Addressing Data Backup & Recovery Challenges
By Paul Rummery, Securenet Consulting
How confident are most
organisations that their backup and data recovery strategy will hold up in the
event of a disaster?
Data
growth is still without a doubt adding to the pressure on IT infrastructures to
ensure successful data recovery strategies. In-between DR tests, data doesn’t just
stop growing, thus making any DR plan out of date from the point in time it is
signed off - thus leaving an element of unmeasured risk.Virtualisation and cloud computing has provided business with many advantages but also introduces new complexities around data protection and data recovery.
The
new question that we are looking to address is ‘how best to protect data across
heterogeneous environments’. IT
is now tasked with having to protect data across physical, virtualised and
cloud-based systems and servers.
Software mess / sprawl: Many
are struggling because they have adopted a multi-vendor approach over time to
protect data, mainly because traditional data backup and recovery solutions do
not satisfy requirements in virtual and cloud environments. At the other end of
the spectrum, other data backup vendors only specialise in virtual and
cloud-based data protection – thus resulting in the adoption of multi-vendor
platforms, contributing to added costs being placed on budgets and
administration resource time/costs.
Tolerance
for downtime and data recovery puts pressure on IT management. Improving performance
of backup windows, faster restore and recovery times and lower overall TCO
(total cost of ownership) are being pushed from all angles within the business.
The
other issue is of course budget constraints – not being able to do more with
less – making it hard for organisations and IT departments to deploy and manage
complex data protection platforms.
The
truth is, you can get enterprise class data protection at mid-market pricing
Solving today’s critical
backup & data recovery issues
Securenet’s goal is to
present solution (or a solution) that fit in, works in complex, big data
environments (support for different versions of servers, operating systems –
Windows, Hyper-V, VMware, XenServer, Mac OS, Linux, AIX, Solaris, Exchange,
SQL, Oracle, NAS, SAN), to make it easier to protect data across heterogeneous
environments, that is both easy to use with a simple pricing model.
We work with companies who
want an easy-to-use and affordable data backup and recovery solution, that they
can plug in and trust to protect rapidly expanding volumes of data across heterogeneous
environments.
We provide an audit service
to customers to review the existing environment, look at the businesses
evolving virtualisation strategy, the amount of data they need to protect,
including internal SLAs, present optimal data recovery strategies.
All-in-one solution for
data backup, archiving, instant recovery and disaster recovery for physical,
virtual and cloud infrastructure.
