The Geminare solution, available as an enablement program for HP partners and through the HP CloudSystem Ready program, allows channel partners to make the transition to a Recovery as a Service model rapidly, shedding the costly, dated, and legacy build-it approach to DR/BC along the way and to evolve into value-added Service Providers immediately.
