Otava is a secure multi-cloud provider offering hybrid and private cloud, managed Azure, backup and disaster recovery, colocation and security. Its positioning is a tailored, people-centered alternative to one-size-fits-all cloud: it says it takes time to understand a business and design a hybrid strategy around it rather than selling a standard product. The portfolio covers the whole stack, infrastructure to run workloads, data protection to keep them recoverable, colocation for hardware, and security across it, with professional services to design and support the setup. Much of the data-protection side is built on established technology partners. For a buyer, Otava is a single provider for a customized multi-cloud environment with the protection and colocation around it.

Best for

  • Companies that want a hybrid or multi-cloud environment designed to their needs rather than a standardized public-cloud package.
  • Organizations that want managed Microsoft Azure run for them alongside a provider's own cloud.
  • Businesses that need backup, disaster recovery and Microsoft 365 data protection managed as a service.
  • Companies that want cloud, colocation and security from one provider with hands-on professional services.

A company comfortable self-serving on a single public cloud, with its own staff to run it, is a different buyer than Otava's tailored, managed model targets.

What they offer

Cloud and IaaS. Otava Cloud provides hybrid and private cloud built to a customer's needs, and a managed Azure service runs Microsoft's public cloud for the customer, with professional services to design and support the environment.

Backup and Disaster Recovery. A business resiliency suite of cloud data protection, disaster recovery and Microsoft 365 backup, aimed at compliance, continuity and recovery.

Colocation. Colocation space in Otava's data centers for companies that want to place hardware alongside their cloud.

Managed Security. Advanced security services applied across the hosted environment.

Proof

Customer stories Otava has published, told here without the customer's name.

A global plant-based food manufacturer with about 760 employees across 15 countries. Facing a hardware refresh and a data-center contract renewal, it moved its on-premises SAP to a managed Azure environment run by Otava, which handled the migration of all workloads and now manages the Azure environment with its governance and compliance controls.

A logistics and distribution company with sharp seasonal shipping peaks and a lean IT team. It moved to Otava's managed private cloud with cloud backup and disaster-recovery-as-a-service, giving tested failover and recovery for the 20 servers that run its shipping and billing before its busiest season.

An automotive paint-finishing systems supplier that had to prove it met the auto industry's third-party information-security requirements to keep serving major carmakers. It moved to Otava cloud backup and data-protection-as-a-service for fast, reliable recovery that can pinpoint and restore project work within about fifteen minutes of an outage.

Good to know

  • Otava's pitch is a customized, consultative approach, so expect a design conversation rather than an off-the-shelf plan. Confirm what its professional services cover.
  • Its data-protection and cloud services lean on named technology partners. Ask which platform underpins the specific service you are buying and who supports it.
  • Product names here are the company's own material.

How buying works

The store is the easy part. Staying on the account is the job.

Anyone can show you logos. The reason to buy here is what happens on install night, and on the ticket you open nine months later.
