Veeam DRaaS — replicate your infrastructure to GigeNET and failover in minutes, not days.

GigeNET's Disaster Recovery as a Service solution, powered by Veeam, replicates your VMware or Hyper-V infrastructure to our data centers — so in the event of a ransomware attack, hardware failure, or site-level disaster, your workloads can be restored or failed over with minimal downtime. Two paths available: bring your own hardware to our colocation facility (Onsite DRaaS), or replicate directly to GigeNET's prebuilt Veeam Cloud Connect infrastructure (Cloud Connect DRaaS).

Two ways to deploy DRaaS with GigeNET.

Both paths use Veeam Backup & Replication for replication and failover. The difference is where your DR infrastructure lives and who manages it.

Onsite DRaaS

Your DR infrastructure runs on dedicated servers or your own collocated hardware in GigeNET's data centers. GigeNET engineers help scope and configure — you control the replication plan and resource allocation.
Best for: teams that need full infrastructure control and custom resource allocation

Onsite DRaaS

Cloud Connect DRaaS

Replicate directly to GigeNET's prebuilt Veeam Cloud Connect platform — no dedicated DR hardware required. Connect your VBR console to our cloud platform and start replication within minutes.
Best for: teams that want DRaaS without procuring or managing DR hardware

Cloud Connect DRaaS

How Veeam DRaaS works at GigeNET.

Veeam Backup & Replication continuously replicates your VMware or Hyper-V virtual machines to GigeNET’s infrastructure — maintaining a synchronized copy that can be powered on in minutes if your primary environment fails. Unlike traditional backup-and-restore DR (which can take hours), Veeam replication keeps your DR copy warm and ready, dramatically reducing recovery time objectives.

Replication traffic is encrypted point-to-point via SSL. WAN acceleration compresses data in transit to reduce bandwidth consumption without adding recovery time. Failback to your primary environment is fully supported with data synchronization — so when you’re ready to return to production, your data is already in sync.

Onsite DRaaS

Veeam Onsite DRaaS

With Onsite DRaaS, your disaster recovery infrastructure runs on physical hardware inside GigeNET’s data centers — either on GigeNET-leased dedicated servers or your own collocated equipment. Veeam replicates your VMs to this dedicated infrastructure over an encrypted connection, maintaining a synchronized replica ready to failover on demand.

GigeNET’s engineers scope the hardware requirements based on your VM inventory, replication frequency, and recovery time objectives — then configure and test the DR environment before you need it. You retain full control over replication policies, failover procedures, and resource allocation.

Veeam Onsite DRaaS

Key benefits of Veeam Onsite DRaaS.

Your hardware, your rules

Run DR on GigeNET-provisioned dedicated servers — or bring your own collocated equipment. Either way, you control the resource allocation, replication policies, and failover procedures. No shared infrastructure with other tenants.

Encrypted point-to-point

All replication traffic travels over secure, encrypted tunnels from your production environment to GigeNET's DR infrastructure. Your data never moves unprotected — in transit or at rest.

Custom replication plans

Define replication schedules, RPO targets, and resource allocation based on the criticality of each workload. Tier your VMs — critical applications replicate every few minutes, less critical workloads on a longer schedule — without paying for one-size-fits-all protection.

Engineers on call when it matters most

A DR event is the worst time to be on hold with a help desk. GigeNET's 24/7 on-site engineers are available by phone during a failover event — not just a portal ticket queue.

Cloud Connect DRaaS

Veeam DRaaS with Cloud Connect

With Cloud Connect DRaaS, there’s no dedicated DR hardware to procure or configure. Connect your existing Veeam Backup & Replication console to GigeNET’s Cloud Connect platform and begin replicating your VMware or Hyper-V VMs within minutes — directly to GigeNET’s managed Veeam infrastructure.

In a failover event, your VMs spin up on GigeNET’s Cloud Connect platform with your existing network rules, NAT configuration, and IP addressing intact — thanks to built-in virtual appliances. Full failback to your production environment is supported with automatic data synchronization when you’re ready to return.

  • Full-site failover to GigeNET’s Cloud Connect platform
  • Full failback with automatic data synchronization to your infrastructure
  • WAN acceleration — Veeam compresses replication traffic to reduce bandwidth consumption
  • Point-to-point SSL encryption from your VBR infrastructure to GigeNET’s platform
  • Built-in virtual appliances — preserve your network rules, NAT configuration, and IPv4 addressing during failover; support partial failovers for individual workloads
  • Flexible resource packages — storage, CPU, and memory tailored to your VM inventory
  • DNS failover to GigeNET’s Veeam infrastructure during a total site outage
  • 24/7 engineer support — available by phone during DR events, not just portal tickets
  • 100% network uptime SLA — backed by GigeNET’s contractual uptime guarantee
