The University of Reading's IT team is set to conduct disaster recovery testing by switching to Nutanix's NC2 cloud services. Head of operations, Kevin Mortimer, explained the need for a reliable failover system that could handle critical workloads if their main datacentre were to fail. While public cloud solutions like Azure are cost prohibitive, NC2 offers a middle ground, providing cloud benefits with manageable expenses. This initiative aligns with their ongoing use of Rubrik for backup, solidifying a robust disaster recovery strategy.
Mortimer emphasized the importance of having a disaster recovery plan, stating that a switch to public cloud would be far more costly than their hybrid approach.
He noted that Nutanix's NC2 offers a balance between on-premises cost-effectiveness and cloud advantages, making it a suitable option for their infrastructure.
