SMARTER Disaster Recovery FoR SQL Server
Build More SQL Server Disaster Recovery Business with StandbyMP
Create new SQL Server DR revenue, strengthen your differentiation and build repeatable services around implementation, testing and ongoing management, all with a platform designed to scale across customer environments.
Differentiate your SQL Server services, create more value from every DR opportunity and build a more profitable, repeatable practice.
Build a More Scalable SQL Server DR Practice
Managing SQL Server Disaster Recovery at Scale is the Challenge.
SQL Server gives you several ways to build disaster recovery, from backups and Log Shipping through to Availability Groups. The challenge for Partners and MSPs comes when those approaches need to be managed consistently across multiple databases, customers and environments. Manual processes multiply, monitoring becomes fragmented, testing takes more effort and specialist knowledge can become concentrated in a few people.
StandbyMP gives you a more structured way to deliver SQL Server DR at scale, with centralised management, monitoring, guided workflows, multi-database actions, CLI and API integrations. That helps reduce repetitive administration, standardise delivery and improve operational efficiency across your customer base.
For partners, this makes it easier to standardise delivery, support more customer environments and build profitable services around DR assessments, deployment, testing and ongoing management.
Scale Your Managed DR Services
Managing Log Shipping database by database becomes harder as customer environments grow.
StandbyMP brings multiple databases into a central management platform with monitoring, alerting, guided workflows and multi-database actions. That means less repetitive administration and a more repeatable service your team can deliver across multiple customers.
Partner opportunity: Offer a unique solution that gives you customers better protection, and allows you to supports more databases without scaling specialist resource at the same rate.

Create More Opportunities from exisiting Customers
Many SQL Server customers are still relying on backups or Log Shipping that no longer meet their recovery expectations.
StandbyMP gives you a natural reason to reopen the DR conversation, creating new opportunities around DR assessments, implementation, testing and ongoing managed services.
Partner opportunity: Turn existing DR challenges into new revenue.

Stand out from the Crowd with StandbyMP
StandbyMP can help you create new revenue streams around DR assessments, implementation, testing, monitoring and managed services, while giving your customers an alternative to more complex or expensive approaches. For MSPs, that creates a differentiated SQL Server DR offering that is easier to package, repeat and scale.
Partner opportunity: Differentiate your SQL Server offering and create new service revenue.
CLI & API Built for Partners to Scale
For Partners and MSPs, efficiency depends on being able to standardise and automate repeatable tasks across multiple customer environments.
StandbyMP’s multi-platform CLI and API give your team granular control while making it easier to integrate disaster recovery into existing tooling, scripts and operational workflows. That means less manual administration, more consistent service delivery and a scalable way to manage DR across growing numbers of customers and databases.
Next Step
Lets Talk Through the Opportunity
Not every SQL Server environment needs the same DR approach. Luis Celis, Partner Ecosystem Manager at Dbvisit, can work with you to understand the customers and environments you support, where current DR processes may be creating risk or operational overhead, and where StandbyMP could add value.
The conversation is designed to be practical and consultative — looking at your existing services, SQL Server editions, recovery requirements and delivery model to identify where StandbyMP is a good fit, where it may not be, and how it could support a more scalable DR offering for your business.

Log Shipping
Comparison to Log Shipping
Built-in Log Shipping lacks the features modern DBAs expect, and can be challenging to maintain and troubleshoot. Get Enterprise-class DR with all the functionality of Enterprise AGs without the complexity or cost.
- Faster, more efficient creation: Create standby databases across multiple instances in just a few clicks.
- Improved functionality: Built-in pre-checks detect issues before configuration creation, not after, saving time and your patience!
- Simplify Maintenance Tasks: Switch to Read Only mode in a single click, or facilitate patching and DR Tests with zero-data-loss graceful switchovers.
- Automate Failover: A fully-featured Observer utility that can automate failover, and run specific scripts after failover.
- Enhanced Usability: Streamlined and repeatable, StandyMP ensures any member of the team can initiate a failover as required while following best practice.
AVAILABILITY GROUPS
Comparison to Basic AGs
- Meet your RTO/RPO requirements with a continuously verified standby database that is always available and ready to take over the moment you need it.
- Easy to implement with wide SQL Server version support and no requirement to set up clustering.
- Speed up with multi-database actions, guided workflows, and one-click actions.
- Simplify with automated standby creation, automated failover, and user replication.
- Do more with zero-data-loss planned switchovers, read-only access and more.
- Improve resilience with multiple standby databases and one-click issue resolutions.
- Remove complexity and risk by managing your DR from an intuitive central console.
How it works
A simple implementation consists of one primary database and one standby database.
- Creation: One or more standby databases are efficiently created.
- Synchronization: StandbyMP synchronizes the databases by compressing, sending, and applying logs to the standby(s). Frequency of log transmission can be set to meet your RPO objectives.
- Monitoring: Real-time monitoring identifies exceptions and sends alert notifications.
- Failover: Failover can be initiated automatically or with a single click. Database failover completes within a few minutes.

Graceful Switchovers
Zero data loss planned switchovers enable easy migrations and testing.

Cloud Ready
Easy to configure on premise, hybrid, or in the cloud. Supporting Azure, AWS and private clouds.

One-click Resynchronization
Automated resynchronization removes the risk of being unprotected as a manual rebuild is performed.
Log Shipping is great when it works but, when it breaks it’s such a headache and you usually have to just start over. StandbyMP manages DR so much better – now it’s not just a case of looking back at notes from last year and trying to understand what was done. While being based on Log Shipping, Standby is overall a far superior solution for SQL Server DR.
