INFRASCALE BACKUP & DISASTER RECOVERY – DIRECT
Cloud-First Disaster Recovery for Windows Servers. No Appliances. No Delays.
Protect critical Windows servers and workstations with full-image backup and instant cloud recovery. IBDR Direct delivers rapid disaster recovery without on-prem hardware—so you stay resilient, flexible, and ready when outages strike.
HYBRID CLOUD BACKUP & CLOUD-FIRST DISASTER RECOVERY - WITHOUT APPLIANCES
Meet continuity requirements and recover faster with IBDR Direct
Unexpected outages caused by hardware failure, ransomware, human error, or site disruptions can bring operations to a halt. Traditional DR solutions rely on appliances that slow deployment and increase cost and complexity.
IBDR Direct removes those barriers.
It delivers full-system image backup and rapid disaster recovery directly from the cloud—no appliances to quote, ship, or manage—so recovery happens in minutes, not hours.

How it Works
IBDR-Direct delivers cloud-first backup and disaster recovery through a simple, agent-based workflow—eliminating the need for on-premises appliances.
There are three components to the solution:
Endpoint Protection Agent
A lightweight agent installed on Windows servers and workstations to capture full-system image backups—including OS, applications, settings, and data—without requiring any on-premises appliance.
Infrascale Cloud Storage & Compute
The secure cloud target for all backup data and disaster recovery operations. Backups are replicated directly to the Infrascale Cloud, where protected systems are always ready for rapid cloud failover and recovery.
Infrascale Dashboard
A centralized, web-based management console for configuration, monitoring, backup verification, and recovery operations across all protected devices.
