Alternative Solutions

• Traditional Backup
• Poor RTO/RPO
• Complex, error-prone
• Synchronous Replication
• Typically very expensive
• Hardware-specific solutions limit flexibility
• Distance limitations eliminate it as a candidate
  for Disaster Recovery
• Microsoft Clustering
• Single point of failure

Less than 5 of the data stored in the
enterprise requires synchronous protection. -

Alternative Solutions

• Asynchronous Replication
• RPO of minutes, seconds, or zero
• No limit on distance and low impact on server
  performance
• RTO of minutes instead of hours or days
• Users often unaware of failure or outage
• System State Protection
• Protect the entire server OS, applications, and
  data with one protection job

Business Considerations

• Data integrity
• Point-in-Time Recovery
• System state protection
• Bandwidth Friendly Data Movement

• File recovery
• Application recovery
• Full server recovery
• On-demand recovery

Enhanced Backup

• Consolidate data offsite for disaster recovery
• Remove backups from branch offices
• Backup open files - without agents
• Reduce overhead on production servers
