New offering enables rapid failover and reduces recovery complexity—furthering business resilience outcomes
N-able, Inc. , a global cybersecurity company delivering business resilience, announced the expansion of Cove Data Protection with a new co-managed Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) offering. The new capability enables organizations to rapidly recover from cyber incidents and site failures, without the cost, complexity, or risk of building and managing their own disaster recovery environments.

As cyberattacks continue to rise and increasingly target backup and recovery systems, organizations are rethinking how they approach resilience. Downtime is no longer acceptable, and traditional recovery models—often dependent on a self-hosted infrastructure—can leave businesses exposed during critical moments.
Cove DRaaS delivers a proactive recovery model, allowing organizations to mirror production workloads in N-able’s secure, cloud-hosted environment, ready to failover to when disaster strikes.
“PCS had been using a mix of third-party tools for disaster recovery, solutions that worked, but were often complex and time consuming to set up and manage. After trialling Cove DRaaS, the difference was immediately clear. The process is far more streamlined and intuitive, freeing up our team to spend more time supporting customers rather than managing infrastructure,” said Scott Hawkey, Technical Director at PCS. “Cove DRaaS strikes a strong balance between simplicity and capability, making enterprise-grade disaster recovery more accessible and strengthening overall data recovery and business resilience.”
Unlike traditional approaches that rely on restoring systems after an incident, Cove DRaaS maintains pre-staged virtual servers in the N-able cloud, enabling organizations to:
- Rapidly fail over to clean, secure environments during cyber incidents.
- Maintain business continuity while quarantining and remediating affected systems.
- Minimize downtime, where even minutes of disruption can impact revenue.
The new co-managed offering reflects the growing demand for vendor-managed disaster recovery (DR) solutions as IT and security teams face increasing costs, complexity, and resource constraints.
By removing the need to build and maintain a dedicated DR infrastructure, Cove DRaaS addresses common challenges such as unpredictable cloud costs, limited inhouse expertise, and the ongoing operational burden of managing recovery environments. Businesses can deliver DR as a premium service without managing the underlying infrastructure, while IT teams benefit from predictable pricing and simplified operations.
The service also allows organizations to choose what workloads they protect, providing flexibility and cost control. Organizations can maintain continuity in the case of disruption by enabling secure, rapid recovery in a vendor-managed cloud, and move beyond backup to true operational resilience.
“Downtime and data loss are no longer acceptable risks, especially as cyberattacks continue to target production and backup environments,” said Chris Groot, General Manager, Cove Data Protection at N-able. “With Cove DRaaS, we’re providing MSPs and IT teams with a secure, cloud-hosted recovery environment that enables rapid failover when it matters most – without the cost, complexity, or risk of building and managing DR infrastructure themselves. It’s about helping our partners protect revenue, restore operations quickly, and deliver true data resilience for their customers.”
