Cloud-First Disaster Recovery. No Appliances. No Delays.

Protect critical Windows servers with full-image backup and instant cloud failover. IBDR Direct removes the hardware barrier — deploy in minutes, recover in minutes. Delivered by DataCloudWorks, a division of BlueAlly, an authorized Infrascale reseller and certified partner.

Infrascale BDR Direct

Traditional DR Requires Hardware You Don’t Want to Manage.

Physical DR appliances need to be quoted, shipped, racked, configured, and maintained. That’s before they’re even protecting anything. IBDR Direct removes every one of those barriers.

How BDR Direct Works

Three components. No appliances. Cloud-ready from day one.

1

Install the Endpoint Agent

A lightweight agent installed on each Windows server or workstation captures full-system image backups — including OS, applications, settings, and data. No on-premises appliance required. Deployment takes minutes.

2

Replicate to Infrascale Cloud

Backups are compressed, deduplicated, and encrypted using Infrascale’s patented DDFS. Only unique data transfers to the Infrascale Cloud (GCP) — optimizing bandwidth. Your systems are always synchronized and boot-ready.

3

Fail Over and Recover

When disaster strikes, boot your protected systems directly in the Infrascale Cloud. Access via secure RDP or web browser. When the outage resolves, fail back to original or new hardware — capturing changes made during cloud operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Standard IBDR solutions use a physical or virtual on-premises appliance (Cloud Failover Appliance) to backup locally and replicate to the cloud. IBDR Direct eliminates the appliance entirely — a lightweight agent on each server backs up directly to the Infrascale Cloud. This means faster deployment, no hardware costs, and no appliance lifecycle management.

BDR Direct protects Windows Server (2012 and later), Windows workstations, SQL Server, and Exchange Server. It uses agent-based full-image backup, covering the entire system including OS, applications, settings, and data.

Recovery time depends on workload size, but IBDR Direct is designed for rapid cloud boot — typically within minutes. Your systems are always synchronized in the cloud via Infrascale’s patented DDFS, so no pre-recovery preparation is needed.

Yes. IBDR Direct includes unlimited self-service DR testing at no additional charge and with no formal declaration required. You can test your recovery plan, verify boot-readiness via screenshot verification, and browse backup contents at any time.

Each protected device includes 30 days of cloud compute resources per subscription period. This covers the compute needed to boot and run your protected systems in the Infrascale Cloud during DR events or testing. Additional compute days beyond 30 per device may be available — contact DataCloudWorks for details.

Yes — IBDR Direct is an ideal fit for remote and distributed environments. Since there’s no appliance to ship or rack, you can protect servers across any number of locations by simply deploying a lightweight agent. Management is fully centralized through the Infrascale Dashboard.
