Disaster Recovery
While most companies have documented recovery procedures for retaining and recovering information across the enterprise, those processes often fail during testing and real-life recovery efforts. The primary reason is the lack of knowledge in physical and virtual systems, storage, applications, and data, as well as their interdependencies.
In addition, those DR plans do not usually highlight the most critical and sensitive applications and processes that would be immediately required after an event. Nor do they prioritize those applications for immediate recovery so that the business can continue these operations. That means the critical applications and data you believe to be backed up and recoverable may indeed be a major exposure to your continuity.
Our DR/VFI solutions provide validation and assurance that your critical applications and data can be recovered in the event of a disaster or loss of primary data processing locations. Our process for validating recoverability is built right into DR/VFI. This helps you to:
- Monitor file use in real time to define file backup requirements
- Align your backup and recovery plan with file usage patterns
- Ensure storage resource volume and connectivity through simulated backup
- Demonstrate recoverability through simulated recovery
- Validate your Recovery Assurance capabilities through assessment and analysis reporting
