Disaster Recovery
Your job is clear: keep critical business data available 24/7. You bear the responsibility of safeguarding your organization's information against every possible threat - hardware failures, cyberattacks, and unforeseen disasters. For more than a decade, we've been protecting organizations like yours with Superna Disaster Recovery (DR) Edition. Designed for cyberstorage, it automates failover, streamlines configuration replication, and constantly validates your DR readiness. With Superna, you can be ready when the unexpected strikes.
Robust Solutions for Business Continuity and High Availability​
Achieving true business continuity requires more than traditional backup or replication— it demands an end-to-end disaster recovery strategy that safeguards data integrity and availability.
Superna DR Edition brings together cyberstorage principles and automated failover workflows to minimize downtime and keep your critical operations running. With broad platform support and enterprise-grade capabilities, our solution helps you meet stringent RTO and RPO targets while aligning with broader enterprise risk management practices.
Superna DR Edition powers incident response and integrates into your larger cybersecurity action plan, ensuring that business-critical unstructured data remains protected and ready for seamless recovery.

Explore the capabilities of Superna DR and see how it empowers your organization to reduce downtime, automate recovery workflows, and ensure continuous data protection across a variety of environments. Expand each section below to learn more about how Superna DR Edition can help safeguard your unstructured data and streamline your disaster recovery strategy.
Configuration Replication
Sync Critical Data & Metadata: Beyond replicating files, Superna DR Edition captures shares/exports, permissions, quotas, and other configuration details.
Automated Configuration Sync: Keeps storage environments aligned, ensuring that essential settings—like Active Directory integration or SMB/NFS properties—are replicated without manual intervention.
DR Readiness and Monitoring
Continuous Validation: Over 30 automated checks (e.g., data sync status, configuration parity) run between production and DR clusters.
Real-Time Alerts & Dashboards: Customizable notifications help you rapidly identify and resolve issues before they become business-impacting.
Proactive Health Checks: Quickly spot potential bottlenecks or misconfigurations that could impede failover.
Automated Failover and Orchestration
One-Button Failover: Streamline the entire failover process for SMB, NFS, or both—minimizing user disruption.
Granular Scope: Fail over an entire cluster or just selected shares/exports.
Fast RTO/RPO: By automating DR workflows and capturing all necessary metadata, Superna DR Edition drastically reduces recovery time and data loss.
Non-Disruptive Testing & Reporting
Simulated Failover: Run test scenarios in isolation to validate DR plans and ensure readiness without affecting production.
Compliance & Audit Trails: Generate detailed RTO/RPO and configuration reports for audits, stakeholders, and regulatory bodies.
Version Integrity Checks: Validate that replicated data versions match your desired state across environments.
Flexibility & Scalability
Supports Various Deployment Models: Hot/Cold, Hot/Hot, and hybrid cloud scenarios to accommodate different business continuity objectives.
Scalable Architecture: Manage a few clusters or dozens under a single DR management framework.
Lightweight Virtual Appliance: Deploy quickly to your virtual environment, reducing infrastructure overhead.
Third-Party Integrations
ServiceNow & Webhooks: Automate notifications, ticketing, and workflows for improved incident response.
VMware Ecosystem: Streamlined deployment and monitoring in virtualized environments.
Open REST APIs: Extend and tailor DR workflows to custom applications or orchestration tools.
Aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0​
Superna DR Edition helps you close the gaps in your organization’s disaster recovery posture.
-
Identify: Automated inventory and discovery of clusters, shares, exports, and policies help you maintain an accurate view of all critical assets.
-
Protect: Replication and near-real-time validations safeguard both the data and configuration settings, reinforcing your cyberstorage posture.
-
Detect: Continuous DR readiness monitoring flags anomalies or misalignments before they jeopardize recovery.
-
Respond: Seamless failover orchestration and integrations with platforms like ServiceNow let you act quickly and coordinate incident response efforts.
-
Recover: Built-in failover testing and reporting ensure that you can bounce back from an incident—meeting or exceeding your RTO/RPO targets.
