Disaster Recovery as a Service – DRaaS

Continuous incremental replication of your virtual machines to Bamboozle Cloud Engine. When disaster strikes — or when you want to test — boot the replica in minutes. No agents. No disruption. No surprises.

Key Capabilities

What It Does

Everything managed by the Bamboozle team — from endpoint configuration to successful boot on Cloud Engine.

  • Continuous Incremental Replication

    Coriolis keeps replica storage in sync with your live VMs in the background — using Changed Block Tracking on VMware, Cinder snapshots on OpenStack, and equivalent mechanisms on other platforms.

  • Near-Zero RTO Failover

    When you trigger a failover, Coriolis deploys the replica on Bamboozle Cloud Engine — applying any required OS morphing, attaching NICs, and booting the VM. Target RTO: minutes, not hours.

  • Non-Disruptive DR Testing

    Boot a replica on Bamboozle at any time for integration testing, DR drills, or compliance validation. The test does not affect the live replication process or the source environment.

  • Agentless & Secure

    No agent is installed on guest VMs. No guest credentials are required. Coriolis communicates with source platforms through their public APIs over HTTPS and SSH only.

  • Cross-Hypervisor Compatibility

    Replicate from VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM-based clouds, AWS EC2, or Azure. Coriolis handles OS morphing automatically — VirtIO drivers, cloud-init, WALinuxAgent where needed.

  • Automated OS Morphing

    On failover, Coriolis automatically adapts the VM to the target platform — installing KVM VirtIO drivers on Windows VMs, configuring cloud-init on Linux, matching BIOS/UEFI firmware type.

Source Platforms

Where You Are Now

If your workloads run on any of these platforms, Coriolis can replicate them to Bamboozle Cloud Engine.

  • VMware vSphere
  • Microsoft Hyper-V
  • KVM / OpenStack
  • Amazon AWS EC2
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Azure Stack
  • Proxmox
  • oVirt / RHEV
  • Bare metal (agent)

Multi-Region DR

Replicate to Any Bamboozle Region

Coriolis runs independent replication jobs per region — a local UAE copy in Fujairah for fast recovery and a geographically separate EU copy in Vienna for compliance and catastrophic-failure scenarios, all in parallel from the same source workload.

  • Bamboozle DX1

    Dubai · Primary hub

    Equinix-grade Tier III+ facility. Primary DR target for UAE and GCC workloads. Direct IX peering at UAE-IX for low-latency recovery.

  • Bamboozle FJ1

    Fujairah · Cable landing

    Submarine cable landing site — ideal secondary for Dubai DX1. East-West traffic gateway, perfect for cross-DC failover within the UAE.

  • Bamboozle VIE2

    Vienna · EU node

    Digital Realty Tier III+ in Central Europe. GDPR-compliant DR for EU data residency requirements. Also used as a geographically distant cold standby for UAE workloads.

The Process

How It Works

Managed end-to-end by the Bamboozle team. You define what to protect — we handle the rest.

  1. Connect Source Platform

    Define your source cloud as a Coriolis endpoint — VMware vCenter credentials, AWS/Azure API keys, or OpenStack Keystone. Credentials are stored encrypted, never passed in plaintext.

  2. Select VMs to Protect

    Choose which VMs to replicate. Coriolis reads VM specs, disk layout, and network configuration automatically — no manual inventory.

  3. Initial Sync Runs

    Coriolis performs an initial full copy of VM storage to Bamboozle Cloud Engine. Subsequent syncs are incremental — only changed blocks are transferred.

  4. Continuous Replication

    Replicas stay in sync automatically on your configured schedule. Each sync is a delta — minimal bandwidth, minimal impact on source performance.

  5. Failover When Needed

    Trigger failover manually or as part of a runbook. Coriolis deploys the replica on Bamboozle, applies OS morphing, and boots the VM. Your workload is live on Bamboozle Cloud Engine.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Managed Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)?
Bamboozle Managed DRaaS is powered by Coriolis — an enterprise VM migration and replication engine. We handle continuous replication of your workloads to a secondary site, manage failover orchestration, and ensure your recovery objectives are met. If your primary environment fails, we bring your workloads online at the DR site with minimal disruption.
What are the RPO and RTO targets?
RPO (Recovery Point Objective) — how much data you can afford to lose — is typically measured in minutes for Coriolis-based replication, with near-zero RPO achievable for most workloads.

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) — how quickly workloads come back online — is typically under 15 minutes for pre-tested failover scenarios. Exact targets depend on workload complexity and are agreed during onboarding.
Which workloads are supported?
Coriolis supports a broad range of source environments including VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM, AWS EC2, and Azure VMs. Target environments are Bamboozle Cloud Engine or Bare Metal. Contact our team to confirm compatibility for your specific platform.
How is DRaaS priced?
Pricing includes three components:

• Coriolis licence — $40/VM/month
• Managed overhead — 20% added to licence cost
• Storage — $0.05/GB/month (High Performance SSD) for replicated data
• Bandwidth — standard egress rates apply to failover traffic

Use our DRaaS Calculator for a full cost breakdown.
Do you perform DR testing?
Yes. We recommend and support scheduled DR tests — failing over workloads to the DR site in an isolated environment to confirm recovery procedures work as expected, without impacting production. Test reports are provided after each exercise.
Which datacentres are available as DR targets?
Your primary site can be any Bamboozle location or your own on-premise environment. DR targets are available at:

🇦🇪 Dubai DX1 — UAE
🇦🇪 Fujairah FJ1 — UAE (geographic redundancy within UAE)
🇦🇹 Vienna VIE2 — Austria (EU geo-redundancy)

Cross-region DR between UAE and Vienna is also available for customers requiring international failover.
What happens during a failover event?
Our team monitors replication health 24/7. In the event of a declared disaster, we initiate the failover runbook — bringing replicated workloads online at the target site, updating DNS and network routing as required, and notifying your team at each stage. Failback to the primary site is managed once it's restored.
