The Need for Disaster Recovery


Stuff Happens


The Need for Protection

*April 3, 2008 – Building The Business Case for Disaster Recovery Spending – Forrester**Jan. 25, 2010 – The State of Enterprise IT: 2009 to 2010 - Forrester

of enterprises have declared a disaster or experienced a major business disruption*

of enterprises have indicated that improving disaster recovery capabilities is a high priority**

Power Failure 42% - Natural Disaster 33% - IT Hardware Failure 31%

78%Critical Priority 30% - High Priority 48%

76%


Define your Objectives

•Recovery Time Objective (RTO) •Time between declaration and service availability•Time to restore services to useable state

•Recovery Point Objective (RPO)•Data in system at disaster time but not recovered•Amount of data entered since last backup


IT vs. Business

•Typically cost of downtime•Usually described as per hour in lost revenue•Actually a step function times cost per user

•1st minute negligible cost•3 months infinite cost

•Include PR, customer relations impacts

•Add in cost to recreate data•Very application dependant

•Web store orders are lost and unrecoverable•I might need to re-write an article


How fast can you recovery your applications?


Two Traditional Approaches


How to be Protected

Disaster Recovery by Duplication

Disaster Recovery by Back-up


DR by Duplication

• Focus is on protecting application– Local cluster– Duplicate hot site– Like for like infrastructure

• High performance, but at what price?– Near Zero RTO, RPO

• High cost– Duplicate infrastructure– Cost x2


DR by Back-up

• Focus is on protecting data– Tape back-up– Imaging

• Poor performance– Slow RTO, RPO (days)

• Cost effective, but at what price?– How do we get the data back

in to a useable state?– How long to rebuild the server?


The Challenge


Balancing Three Challenges

ConsolidatedDisasterRecovery


Bridge the gap with Virtualization


Bridging the GapCompleting your DR architecture

• Fast RTO and RPO• Duplicate Resources• Costly and Complex

• Slow RTO and RPO• Over Commitment of Recovery Resources

Duplication Backup


Virtualization and DR

• One virtual server host at your DR site can protect several in production

• Eliminates the bare metal restore problem• P2V with ongoing replication• Simplifies testing as VMs can be isolated


Consolidated RecoveryLeveraging Virtual Infrastructure for Protection of Physical servers

Solution• Replicate workload into an off-line virtual

machine

• One click failover

• One click test restore

• Flexible failback

Benefits• Drastically reduce TCO and RTO while

achieving whole workload protection

• Simplify testing with bootable backups

• Finally a way to complete your DR architecture

What do Customers Have to Say?


Nichols College

“Disaster recovery solutions can be very complex ... PlateSpin Forge is very straightforward. There’s just one piece of hardware to manage. It’s low maintenance, and has low overhead. Without it, we certainly would have spent more money on another disaster recovery solution that would have required more resources to support it.”

South Tahoe Public Utility District

“Without PlateSpin Forge in place, we would have really been scrambling, as it could easily take 25-30 staff hours to get a new server up and running ... With PlateSpin Forge, we had the new server up and running within just three to four hours.”
