Considerations when selecting a hosting solution Point of Recovery (POR) aka Recovery Point Objective How much data can a customer stand to lose (in minutes, hours or days?) Time to Recover (TTR) aka Recovery Time Objective How long can it take before a customer is processing data at an alternate DR site? One site or two? Site redundant, Grid Redundant, Geo-redundant Location Accessible by car, or flight required? Ex: Ashburn, VA may be attractive DR to NY Metro since drive time <4 hours Economics Scale, Budget, Schedule, Staffing Cyrus One n 12
Sample Scenario: Regional Bank with Phili HQ Point of Recovery (POR) aka Recovery Point Objective Minutes on banking data, hours on internal data Time to Recover (TTR) aka Recovery Time Objective <5 min on customer transactions, 1 business day on internal functions What would you recommend and why? Services Required? One site or two? Location? Implementation? 13
DRT Takeaways: Hurricane Sandy 1. Spare towels are just as important as hot showers! 2. A robust gasoline and diesel fuel supply chain is essential 3. Staff up to avoid fatigue (may need to flex locations and schedule) 4. Simplicity + Standards = Uptime 5. The ultimate in redundancy is diversity (distance) 14
