The need for Disaster Recovery (DR)

The Traditional Approach

TRT Business Recovery as a Service

The Need for IT Disaster Recovery

of enterprises have declared a disaster or
experienced a major business disruption*
Power Failure 42% - Natural Disaster 33% - IT Hardware Failure 31%

of enterprises have indicated that improving

disaster recovery capabilities was critical**
Cost of Downtime 56%; Improving Mission Critical Availability 52%;
Requirement to Stay Online 24/7 48%; Increased Risk 44%

The Traditional Approach

1. Backup to Tape/Image/Disk

Low Cost
Focus is on protecting
data
Need for backup
software, tape
devices/library.
Tapes are stored onsite
and send offsite
Poor Performance
Prone to errors
(operator, etc.)

2. Redundant
Infrastructure

High costs
Focus is on protecting
application
In a form of Clustering
or High-end Replication
High Performance
Duplicate or like-for-like
infrastructure on prod
and DR sites (hardware
and software)
Management complexity

Disaster Recovery by Virtualization

Organization can protect workloads across geographically dispersed sites and
rapidly recover in the event of server downtime or site disaster without having to
invest in costly duplicate hardware or redundant operating system and software
licenses

Local or
Wide Area
Network

Consolidated Virtual Host

Physical or Virtual Workloads

Define Your Objectives

How long do the business

processes must be restored
after declaring DR?

What amount of data loss is

acceptable?

How do we get the system back

into a useable state?

Business and mission critical data which impact
business operation if DOWN, required; RPO = 0hr ;
RTO= 0-1hr
Critical and important data which impact partially of
business operation, required; RPO=1-4hr ; RTO=14hr
Less-critical but important data which do not impact
main business operation but internal operation may
be affected, required; RPO=4-8hr ; RTO=4-8hr
Non-critical data, required; RPO=>8hr ; RTO=>8hr

Workload Protection
Backing up entire server workloads - the contents of
a server, including the operating system, applications
and data.
Recovering workloads during an outage
Restoring workloads to their original production
locations after the outage.

Workload Portability and Consolidation

Detach workloads from their native hardware
configurations and move a servers entire
software stack to any physical or virtual host, or
image archive.

PlateSpin Forge
