The Need for Disaster Recovery


Why Downtime Matters

*September 2, 2010 , Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery are top IT Priorities for 2010 and 2011 - Forrester

Total economic damage from disaster in 2009*

Economic impact felt in the U.S. from disasters in 2009*

$10.8 Billion

$41.3 Billion


Becoming a Priority

• Better able to identify and quantify risk

• Better understanding of economic impact

• Less tolerance for downtime and data loss

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

78% Critical Priority 30% - High Priority 48%

*Jan. 25, 2010 – The State of Enterprise IT: 2009 to 2010 - Forrester


Define Your Objectives

• Time between declaration and service availability

• Time to restore services to useable state

Recovery Time Objective (RTO)

• Data in system lost at disaster time• Amount of data entered since last backup

Recovery Point Objective (RPO)

• Time required to test recovery plans• Resources used for testing

Test Time Objective (TTO)

Cloud Computing Overview


From a Big Box to a Big Cloud


Defining Cloud Characteristics


The Cloud Stack


Your cloud, my cloud

• Public Scalable and elastic computing services offered to external

customers via the Internet.

Typically multi-tenant, where multiple customers are able to share a single set of resources.

• Private Dynamic and scalable computer services offered to internal

customers using equipment the customer owns and delivered over a private network.

Traditional Approaches to DR


Backup Your Data

• Focus is on protecting data– Tape backup

– Imaging

• Poor performance– Slow RTO, RPO (days)

• Hidden costs– How do we get the data back

in to a useable state?

– How long to rebuild server?


Double Infrastructure

• Focus is on protecting application

– Clustering

– Like-for-like infrastructure

• Performance, but at what price?

– Near-zero RTO, RPO

• High cost– Duplicate infrastructure

– Management complexity

Virtualize Disaster Recovery


Bridging the Gap

• Fast RTO and RPO• Duplicate resources• Costly and complex

• Slow RTO and RPO• Over commitment of recovery resources

Duplication Backup


Consolidated Recovery

Solution

• Replicate workload into an offline virtual machine

• One-click failover

• One-click test restore

• Flexible failback

Recovery Cloud


Recovery Cloud

Setup Workload Replications

Replicate every hour (1h RPO)

Scheduled replications: Workload changes are automatically replicated into virtual machines inside the Recovery Cloud


Recovery Cloud

Easy Test Failover

Test Failover: recover workloads in isolated virtual networks to avoid production disruptions

Users connect to running workloads to test their applications

Isolated Virtual Network


Recovery Cloud

Recover Workloads In Minutes

Offline Detection: NetGains Protect sends out notification when the protected workload goes offline

Failover: Workloads are recovered in minutes inside the Recovery Cloud

Users connect to workloads running in the Recovery Cloud


Recovery Cloud

Restore the Production Environment

Failback: move the workload back into production to the same or a different host

Virtual or Physical Host
