The data protection process sometimes has objectives that seem to be in opposition to one another. On one side, the organization needs rapid and frequent data captures so that RPOs and RTOs are met. On the other side, there is…
For organizations needing to protect mission-critical critical systems, software-based replication is an ideal way to meet and potentially exceed expectations. In fact, replication can be implemented so cost effectively that the scope of coverage can extend beyond mission-critical systems and…
During a disaster everyone needs a place to go, including an organization’s applications and data. Ideally that “place” is prepared. For decades the only real decision for IT was just how prepared would the DR site be? Options ranged from…
As discussed in our last entry, replication is an ideal way for most organizations to meet the data protection and data recovery demands of their mission critical applications. But there is a choice that IT needs to make when selecting…
While they should only represent a small percentage of your environment, mission critical applications need the most attention when designing a protection process for them. Most of these applications can only be down for a few minutes and can only…
Most of the time IT spends focusing on disaster recovery planning is actually spent on protection, making sure data is being copied to a secondary storage system and a secondary site either by backup or replication. Some advanced recovery planners…
