Shifting Targets in DR

• Change from true DR to HA and RA
• Lower RTO
• Lower RPO
• Less flexibility
• Less acceptance of downtime
• More than one datacenter office
• Servers spread out
• Datacenter sprawl
• More visibility
• Most applications becoming critical

3
Budget is tighter

• Never a new idea
• Now more visible
• Unlikely to change this year

4
Tape Backup becoming not enough

• No Backup Windows
• Servers always in use
• Agents consume too many resources
• Data consumes too many tapes
• No Time to Restore
• Live restorations rated in days
• Test restorations dont get done
• No Control
• Untrained staffers doing backups at branches
• Tapes improperly controlled

5
New Systems are Needed

• Continuous Protection
• Replication solutions that are safe
• Options for Point-in-time and Real Time
• Flexibility required
• High Availability
• Near-immediate failover
• End-user transparency
• Remote Availability
• Cross-subnet solutions
• Many to one solutions

6
Centralized Backup

• Works in step with HA and RA
• Many to one compatible
• Flexible and testable
