Better Together

The Data Availability Challenge Organizations are modernizing their data centers so that they can provision IT services faster, strengthen security and control, and lower operating costs. While building modern data centers, organizations invest in server virtualization, modern storage applications, and cloud-based services. However, businesses are facing new demands from end users, including access to data and applications at all times with no downtime or data loss. In addition, they are facing exponential data growth annually. For many organizations, there is a gap: between the requirements of the Always-on Enterprise™ and IT’s ability to effectively deliver availability. Organizations bridge this gap with a new kind of solution — one that delivers a recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) of less than 15 minutes for all applications and data.
