How to Keep up with Data Recovery Requirements

same day payday

With the explosive growth in
organizational data and virtual server environments, enterprises have had to
explore new methods of protecting critical data assets within their disaster
recovery strategies.  Many companies have adopted an approach to keep
active data sets at their premises and to leverage emerging replication
technologies and external storage cloud service providers to protect their
organizations against disasters.

In order to meet the required
performance and availability data access services expected within production
environments, enterprise cloud services’ providers will extend a portion of
their storage cloud service assets on the client’s premises for handling both
active data sets and connecting data replication technologies to their offsite
clouds in order to meet geographic requirements associated with business
continuity plans.  By placing a portion of the cloud services at the
client’s premises, cloud service providers can leverage data de-duplication
technologies, thin provisioning, advanced archiving (and other emerging data
storage management technologies) to reduce the data sets required for the
disaster recovery strategy.  This has the incremental benefits of reducing
data replication bandwidth costs, reducing offsite storage costs, while meeting
necessary recover point objectives (RPO) and recover time objectives (RTO).

And with the convergence of
storage resource management (SRM) technologies with traditional data management
and replication technologies, many organizations will offload labor to the
storage cloud services provider to allow their internal resources to focus on
strategic initiatives.
