30 Challenges of Disaster Recovery Minimize downtime Reduce risk Control cost Many manual processes for recovery Multiple steps to overcome hardware differences Incomplete or out-of-date runbooks Configuration Drift Testing requires additional hardware and infrastructure Usually only data is regularly and cleanly updated Frequent failures during recovery Multi-Tiered Applications Logical Inconsistency Simplest recovery requires identical hardware Idle recovery hardware is impossible to repurpose Multiple third-party products necessary for recovery Incorporating All Application Tiers
31 What We Hear Is This Familiar? We don t have a DR plan for mission critical x86 systems it would be too expensive and complex It is very difficult to test our DR plan because of all the extra hardware, configuration and special processes In our last disaster recovery test we missed our recovery objectives by days Only 31% of CIO s surveyed rate their plans as extremely or very effective (IDG) 40% of all companies that experience a major disaster will go out of business if they cannot gain access to their data within 24 hours (Gartner)
32 Advantages of Virtual Disaster Recovery Virtual machines are portable Virtual hardware can be automatically configured Test and failover can be automated (minimizes human error) The need for idle hardware is reduced Costs are lowered, and the quality of service is raised
