applications and data with near-real-time recovery point
and 4 hours or less recovery time objectives.

Unparalleled Application Availability

application and data into SunGards secure virtualization
environment optimizes the availability of critical
applications and data to those who need it.

Total System Replication


OS and application patching are things of the past, as

Recovery-as-a-Service solution, including
implementation, activation, monitoring, management,
problem resolution and reporting through the SunGard
