Agenda The opportunity for Recovery as a Service PlateSpin Protect and PlateSpin Forge What s new? RaaS with Protect 11.1 & demo 2
The Opportunity for RaaS
Why Downtime Matters $10,000 $3.5 Million The Hourly Cost of Downtime Source: Winter 2014, The State of IT Resilience and Preparedness - Forrester 4
The RaaS Momentum Recovery as a Service (RaaS) is gaining wider use, mostly among small and midsize organizations with fewer than 250 virtual machines (VMs).* Almost one in four enterprises say that improving BC/DR is a critical priority for the next year, and this group is also more likely to use outsourced DR services.** *Source: March 2014, Assessing the Top Use Cases and Provider Types for Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery - Gartner **Source: Q1 2014, The Forrester Wave Traditional Disaster Recovery Service Providers - Forrester 5
Gartner s RaaS Provider Classification Cloud backup vendors (e.g. Axcient, Datto, Quorum) or their channel partners (e.g. Plan B) Cloud IaaS vendors also offering RaaS (e.g. AWS, Bluelock, VMware vcloud Hybrid Services) Hosting services offering RaaS (e.g. CSC, Rackspace, Hosting (formerly Hosting.com)) Traditional DR service vendors offering RaaS (e.g. HP Managed Services, IBM Business Continuity, Sunguard Availability Services) Telco and communication services providers offering RaaS (e.g. Verizon/Terremark, CenturyLink/Savvis) 6 *Source: March 2014, Assessing the Top Use Cases and Provider Types for Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery - Gartner
How Gartner Evaluates RaaS Providers Physical and virtual system protection and recovery DR testing and DR declaration support Manageability (incl. monitoring, reporting and networking options) Pricing and pricing policies (incl. pricing simplicity) Resiliency (including multisite capabilities, backups and the vendor s own DR maturity) Security and compliance (incl. data privacy measures and standards conformance) Value-added services (such as DR test assistance) 7 *Source: March 2014, Assessing the Top Use Cases and Provider Types for Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery - Gartner
Heterogeneity and Self-Service Two areas of particular interest to organizations evaluating RaaS vendors are: 1. The ability of the RaaS vendor to support physical servers (few organizations have attained 100% server virtualization) 2. The service offerings that make the RaaS solution a self-service-oriented solution or (at the other end of the scale) highly assisted or managed by the RaaS vendor services 8 *Source: March 2014, Assessing the Top Use Cases and Provider Types for Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery - Gartner
Define Your Objectives Recovery Time Objective (RTO) Time between declaration and service availability Time to restore services to useable state Recovery Point Objective (RPO) Data in system lost at disaster time Amount of data entered since last backup Test Time Objective (TTO) Time required to test recovery plans Resources used for testing 9
PlateSpin Protect and PlateSpin Forge
Data Backup 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? 11
Duplicated 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 12
Bridging The Gap? Duplication Fast RTO and RPO Duplicate resources Costly and complex Backup Slow RTO and RPO Over commitment of recovery resources 13
Update Your DR With Virtualization One virtual server host can protect several servers in production Eliminate the multi-platform problem Simplify testing as virtual machines can be isolated 14
Consolidated Recovery Virtual production servers Physical production servers Replicate workload into an offline virtual machine One-click failover One-click test restore Flexible failback Virtual recovery hosts Physical production servers 15
PlateSpin: Cost Effective Performance Availability % Downtime per Year Downtime per Month Typical RTO/RPO Solution Cost 90 one nine 95 36.5 days 18.25 days 72 hours 36 hours 12 24 hours 99 two nines 99.9 three nines 3.65 days 8.76 hours 7.2 hours 43.8 minutes 15 60 minutes 99.99 four nines 99.999 five nines 52.56 minutes 5.26 minutes 4.32 minutes 25.9 seconds <5 minutes 16
PlateSpin Forge vs. PlateSpin Protect PlateSpin Forge All-in-one DR hardware appliance No virtual infrastructure required; no expertise needed in virtualization PlateSpin Protect Sophisticated software DR solution Leverages capacity in existing VMware virtual infrastructure 17
PlateSpin Replication Dynamics Recovery workload runs on virtual infrastructure Failback to dissimilar hardware Failback with sync to repaired hardware Virtual recovery (remote site) Internal web server New web server 18
Advantages of PlateSpin Technology Same processes for physical and virtual workloads Protects Windows and Linux One-click fail-over & flexible fail-back, even to different hardware Easy one-click testing in a sandboxed environment Fast, reliable and secure replication File based Block based without driver Block based with driver 19
