 Disaster
Recovery
Whether
planned or unplanned, downtime poses a constant, costly challenge to IT managers.
Researcher IDC estimates that downtime costs organizations worldwide billions
of dollars each year. It is not surprising, then, that many IT managers are in
the vanguard of the effort to eliminate, or at least lessen, the impact of downtime.
No matter how
good an enterprise's network is, data loss and system crashes are inevitable.
And no matter what the cause, when business information isn't available, every
minute down costs money. That is why today's enterprises need a plan that gets
the network back up and running within minutes, not hours or days.
How
important is it to ensure the security and availability of your information assets?
According to a recent report by the U.K.'s Department of Trade and Industry, 70%
of companies go out of business after a major data loss. That is why it is no
exaggeration to say that, in many ways, your information is your business. Loss
of productivity due to unplanned or planned downtime is becoming more of a drain
on organizations and therefore more unacceptable. Organizations that have heterogeneous
IT environments would do well to explore a new approach to minimizing downtime.
While many companies
today use a tape backup system to protect their critical corporate server data,
desktop and laptop data is often left unprotected. According to IDC, 60 percent
of critical corporate data actually resides on those desktops and laptops, and
only 18 percent of organizations believe they have adequate protection for their
workstations. This lack of protection leaves many organizations vulnerable and
at risk for data loss. In today's regulatory environment, where the number of
regulations and their unique requirements are growing daily, such a state of affairs
is unacceptable. More
and more industry experts agree that a solid disaster recovery plan incorporates
the archival strengths of tape backup but also addresses business continuity issues
with a disk-to-disk solution. Disk-to-disk backup and recovery solutions offer
an effective first line of defense, helping to minimize organizations' risks by
ensuring they have backups to recover from in the event of a failure. For IT departments,
that can help take the sting out of the prospect of downtime. What
