand, often leading to delays of up to an hour. This means our customers have access to the computing power they need instantly, enhancing both efficiency and response times. 

Key Differentiators

We offer several key benefits that set us apart from other DR solutions:

1. Cost Efficiency: Shifts the financial model from capital expenditure (CapEx) to operational expenditure (OpEx), allowing businesses to distribute costs through a pay-as-you-go model. This approach can be up to 70% more cost-effective than traditional public cloud deployments.
2. Operational Flexibility: Provides a flexible disaster recovery model that allows businesses to tier workloads between instant and on-demand recovery, optimizing efficiency based on specific data protection policies.
3. Managed Service: Includes comprehensive managed services that cover all aspects of data center hosting and connectivity. Our expert disaster recovery team is available to assist with configuration, testing, and live invocations, ensuring that businesses are fully supported at every step.
