), the leader in cloud-native disaster recovery with ransomware protection, 
today announced that The University of Auckland in New Zealand has selected 
Datrium DVX and Datrium DRaaS with VMware Cloud on AWS solutions to modernize 
its infrastructure by leveraging the cloud and unifying compute, storage, 
backup and disaster recovery (DR). Challenged with aging infrastructure and an 
expensive and complex data center environment, the University's infrastructure 
services team, supported by its Premier Partner, BEarena, an ASI Solutions 
company, chose Datrium for its cost-effective, easy-to-manage, VMware-centric 
solutions with built-in data resiliency and powerful DR capabilities. Datrium 
DRaaS with VMware Cloud on AWS offers flexible and scalable on-demand cloud DR 
with instant Recovery Time Objective (RTO), easy failover and failback without 
requiring VM conversions.

As New Zealand's leading university, The University of Auckland manages two 
large-scale data centers that serve 40,000 students and over 5,000 staff with a 
core value of conserving, advancing and disseminating knowledge at a high 
standard through teaching, learning, research and creative work. As part of its 
digital transformation strategy, the infrastructure services team is embracing 
its agile operation model to deliver better outcomes to its users.

"As part of our digital transformation efforts, we're modernizing critical 
infrastructure including our data centers to empower our IT team to work more 
efficiently," said Sanit Kumar, Infrastructure Services Portfolio Manager 
(ISPM) - Cloud, Network and Datacentre Services at The University of Auckland. 
"Datrium checked all our boxes. We were looking for a simplified solution that 
combines compute, storage, backup and disaster recovery, and aligns with VMware 
so we no longer require separate storage, VMware and backup teams. The power of 
Datrium's converged approach and on-demand disaster recovery to VMware Cloud on 
AWS and instant RTO capability also brings our team major cost savings."

The University of Auckland was introduced to Datrium technology by BEarena, an 
ASI Solutions company. BEarena and ASI Solutions have applied their 
market-leading hyperconverged experience to Datrium technology to help their 
customers reduce cost, simplify management and move to a hybrid cloud model.

"Rather than provide the University a like-for-like replacement, we scoured the 
market for the best solution to achieve their business objectives. Ultimately, 
Datrium helped the University collapse three infrastructure silos into a single 
cross-functional team that uses automated management so they can focus on 
strategic priorities," said Country Manager Lloyd Vickery.  "Datrium has 
exceeded our expectations in every area—blazing performance, dramatic total 
cost of ownership improvements, world-class support, consolidated 
management—and the list goes on. I couldn't be happier with Datrium and more 
proud that we are supporting The University of Auckland in continuing its 
achievements as a world-leading university."

BEarena and ASI Solutions are the first Datrium DRaaS Select (

) resellers to achieve the highest level of partnership in the region. As 
Datrium's first partner in ANZ and exclusive DRaaS Select partners and 
resellers, BEarena and ASI Solutions deliver significant cost savings, advanced 
operational intelligence, faster deployment times and simplified DR solutions 
to their customers. Lloyd Vickery is also the first Datrium DVX Certified 
Deployment professional in the world; achieving this distinction entails the 
completion of a rigorous curriculum and passing a certification test. BEarena 
and ASI Solutions customers benefit from working with highly skilled 
professionals in the deployment of Datrium to ensure they receive the fastest 
ROI and best customer experience.

Nathan Lowe, Managing Director of ASI Solutions added, "ASI Solutions is 
extremely excited to be working with Datrium. An innovative company that is 
transforming data lifecycle management through a single powerful platform 
delivering speed, agility and efficiency, Datrium allows our customers to focus 
on strategic initiatives."

Datrium DRaaS with VMware Cloud on AWS is a new approach to DR and offers a 
cloud-native design, built-in backup, instant RTO, continuous compliance and an 
on-demand pay-as-you-go model. Datrium DRaaS allows organizations to make the 
cloud their DR site at a fraction of the cost of a second data center. When 
combined with Datrium DVX software, organizations get the fastest recovery time 
and simplified data management capabilities.

"Given the enormous rise in ransomware attacks and other disasters, a modern 
approach to DR is critical. However, it doesn't need to be an expensive, 
complicated and unreliable process," said Datrium CEO Tim Page. "With our 
on-demand cloud resources, The University of Auckland will be able to recover 
from a disaster quickly while keeping cloud costs low. We look forward to 
helping the University transition to cloud DR and supporting its on-premises 
infrastructure requirements."

About Datrium
Datrium, the leader in cloud-native disaster recovery with ransomware 
protection, automates data protection against modern threats and enables 
enterprises to pay for DR when they need it. Datrium Disaster Recovery as a 
Service with VMware Cloud on AWS (DRaaS) is an easy-to-use SaaS solution that 
delivers the industry's first instant RTO cloud DR from backups on AWS S3 and 
protects all VMware workloads in the cloud and on-premises. Secure by design 
with always-on encryption, Datrium's DR with built-in cloud backup is 
transforming the DR market, empowering enterprises to create their own 
failproof, on-demand data centers in the public cloud where they only pay for 
recovery when disaster strikes or for testing. Until now, DR has been a 
complicated and brittle manual process that needs to interact with many 
disparate components in the data center. The advent of the cloud has made it 
possible for Datrium to convert this complex process into a simple-to-use, 
fully automated SaaS application that delivers 10x more cost-efficient DR. By 
converging primary, backup, disaster recovery, mobility and encryption into a 
single multicloud platform called Automatrix(TM), Datrium maintains fast 
performance at any scale and enables frictionless data portability between 
public clouds and on-premises data centers. Data services are consistent across 
clouds and resource orchestration is automated so applications run at peak 
performance with increased system resilience and reduced data recovery windows. 
Liberated from managing data infrastructure, IT teams can drive more strategic 
initiatives for their businesses and application users can get back to 
productivity faster. Trusted by global enterprises including eMeter – A Siemens 
Business, vPay(R) and Stearns, Datrium is DR done right.(TM)
