Van Lanschot Belgium Gets VirtualSharp's ReliableDR

Today, many companies are improving backup strategies that facilitate more promising data recovery in the event of a system glitch or failure.

VirtualSharp Software's ReliableDR has been selected by Van Lanschot Bank Belgium to enhance the recovery time of its IT services, supporting all business applications and seven terabytes of confidential customer and business data.

VirtualSharp Software is a source of next-generation automated Disaster Recovery solutions for private and public clouds.

Van Lanschot Belgium has 150 employees working at offices in Antwerp, Brussels, Gent, Hasselt and Kortrijk, who generate access and query data daily. The bank's storage sites run active/active and support mission-critical corporate applications that include Microsoft (News - Alert) SQL Server backends and Exchange infrastructure. 

VirtualSharp Software's ReliableDR orchestrates enterprise clouds to fully automate failover testing and to ensure compliance with business continuity policies, according to a press release. The firm has introduced a V#P Partner program with 30 partners spanning 14 geographies to support the increased demand for its software.

"ReliableDR's unique Disaster Recovery orchestration for cloud and virtualized applications addresses those concerns, and we're seeing unprecedented demand for our software," said Michael Hillewaert, VP of EMEA Sales at VirtualSharp Software.

"The nature of our business means that we must be able to quickly restore IT services at the push of a button, be it because of an internal exercise, an external audit or an unforeseen data center outage,” said Paul Timmermans, Managing Director at Van Lanschot Belgium. “As a result, our Disaster Recovery strategy cannot fail to deliver and this is why we chose VirtualSharp Software's ReliableDR – because it lets us run non-disruptive, frequent, scheduled Disaster Recovery tests to ensure that a successful service recovery is always assured.”

VirtualSharp was named a “Cool Vendor” for its sophisticated disaster recovery solutions last month.
