There is no doubt that Jenzabar has evolved over the years, and in this article, we will look at Jenzabar’s evolution into a multi-product platform.

Jenzabar’s Cloud Evolution
Jenzabar researched the products and services of the top international cloud service providers before settling on IBM Cloud. All the elements critical to making IBM Cloud its first option have stayed in place, including the IBM methodology, delivery system, client interface, and ability to scale.
Jenzabar is now transitioning its client environments to a private VMware vSphere virtualization infrastructure operating on IBM Cloud bare metal servers to increase resilience and flexibility.
Clients also have access to an extremely quick recovery system that uses a second data center as part of our standard service. We are building up site-to-site replication across the IBM Cloud with VMware Site Recovery Manager.
The additional security and privacy benefits of being hosted in a completely private cloud are available to our clients without increasing their expenses, thanks to our new strategy on IBM Cloud bare metal servers.
Jenzabar can provide great performance and resilience for data and applications by utilizing numerous high-speed connections. Jenzabar provides IBM Cloud Direct Link, enabling clients to establish private connections between their remote network environments and their IBM Cloud deployments to enable hybrid workloads for the highest standards in throughput, security, and low latency.
For its clients’ ERP systems, Jenzabar continues to use IBM Cloud Block Storage and IBM Cloud File Storage to store live and backed-up data. The business employs these IBM Cloud functionalities through its Managed Services subsidiary to offer clients backup as a service.
Whether they employ Jenzabar’s SIS solutions, educational institutions use the service to back up and recover all systems, from on-premise servers and workstations to executive laptops.
Because offsite backup and retention are essential in defending against crypto-locker and ransomware software, the cloud is projected as a backup-as-a-service to anyone in higher education as part of a cyber-security offering.
Jenzabar can restore any client’s workloads to fresh VMware virtual machines on IBM Cloud because it backs up by taking whole system pictures. This offers clients a full disaster recovery as a service option.
This service is especially advantageous in the price-constrained higher education sector because clients no longer need to maintain duplicate on-premise gear that may never be used.
