PowerScale customers that want a full cloud-enableddisaster recoverysolution can now take advantage of Superna Eyeglass DR Manager for replication orchestration and metadata management. When used with PowerScale for Multi-Cloud, this solution can replicate data from an organization’s data centers to Faction’s cloud-adjacent data center. Applications can also be recovered to the cloud-adjacent data center or to a customer’s public cloud of choice.
