AWS Use Case

When AWS-Only DR Creates Cloud Dependency

AWS delivers scalable infrastructure for enterprise workloads - but AWS-native DR strategies are tightly coupled to the AWS ecosystem. When DR extends beyond AWS regions or into hybrid environments, complexity and cost compound. Datamotive breaks that dependency.

Replication Architecture

One source. Recovery to any target.

Continuous, agentless replication routes through Datamotive - failover and failback to any platform in under 10 minutes.

Eliminate AWS Lock-In from Your DR Strategy

AWS-native tools are designed primarily for AWS-to-AWS replication, limiting flexibility in hybrid and multi-cloud architectures. Extending beyond AWS regions becomes complex, costly, and operationally rigid. Datamotive enables consistent recovery outcomes without dependency on a single cloud provider.

AWS workload recovery across Azure, VMware, or AWS regions

<10-minute RTO for both failover and failback

Agentless architecture with minimal operational overhead

Conversion-free cross-cloud portability

Incremental replication for efficient failback

Consistent recovery outcomes without single-cloud dependency

1

Discover

Agentless discovery of all AWS workloads, IPs, and storage configurations - zero footprint on production systems.

2

Replicate

Continuous incremental replication transmits only delta changes, keeping RPO near-zero with minimal bandwidth.

3

Recover

One-click failover or failback to Azure, VMware, or any AWS region - under 10 minutes, conversion-free.

Built for Multi-Cloud DR Without Complexity

A purpose-built architecture that makes AWS workloads portable, recoverable, and operationally independent across any environment.

Competitor estimates reflect cross-cloud recovery scenarios. Native tools do not support cross-cloud DR natively; figures represent estimated manual migration timelines.
