SunGard introduces RaaS In India

SunGard Availability Services has introduced its Recovery-as-a-Service (RaaS) in India on a pay-as-you-go service model.

With the newly launched RaaS, the company is targeting the medium and large enterprises by making SLA-driven recovery timeframes for their mission critical IT operations affordable.

SunGard Availability Services has been operating in India for three years and RaaS is fully managed by SunGard Availability Services, and is designed to take full responsibility of the entire recovery process with skilled operations staff driving solution deployment.

On the importance of the India market to the company Keith Tilley, EVP EMEA & APAC, said, "SunGard Availability Services has been a pioneer in the recovery and continuity arena for over 30 years. In that time, we have found that services have naturally evolved to include managed and cloud-based services alongside those of disaster recovery and business continuity, to give 21st century businesses the operational and market availability they need in a world where 24/7 operations demand they are ‘open for business' at all times."

Elaborating on the benefits that SunGard brings its customers, Bala Vasireddi, SVP and GM - India Operations, SunGard Availability Services, said, "Having made significant investments in India over the past three years, SunGard now has the people, infrastructure and expertise in place to ensure that in the event of a disaster, its customers have the certainty of recovery within the agreed timeframe. Our team works in partnership with the customer to ensure the right solution is in place for their business objectives. With newly launched RaaS strategy the client's business downtime is brought to near-zero, which otherwise can have serious implications on their balance sheet, customer trust and other key stakeholder relationships."
