* * Making spending decisions on recovery budgets is a challenge. Typically we see data centers spending as much as 80% of the DR budget on only the most mission critical servers (Fault Tolerant and High Availability) As a result, the lion’s share of data center servers are left under-protected – and while not mission critical – they are business critical At the same time, many servers that clearly require protection are over insured, because of a distinct lack of affordable DR alternatives. (i.e. – they have to spend a lot of money to protect semi-critical servers because expensive alternatives are the only one’s available) RPO – Recover Point Objective – How much data are you willing to lose in a disaster (e.g. 1 hour. 24 hrs, 5 minutes??) RTO – Recovery Time Objective – How long can you afford to be down for (i.e. How fast must you recover from a failure?) Given the limited traditional options as described in the previous slide, achieving RPO, RTO, and TTO needs can now be best accomplished via consolidated recovery with virtualization. It’s a cost-effective way to achieve maximum protection of your workloads. Traditional backup and restore solutions do not fully address the demands on the data center to maintain business continuity and provide rapid recovery from unexpected interruptions or disasters. While server clustering fully achieves recovery time and point objectives, it is extremely expensive, complicated to implement, and is not a viable option for all but the most mission critical server environments. While disk imaging technology carries a slightly more reasonable cost and maintains an adequate RPO, recovery time tends to be lethargic and error prone due to the inflexibility of the underlying imaging technologies. System restoration must be manually implemented on identical hardware which can take several hours and lead to costly human error. Finally, while tape backup is the most economically prudent alternative, it can be difficult to administer
