Disaster Recovery to the AWS Cloud via the AWS Marketplace - Metering Subscription.

On January 20, 2020, we launched a new CloudEndure Disaster Recovery to AWS ‘metered listing’ on AWS Marketplace. The new listing reduces our previous license price by ~80% and enables usage-based hourly billing, as opposed to the previous ‘contracts listing’ that required an upfront commitment to a specific contract term with predefined allocated license volume. The new ‘metered listing’ bills at an hourly rate of $0.028 / server / hour (= $20.16 / server / month) for any server registered with the CloudEndure Disaster RecoveryThe CloudEndure solution that enables the recovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems in case of a crippling event. console. The new ‘metered listing’ is independent of the current ‘contracts listing’ so existing subscribers can continue to use their contracts account in parallel to subscribing to a new metered account. Going forward, please refer to the marketplace listing page for up-to-date pricing as it is subject to change.

Pricing FAQ

What is changing with CloudEndure Disaster Recovery?

As of 1/20/2020, we have launched a new CloudEndure Disaster Recovery to AWS metering listing on AWS Marketplace (AWSMP) that offers usage-based billing at a rate of $0.028/server/hour (equals $20.16/server/month), about an 80% price reduction, without any term or license volume commitments.

Why should I use the new CloudEndure Disaster Recovery to AWS metering listing?

The new metering product listing offers a ~80% savings vs. the monthly rate of the old contracts listing. In addition, it provides operational flexibility via usage-based hourly billing, vs. committing to a contract with a specific term and license volume.

How am I billed when using the new metering listing?

In contrast to the old contracts listing that charged upfront at the time of contract subscription for the entire term and license volume, the new metering listing does not charge at the time of subscription. Instead, you are only billed once agentsThe Agent is a software program that is installed on machines in the Source location that need to be migrated or replicated to the Target location. are installed and registered in the console, on an hourly basis per each registered agentThe Agent is a software program that is installed on machines in the Source location that need to be migrated or replicated to the Target location.. Hourly billing resumes as long as agentsThe Agent is a software program that is installed on machines in the Source location that need to be migrated or replicated to the Target location. are registered in console.

Note: You will be billed for any machine that has the CloudEndure Agent installed, even if the machine is in a "stopped" state in the CloudEndure User Console.

No. The new metering listing is independent from any existing CloudEndure DRThe CloudEndure solution that enables the recovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems in case of a crippling event. account, whether it was previously registered via the AWSMP or manually outside of AWSMP. Your existing account will continue to operate independently of any newly registered metering account.

Where do I sign up to the new metering listing?

Subscribe to the new AWSMP metering ‘CloudEndure Disaster RecoveryThe CloudEndure solution that enables the recovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems in case of a crippling event. to AWS’ listing here.

I am an existing user with an active contract. Can I continue to use my existing account?

You can continue to use your existing account through the end of your contract. You will not be able to renew your contract beyond its current end date, since the contract listing is now deprecated. Therefore, we recommend that you transition your usage to the new metering listing as soon as possible in order to take advantage of the greatly reduced billing and flexible hourly billing model. New customers should not subscribe to the old ‘(Deprecated) CloudEndure Disaster RecoveryThe CloudEndure solution that enables the recovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems in case of a crippling event.’ AWSMP contracts listing.

Can I upgrade my existing CloudEndure Disaster Recovery account to the new metering account?

If your account was opened using the CloudEndure Disaster Recovery AWSMP contracts listing, we plan to have a support-assisted upgrade path available by 5/1/2020. The upgrade will maintain your account configuration and replicated data. If your account was opened via a different method outside of the ‘CloudEndure Disaster RecoveryThe CloudEndure solution that enables the recovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems in case of a crippling event., AWSMP contract, your account is not upgrade-compatible.

Can I switch to the new metering listing immediately should I prefer not to wait for the upgrade path?

Yes. You can take advantage of the new listing benefits immediately by subscribing to the AWSMP metering listing using a separate email address from the one used to create your existing account. Next, you will need to reconfigure your new account, reinstall your agentsThe Agent is a software program that is installed on machines in the Source location that need to be migrated or replicated to the Target location. using the new metering account token, and restart data replication. Once replication is complete, cancel the old contract auto-renewal on your old contracts account, and remove the machines from your old CloudEndure account. CloudEndure will automatically clean up the old resources from your account. For further questions, you can open a ticket with AWS Premium Support.

My account is not upgrade-compatible. How can I switch to the new metering listing manually?

Follow the same instructions above describing how to switch to the new metering listing without an upgrade path.

I would like to take advantage of the support-assisted upgrade once available. What is the process?

If you’d like to wait for the upgrade path availability, assuming that your account is upgrade-compatible, please submit a case with AWS Premium Support to enter the upgrade queue and you will be contacted with instructions once the upgrade path is available. Until then, you may continue to use your existing account under your current contract without disruption.

My existing contract was already paid for in full and still has a remaining term. Will I be double billed for the overlapping usage duration if I switch to the new metering listing while my contract is still active?

No. To prevent double billing, contact your account manager and request that a $0 private offer is extended to you before you subscribe to the new metering listing. Once you subscribe to the private offer, you will not be billed for usage in your new metering account until the expiry date of your original contract, after which pricing will revert to the public listing rate.

What is happening to the old AWSMP contracts CloudEndure Disaster Recovery listing?

The old contracts listing is being deprecated and will be turned off for new subscribers and for future contract renewals of existing subscribers.
