onQ™ Flex is a Hybrid Cloud configuration where your business‑critical Recovery Nodes (RNs) are Ready‑to‑Run in the event of a disaster and the remaining RNs are preconfigured to Build‑on‑Demand (BoD), yet all data is protected. If you want to change BoD RNs to Ready‑to‑Run RNs, you can do so, but there’s a monthly charge; to avoid the charge, you can easily upgrade.
onQ is unable to test BoD RNs because a recovery node must be available to do so; nonetheless, in the event that you desire to test an RN or you have a disaster, simply
manually create the on‑demand RN; there is a monthly cost associated with creating and storing on‑demand RNs, so be sure to
delete the on‑demand RN if you no longer need them. Lastly, unlike Ready‑to‑Run RNs, BoD RNs do not receive RN updates.
