Backup and Recovery Solutions
Organizations dependence on full-time availability of data calls for frequent backups to ensure protection of mission-critical data. But do you have a plan in place to test the recovery of your data? Have you checked the files that are being backed up lately and make sure all your critical data is backing up?
The design of backup and recovery solutions needs to take into account business requirements of the organization as well as its operational environment. The backup and recovery solutions that are deployed must be predictable, reliable, and capable of processing data as quickly as possible.
Challenges that are faced by organizations in managing data include:
- Ensuring 99.999 percent service availability.
- Managing growth in the volumes of data.
- Managing storage infrastructure to improve the quality of service (QoS) as defined by service level agreements (SLAs) while reducing complexity and controlling costs.
- Integrating applications with storage and data management requirements.
- Operating within short, or non-existent, data backup windows.
- Supporting existing IT systems that cannot run the latest technologies.
- Managing islands of technology leads to decentralized administration and management as well as increased costs.
- Assessing data value so that the most appropriate strategies can be applied to each type of data.
