Most organizations planning their VMware Exit view it as a hypervisor replacement project. That narrow goal hides a larger opportunity: the chance to modernize data protection and recovery. The migration process highlights the failure of legacy disaster recovery strategies to…
Many IT professionals overly rely on backup software for data protection, which should be a secondary measure. Infrastructure software is crucial for ensuring data resiliency, uptime, and handling hardware failures. It provides proactive solutions like real-time snapshots and high availability, minimizing reliance on backup systems and enabling quicker recovery.
When searching for a VMware alternative, ensuring robust data protection and system resiliency should be a top priority. Key capabilities to look for include integrated high availability, advanced data protection mechanisms, real-time disaster recovery, and strong ransomware defenses. Platforms that offer seamless VM migration, efficient snapshots, and compatibility with third-party backup solutions can help streamline your infrastructure while reducing complexity and costs. This checklist provides an essential guide to finding the right solution to enhance your data center’s resiliency and protect your virtual environment.
The introduction of instant recovery was a significant advancement in data recovery, offering quicker restoration times without real-time replication. However, as data dependence grows, its limitations become apparent. Real-time recovery, exemplified by VergeIO’s ioGuardian, promises reduced RPO and RTO, simplified recovery, cost-effectiveness, and enhanced data availability, setting a new standard in data restoration.
Backup software vendors insist on making backup data immutable, so IT professionals are now asking what are immutable backups. Securing backup data is critical since bad actors know the organization will count on their backups to recover encrypted files and…
When looking at the cloud as a backup alternative, IT professionals need to consider if DRaaS solves the cloud backup problem of recovering from a disaster or ransomware attack. Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) enables you to instantiate your…
There are three reasons you need standby storage. First, it provides the best way to recover from a ransomware attack. Second, it enables you to recover from a hard failure of your production storage systems. Third, it provides you with…
The cost to store backups on-premises is already a significant expense for data centers to endure and the rapid growth in unstructured data is pushing budgets to the breaking point. Cloud Storage, because of its low cost and infinite scalability,…
If disaster strikes, the purpose of a disaster recovery plan (DRP) is to guide the available IT personnel through the process of recovering the data center, either at an alternate site owned by the company or a facility owned by…
There is a difference between availability and backup. Providing a workload with high availability means that if a component of the infrastructure fails, adequate measures are in place to ensure that the use of the workload continues with little or…
