Companies of all sizes realize that near real-time business recovery is no longer a nice-to-have – it is becoming a new corporate must have. Competition, regulations and the 24x7 nature of businesses all push for continual application and data availability under almost any circumstances.
Companies of all sizes realize that near real-time business recovery is no longer a nice-to-have – it is becoming a new corporate must have. Competition, regulations and the 24x7 nature of businesses all push for continual application and data availability under almost any circumstances. Many companies still standardize on traditional data protection methods such as backup software to address these unknowns but this tactic offers little hope when considered from a macro data protection view. Data recoveries may need to occur onsite or offsite; in stages with various recovery points in the events of brown outs; or with different personnel than the individuals who daily manage the backups or initially drafted the data protection plan. These variables introduce escalating levels of risk to the company as it creates dependencies on specific processes and people that most companies will find unacceptable.
