USE CASE

The Last Mile In Digital
Transformation Is Here
Cloud consumption promises lower costs,
higher availability, and better security. Yet
deployment risks, migration risks, anddoubts about cloud reliability are hindering its
adoption. Business managers are concerned
about the safety of their mission-criticalprocesses, applications, and data.
ZeroDown Software™ from ZeroNines
Technology, Inc. virtually eliminates the risksof migrating to the cloud. It uses patented
Always Available™ technology to protect
applications and data hosted on multiple cloudinstances from downtime. ZeroDown Software
provides a seamless application migration
experience into the cloud ecosystem; beit Public, Private, Hybrid or Multi-Cloudconfigurations.

distributed environments in an “Active-Active”
configuration providing more than five 9’s ofapplication availability.
And the most coveted feature is in the
CloudNines™ functionality, which enables
one or more cloud instances simultaneously
processing the same transactions and hosting
the same applications in multiple zones.
ZeroNines technology can bring application
availability in the cloud up to virtually 100%.

Use Case:
A Nationwide EnterpriseThis hypothetical use case outlines how
a large organization could use ZeroDown
Software to facilitate a migration to the cloud
and to subsequently protect its applications
and data from outages and downtime.

The Application Migration as a Service™
feature addresses the most challenging
element of a cloud strategy; moving yourapplications to the cloud without impacting
availability during the migration exercise.

This representative company is headquarteredin the southern United States and sells
products and services nationwide. It manages
much of its technology in-house to control
quality and efficiency, and also relies uponsome key third-party SaaS applications. Theentire system must always be available so
it can serve customers and partners 24/7.
Hurricanes are a common threat, having
caused significant downtime in the past.

With the Business Continuity as a Service™
functionality, your Web-enabled applications
can run synchronously in geographically

The company has determined that to cut
costs and remain competitive, it should
move applications and data to the cloud. But

The ZeroDown Software Suite provides thenext generation of Application Availability andBusiness Continuity with 3 key components:

perceived problems with cloud reliability havedelayed this change. A failed initial migration
to the cloud or downtime caused by a future
cloud outage would be disastrously expensive.

ZeroNines Technology as
an Enabling Factor
ZeroDown Software uses ZeroNines
Technology to make it possible for enterprises
to migrate confidently to the cloud because it
addresses and overcomes the cloud’s weakest
points: migration risk and long-term reliability.
Migration to the cloud is made far safer
because one or more cloud instances canbe methodically brought online while legacy
systems continue to process as usual.
Similarly, downtime is virtually eliminatedin the event of storms, hardware failure,
software failure, power outages, and otherdisasters that would ordinarily block
applications and data.

Benefits of ZERODOWN Software:> Reduced risk when deploying businesscritical applications to the cloud> Safe, simple and seamless migration

to the cloud> Significantly greater cloud reliability

ZeroDown Software offers
Easy, Methodical, and Safe
Cloud Migration> Virtually eliminates business losses

With ZeroDown Software, applications and data
will still be available via the company’s two cloudinstances even if a storm completely wipes out
the Primary data center. Likewise, if a cloudinstance gets knocked offline for any reason,
the Primary and the other cloud instance willcontinue to operate.

The company’s in-house Primary network
was hosted at a nearby third-party colocation
facility. Upon instigating the move to the cloud,the Primary was copied and migrated to two
distinct cloud nodes at a major cloud service
provider. Cloud migration took place in preplanned stages, utilizing the ZeroDown Software
CloudNines product by ZeroNines to build firstone cloud node and then another. The Primarycontinued in operation at the colocation facility.

third party recovery, and failover

Performance Benefits and Effects
The overall benefit of ZeroNines and its Always
Available™ technology is the virtual eliminationof application downtime.

During Cloud Migration
There is no one-time, do-or-die switch to thecloud, where problems with application startup
or integration can knock the business offline.

The first cloud node was created, tested, andbrought online once it was proven to be stable.
The process was then repeated on the othercloud node. CloudNines provides parallel
processing between the two cloud instances
and the Primary. If problems had occurred
during one of the migrations, the otherinstances would have continued processing
with no interruption to applications or data.

During Maintenance and Upgrades
There is no need to take the business offline
for maintenance, repair, and upgrade. Always
Available enables any application or machine
to be taken out of the array for maintenance orrepair, and be reinstated only when it’s ready.

A New Approach to Availability

During a Disaster

The company’s former disaster recovery
plan utilized scheduled database backups on
key applications, reversion to development
machines, and a failover system. However, when
the last hurricane knocked out power at their
Primary colocation facility, they experienced 48
hours of downtime when applications anddata failed to load properly at the third-party
disaster recovery location.

The same paradigm enables full uptime during
disasters such as hardware failure, software
failure, earthquakes, fires, storms, and power
outages.

Economic Benefits
Maintaining business continuity during and aftercloud migration maintains the revenue stream
and cuts costs.

> Helps maintain regulatory compliance> Maintains and increases shareholder value
