Reduce downtime

Ensure maximum availability of your business-critical systems – even in emergencies.

Outages can never be completely prevented – but their impact can. The crucial factor is how quickly systems are available again. Netstream Workload Availability Service ensures the secure replication of your workloads and automated recovery, so your processes continue to run smoothly in the event of a disaster.

Their business-critical systems are continuously replicated to a second, geographically separate data center in Switzerland. This ensures that all data and resources are immediately available in an emergency – without manual intervention or loss of time.

In the event of a failure, entire systems can be automatically restored – including predefined restart sequences and dependencies. This ensures a controlled and traceable restart process.

Regular test scenarios verify your recovery processes – without impacting your production environment. The processes remain traceable, documented, and realistic.

Our solution is based on VMware vSphere Replication and VMware Live Recovery. This makes it fully compatible with existing VMware environments – on-premises or in the Cloud.

All data and systems are operated in our own data centers in Switzerland – ISO/IEC 27001 certified, with redundant power supply, 100% solar power and maximum security.

seamless integration

Compatible with your existing VMware environment – ​​on-prem or in the Cloud.

enhanced security

Rely on proven processes – for your compliance and security.

maximum availability

Automated recovery secures your systems – quickly and reliably.

complete control

Keep track of all workloads, processes, and recoveries at all times.

safe testing

Perform recovery tests without risk or interruption of operations.

transparent costs

Pay only for what you really need – no hidden costs.

In an emergency, we will switch your workloads to our Cloudinfrastructure in a controlled manner – including network, access rules andag.

Depending on the scenario and configuration, the switchover can take place in a few minutes – with defined RTO/RPO targets.

Site Recovery automates the entire DRagprocess – from initial setup to ongoing administration. Thanks to its policy-based approach and deep integration with VMware Cloud Foundation, even large environments can be managed with just a few clicks.

With Cyber ​​Recovery, you store snapshots in a highly secure VMwareCloudfile system. This ensures the integrity of your data is maintained even at the time of recovery – even in the event of targeted ransomware attacks. Additionally, VMs are isolated from each other during the restore process to prevent malware from spreading laterally.

In an emergency, every minute counts. The integrated orchestration workflows restore your systems in the correct order and according to defined rules – quickly, reliably, and without manual intervention.

You can conduct planned test runs without disrupting production. This way, you know your disaster recovery (DR) strategy will work in an emergency.

In standby mode, you only pay a flat fee per VM plus the required storageag. Additional costs for computing power and network access only arise in the event of a disaster, when your VM is actually started in the Cloud . This keeps your DR strategy cost-effective – without unnecessary upfront costs.

In active mode, VM resources also become a significant factor.

Here are some calculation examples.

Disaster Recovery

More than just a Backup: Prepare specifically for outages.

Disaster recovery not only protects your data, but also keeps your business operational in an emergency. Unlike traditional Backupsolutions, Netstream allows for the orchestrated restoration of entire systems: fully automated, in the correct order, and without manual intervention.

Easy migration

Safely and predictably shift your productive workloads – without business interruption.

Use the Workload Availability Service for planned migrations to the Netstream Cloud. Your existing systems are replicated and tested while running. Once everything is ready, the switchover is controlled – without data loss and without production downtime.

How much does workload availability cost?

Trust company with 10 employees and a digitized workflow on Abacus.

A short circuit has crippled the company's server. Access to accounting data, payroll, and the CRM system is blocked. The last Backup was created the evening before.  

Server configuration

  • 7 virtual machines

  • 38 vCPU

  • 140 GB RAM

  • 3.5 TB data volume

  • 100 GB daily changes

without disaster recovery

During the recovery process, no cases can be processed, and billing and payments will be delayed. Access to documents is interrupted, and email communication is restricted.

  • Productivity loss: 3 daysag10 employees × CHF 800 = CHF 24,000
  • IT emergency response and data recovery = CHF 5,000
  • Missed tax deadlines = CHF 12,000
  • Reputational damage and loss of trust

All seven VMs are critical and are regularly replicated to the Netstream Cloud while in standby mode. The customer starts the necessary servers in the Cloud within minutes and simply continues working. The VMs in the Netstream Cloud remain active until the damage has been completely resolved.

A fault in the GPU node's RAID controller caused the failure of both remote desktop VMs and the Digital Asset ManagementagDAM) system. The remaining systems continued to run, but access to creative data, central layouts, and production environments was severely restricted.

Server configuration

  • 12 virtual machines

  • 86 vCPU

  • 340 GB RAM

  • 15 TB data volume

  • 600 GB daily changes

without disaster recovery

Employees can partially switch to local workstations, but they have no access to central data and their ability to continue working is limited. Customer communication is delayed, and approvals and pitches are postponed.

  • Productivity loss: 3 daysag30 employees × CHF 700 × 60% = CHF 37,800
  • Spare part & technician for RAID controller repair = CHF 5,000
  • Project delays, reputational damage and customer reactions = CHF 10,000
