Acronis Cyber Disaster Recovery Cloud vs Dbvisit Standby MultiPlatform

Acronis Cyber Disaster Recovery Cloud provides disaster recovery as a service, launching recovery servers at a secondary site after a natural or man-made disaster. Recovery infrastructure can be managed in Acronis Cloud, Microsoft Azure or a hybrid setup. It supports production failover and automated test failover, including scheduled monthly server tests, while runbooks define steps for starting a client’s production environment in the cloud. The service can extend up to 23 local networks through a secure VPN tunnel or connect in cloud-only mode without a VPN appliance. Listed workloads include Windows Server, Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, Active Directory, major Linux distributions, and several virtualization platforms. Acronis says clean recovery points can help prevent ransomware reinfection. Cloud servers consume compute points according to configured flavor even when powered off; recovery servers in Standby do not. If the compute-points quota overage is reached, primary and recovery servers shut down. There is no free plan; a 30-day trial is available. Pricing depends on usage and licensing, with no dollar price listed.

Dbvisit Standby MultiPlatform, also called StandbyMP, manages standby database creation, synchronization and activation for disaster recovery with Oracle, SQL Server and PostgreSQL. A shared control center brings configurations across the supported platforms together, and the product can be managed through a user interface or CLI/API. Recovery features include one-click graceful switchovers, automatic or guided failover, cascading standby support, reporting, real-time monitoring and smart notifications. Its unified CLI and API support remote control and integration with third-party tools or software suites. The Oracle SE trial includes the Zero Data Loss option, which Dbvisit describes as continuous redo streaming for sub-second RPO. StandbyMP can be installed in on-premises and cloud environments, but it requires an underlying operating system; AWS RDS and OCI Autonomous Databases are unsupported. It supports Linux and 64-bit Windows, subject to certified operating system and database combinations. Cross-platform replication is unsupported except for SQL Server. Licensing is separate by platform and counted per Oracle database, SQL Server instance or PostgreSQL cluster. The full trial lasts 10 days, with a possible extension to 20 days by contacting support. Pricing is available on request.
