Instant, secure DR connectivity: Introducing OneDeploy Secure Edge for Datto BCDR

When disaster strikes, recovery is a race against time. Every second lost to manual configuration, network routing or system provisioning adds risk to business continuity. In those critical moments, complexity is the enemy, and even small delays can lead to data loss, revenue impact and customer dissatisfaction.

At Datto, we understand how critical speed is in disaster recovery (DR). That’s why we continue to simplify and accelerate recovery workflows for MSPs like you, helping you bring your clients back online with minimal disruption. Our latest innovation, the OneDeploy Secure Edge for Datto BCDR integration, is built to eliminate recovery delays further and streamline disaster response. This powerful integration between the Datto BCDR Cloud and Datto’s SASE solution, Secure Edge, helps you get your clients back online faster, easier and more reliably than ever.

The problem: Manually configuring VPNs slows you down

In a DR scenario, while rerouting network traffic to the DR infrastructure hosted in the cloud, one of the biggest bottlenecks is manually configuring virtual private network (VPN) tunnels to connect users. Every manual step — creating OpenVPN tunnels and downloading and distributing configuration files to users — adds delays to the recovery process. These tasks are also prone to human error, especially when you’re working under stress. And when something goes wrong, you’re stuck troubleshooting connectivity issues during an outage, arguably the worst time to be chasing down config mismatches or access problems.

These challenges become even more severe in larger IT environments with more users, endpoints and complex network topologies. The result? Recovery takes longer, and your client remains offline.

The solution: Automated, one-click DR networking connectivity

The OneDeploy Secure Edge for Datto BCDR integration completely reimagines how disaster recovery connectivity should work. By eliminating the need for manual VPN configuration, this integration removes one of the biggest sources of delay during recovery.

With this feature, IT admins can now automatically connect pre-configured Secure Edge gateways to workloads virtualized in the Datto BCDR Cloud directly from the Datto Recovery Launchpad. Connection to the Secure Edge gateway is established in the same interface used to spin up servers and virtual machines (VMs) with Datto’s 1-Click Disaster Recovery, providing a smooth and familiar workflow.

With a single click, an IPsec tunnel is instantly established between the Datto BCDR Cloud and the Secure Edge virtual gateway, which is hosted in AWS. All the heavy lifting — tunnel setup, configuration and provisioning — is handled automatically in the background.

No config files, no tunnel parameters to input, no back-and-forth setup steps. Just a simple, automated connection that gets your client back online faster when every second counts.

Integration highlights: Faster, simpler, error-free recovery

Say goodbye to the tedious task of configuring, downloading and distributing VPN files. The OneDeploy Secure Edge integration automates the entire networking setup so you can focus on getting back your client’s business online, not managing tunnels. Some of the benefits of this integration include:

• Reduced RTO: By automating connectivity into the recovery site, this integration significantly shortens your recovery time objective (RTO). Users can access cloud-hosted servers and applications in moments.
• Eliminate errors: Manual VPN setup is replaced with a reliable, one-click process that reduces the risk of misconfiguration and human error. It’s repeatable, predictable and stress-free.
• Streamlined workflows: There’s no need to generate or distribute VPN configuration files. You also don’t need to make changes to endpoint devices. Everything is handled in the background automatically.
• Seamless experience: Manage the entire DR networking process from a single place: the Datto Recovery Launchpad. It instantly detects Secure Edge users that are already configured, making the transition to cloud recovery smooth and frictionless.

Why this matters to our partners

For MSPs, every client outage is a high-stakes moment. The ability to respond quickly, accurately and confidently can make all the difference, and this new integration helps deliver just that.

By eliminating the manual steps involved in connecting users to the cloud recovery environment, the OneDeploy Secure Edge integration transforms the disaster recovery experience. It complements Datto’s broader suite of 1-Click DR capabilities, enabling:

• Faster response times that get clients up and running in less time.
• Simplified technician workflows that free up resources during high-pressure incidents.
• Fewer errors and delays, thanks to consistent, automated connectivity.
• Greater confidence in every recovery scenario.

This is more than just a time-saver — it’s a strategic advantage for MSPs. As part of Datto’s unified platform, this integration reflects our continued focus on reducing complexity and enhancing value for our MSP partners. With fewer moving parts and more built-in automation, MSPs can deliver smoother, more reliable DR services that inspire trust and loyalty.
