App detail

Direct peers

• Zerto (a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company): Provider of cloud data management and disaster-recovery orchestration software widely deployed for site-to-site and cloud-to-cloud DR — overlapping the recovery/orchestration layer of Sungard's stack.
• TierPoint: US-headquartered provider of colocation, managed hosting, cloud, and BCDR services with multiple Tier III data centres and dedicated DR/availability offerings — competes head-to-head with Sungard's traditional on-premise and managed DR business.
• SunGard Availability Services: US parent/affiliate offering the same managed availability, DR, and infrastructure services under the same brand. Directly comparable in service mix, customer base (enterprise/regulated), and go-to-market.
• iland (now 11:11 Systems): Specialist DRaaS and secure cloud infrastructure provider focused on enterprise BCDR, backup, and hosted private cloud — directly comparable managed DRaaS value proposition and customer profile.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Azure Site Recovery: Native cloud DR orchestration and replication service embedded in Microsoft Azure — competes for the recovery portion of Sungard's portfolio, particularly with UK enterprises standardising on Microsoft cloud.
• Veeam Software: Major backup and DR software vendor with broad enterprise reach and a growing BCDR platform; competes with Sungard's recovery services via partner-delivered managed BCDR offerings.
• AWS Disaster Recovery (CloudEndure / AWS DRS): Hyperscaler-native DR services providing failover, replication, and recovery at global scale — increasingly substituting for traditional third-party DR providers like Sungard and a key competitor for net-new DR spend.
• IBM Technology — Business Continuity & Resiliency Services: Global systems integrator and DR/resiliency services provider offering enterprise-grade BCDR consulting, managed recovery, and cyber resilience — historically adjacent to Sungard AS and a frequent competitor for large UK enterprise contracts.

Emerging players

• Datto (SIRIS / BCDR appliances): BCDR appliance and cloud-recovery platform focused on SMB and mid-market via MSP channel — adjacent customer profile to Sungard's enterprise/mid-market base and a partner-threat for managed-service-led go-to-market.
• Continuity Software: Specialist in DR testing, simulation, and compliance reporting for enterprise storage and virtual environments — overlaps with Sungard's DR-testing/resilience consulting services at the assurance layer.
