Disaster Recovery Solution
EasyStack Disaster Recovery (DR) Solution delivers automated, orchestrated protection for workloads running on ECF (Cloud Infrastructure Platform), ECNF (Cloud Native Infrastructure), and EAF (AI Infrastructure Platform). Built on the EOS Digital Native Engine and leveraging proven agent-based replication technology, the solution provides continuous data protection, predefined DR plans, one-click failover, and automated failback.
As enterprises migrate from VMware to open private cloud platforms and deploy AI workloads, disaster recovery requirements grow more complex. Workloads span VMs, Kubernetes containers, bare metal, and AI inference services. Data must remain within national borders. RTO and RPO expectations are tightening. Traditional DR solutions — based on storage replication or manual runbooks — are too slow, too expensive, and too fragile for modern hybrid workloads.
EasyStack DR Solution addresses these challenges. It integrates natively with ECF for VM and volume protection, ECNF for Kubernetes and container workloads, and EAF for AI model repositories and inference services. Using agent-based block-level replication, it continuously protects workloads from production sites to DR sites — whether on-premises, in a second EasyStack region, or in a sovereign cloud environment.
DR plans define the orchestration of recovery: which workloads to recover, in what order, with what network mappings and resource specifications. Failover can be triggered manually or automatically. Failback returns workloads to production with zero data loss or downtime.
With EasyStack DR, enterprises can:
Achieve RPO of minutes to zero and RTO of minutes.
Protect virtual machines, containers, and AI inference services.
Automate failover orchestration with predefined DR plans.
Test DR strategies without disrupting production.
Maintain data sovereignty and compliance across regions.
Reuse existing ECF / ECNF / EAF infrastructure without vendor lock-in.
Downtime cost, regulation, VMware replacement and AI workloads are converging at the same time.
For financial services, government, energy, and healthcare organizations, even minutes of downtime can result in millions of dollars in losses, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage. Industry analysts consistently report that the majority of organizations experience at least one significant IT outage per year, and the average cost per hour of downtime continues to rise.
Regulations such as Indonesia's PDP Law, Thailand's PDPA, and Europe's GDPR require data to be protected and often kept within national borders. Disaster recovery sites must comply with the same sovereignty requirements as production sites. EasyStack DR enables sovereign, on-premises DR across regions within the same jurisdiction.
As enterprises replace VMware with open platforms like EasyStack ECF, their existing VMware-centric DR solutions — such as SRM — may no longer be applicable. EasyStack DR provides a vendor-neutral, platform-agnostic alternative that protects KVM, OpenStack, container, and AI workloads from a single control plane.
AI inference services, model repositories, and Agentic workflows are stateful, latency-sensitive, and often business-critical. Traditional backup-and-restore is insufficient. EasyStack DR supports continuous replication and automated failover for EAF workloads, including model service endpoints and inference configurations.
Legacy DR tools were not designed for heterogeneous, sovereign, AI-era workloads.
Description
VMs, containers, bare metal, and AI services require different protection strategies.
Manual runbooks and storage-based replication often lead to RTO of hours or days.
Dedicated DR hardware and standby infrastructure are expensive and underutilized.
DR drills disrupt production and are difficult to schedule and validate.
DR sites must comply with the same data residency regulations as production.
Recovery order, network mapping, and dependencies must be automated, not manual.
Traditional agents consume resources and require maintenance on every protected host.
A DR control plane, replication agents, cloud agents, DR site storage and a DR plan repository.
EOS Digital Native Engine foundation
EasyStack DR is built on the EOS Digital Native Engine, the same microservices-based, fully symmetric distributed cloud operating system that powers ECF, ECNF, and EAF. EOS provides:
DR architecture components
Central control plane for replication management, DR plan orchestration, and failover/failback. Provides web UI and RESTful API.
Installed on protected hosts (or provided as an appliance). Performs block-level changed block tracking (CBT) and sends incremental changes to the DR site.
Auxiliary VM on the target DR site that receives replicated data and writes it to target storage.
Target storage for replicated data: local disks, EasyStack volume disks, NFS, or S3-compatible object storage.
Stores predefined DR plans containing machine specifications, network mappings, boot order, and orchestration instructions.
Replication architecture & DR plan orchestration
EasyStack DR uses agent-based block-level replication:
DR plans are the heart of recovery automation. Each plan defines:
Plans can be created in Basic mode (graphical interface) or Expert mode (JSON-based for complex scenarios). Plans can be generated automatically from protected machines or from a CSV file for large-scale environments.
Continuous data protection, predefined DR plans, one-click failover, non-disruptive testing, multi-tenant DR and compliance.
What EasyStack DR delivers
DR plans eliminate manual runbooks. Administrators define recovery scenarios in advance — specifying which workloads to recover, in what order, and with what network and resource mappings. When disaster strikes, recovery is a single click.
EasyStack DR supports non-disruptive DR testing. Administrators can run failover scenarios in an isolated environment without affecting production. Test results validate the DR plan, network mappings, and recovery time, ensuring readiness before a real disaster.

EasyStack DR eliminates the need for dedicated DR hardware and standby infrastructure. The DR site can run on the same EasyStack platform as production, with resources provisioned on demand during failover. This reduces capital expenditure and operational overhead.
Automated failover and predefined DR plans reduce the risk of human error during a crisis. Non-disruptive testing ensures DR plans are validated and ready. Compliance with sovereignty requirements avoids regulatory penalties.
Self-service DR testing and orchestrated failover enable IT teams to respond quickly to business continuity requirements. Multi-tenant DR enables cloud providers to offer DR as a value-added service.
Disaster recovery is not optional—it is a strategic requirement for private cloud, sovereign cloud, and AI infrastructure. EasyStack DR Solution provides automated, orchestrated protection for ECF, ECNF, and EAF workloads from a single control plane.
In an era where business continuity is non-negotiable, EasyStack DR is the reliable foundation for enterprise disaster recovery.
