Hi, my name is Stefan Voss, VP of Product Management for Cove Data Protection here at Enable. Cove's foundation is data security, technician efficiency, and recovery confidence. Cove's DRAS, or Disaster Recovery as a Service, is just a natural extension. We've kept the standard of a great technician experience. It's just four-click setup, streamlined testing, simple failover, fast, flexible failback. But the real outcome is delivering true business resilience and peace of mind for IT teams. So Cove DRAS essentially maintains a standby image in our cloud. So the difference to standby image is you don't have to bring your own infrastructure or disaster recovery site. It runs in our infrastructure. And then you can access it through a VPN tunnel securely for a variety of failover scenarios. Cove DRAS would support several failover modes if you want to look at it this way. One is kind of like a planned or unplanned failover, right? So one could be just a test failover, and the other one could be the real deal. And when it happens to the real deal, the actual failover, it probably is a good idea to call support because you can in parallel work with our support to restore back into production while you have access to the machine. Recovery shouldn't be stressful. With Cove's Disaster Recovery Service, testing is easy, failover is simple, and failback isn't scary. Flexibility is built in. Recovery adapts to real-world situations and doesn't break under pressure. And that makes everyone rest easier. Cyber recovery is, of course, that incident that we are worried about the most, generally speaking. I mean, there is natural disasters and so forth, we all know. And in this case, you can't normally just recover back into production. Of course, time is of the essence, but doing a safe recovery in a clean room and using DRAS essentially as your clean room and the copies already there is really, really powerful. Because we're talking about business resilience, which ultimately means you need to bring your business-critical server back into production. So in today's world, cyber recovery is no longer optional. You have to be prepared. So Cove Disaster Recovery Service, it supports isolation, investigation, forensics, and clean recovery when attacks happen. Resilience means you're prepared for threats you haven't seen yet and having the confidence and your ability to recover no matter what the scenario. Cove's Disaster Recovery Service removes infrastructure management and the think time from technician's plates. The less time and less overhead means more time delivering true customer value, scaling your services, growing your business without adding additional labor costs. So as NMSP, it really helps me sort of beef up my business resilience services, which is monetizable. So there we have an instance where we can actually get higher revenue, greater profits. And then of course, because this is a co-managed situation, we're able to also look quite attractive from a margin perspective. Look, we will do this at scale. And so therefore, as an MSP, I can now tap into this operational scale and benefit from it. This is what we would call co-managed. In this case, it's really you manage the data protection outcome, but we actually come to support to deliver that piece of Disaster Recovery as a Service. Disaster Recovery shouldn't feel like a hardware project. I mean, it used to, but it doesn't need to anymore. Cove Disaster Recovery as a Service delivers enterprise-grade recovery without the burden. Disaster Recovery as a Service delivers enterprise-grade recovery without the burden. So in the moments that matter most, you get business resilient outcomes, not complexity.

FAQ

What infrastructure do MSPs need to provide for N-able Cove DRaaS?

MSPs don't need to provide any disaster recovery infrastructure. Cove DRaaS runs entirely in N-able's cloud infrastructure, with standby images maintained by the vendor. MSPs only need to configure the four-click setup and manage customer relationships.

Cove DRaaS functions as a clean room environment where MSPs can isolate compromised systems, conduct forensics, and perform safe recovery without restoring directly back into potentially infected production environments. Support teams can assist with parallel restoration workflows during active incidents.
