How  to  leverage  on  a  cost  effec0ve  Cloud  based  Infrastructure  to  build  your  DRP  

WHY IS DRP CRITICAL ?

2  

Today’s organizations are exposed to a wide range of outages and disasters: fires, floods, viruses, hardware failures, corrupted data and even human error. A reliable RD strategy will prevent: •  Expensive business downtime •  Loss of productivity •  Breach in Customer Service Agreement •  Impact on reputation and/or financial assets

DRP CHALLENGES

3  

DRP implementation can be expensive and complex. Usually a DRP will require:

•  access to data copies •  ressources located in remote sites.

DRP CHALLENGES

4  

3 different site strategies:

Cold standby   Warm standby   Hot standby  - Involves offsite maintained copies of the data on tape and access to a similar network and hardware set of equipment. - Recovery may take hours or even days. Testing is complex and time consuming.

 

- Based on disk copies of data driven by VM. - Data restoration is much faster (hours). - Periodic testing is easier and VM images that encapsulate system, apps, data and settings easy to synchronize between primary and standby site. - Periodic data upgrade requires fast and reliable Network.  

- Sites are running systems to maintain real time data and applications. - Hot site is available to take over operations on failure of the primary site. - Hot site requires upgrade and maintenance like primary site as well as high speed network.

 

DRP DESIGN OPTIONS

VIRTUALIZATION AND CLOUD DRIVE DRP SUCCESS

6  

Virtualization doesn’t only keep hardware related costs low  Also helps to simplify the DRP maintenance process and

provide real time flexibility. In a nutshell, main benefits are:

•  No, or very limited, CAPEX in cloud based DRP. •  No long term commitment for site or equipment rental. •  With cloud-based DRP, you don’t have to build a DR platform,

you just rent one which will perfectly fit your requirements. •  Platform is flexible. It will grow with your business for a

predictable cost. •  Cloud and virtualization will support multi-tier design in order to

mix private and ‘virtual private’ clouds if needed. •  Overall Cost Of Ownership and Operation significantly lowered

by: •  Pay as you go and only for what you use model •  Easy data replication and no fee data import
