Data loss is a primary concern to business. The digitization of data and business workflows means that the ability to build resilience and restore information systems rapidly is a primary concern. The restoration and availablity of systems whilst maintaining the integrity of data has challenged organisations as data volumes have exploded over the past 10 years.
The advent of server virtualisation has in turn created new challenges as well as presented new opportunities for mechanisms allowing for the rapid backing up and replication of systems. However, just as important as backing up systems is the ability to restore. Too often companies focus on the backup process but do not consider that the real value only lies in the ability to restore data and to make it available.
PAV understands that an environment needs to be protected, backed up, replicated and so forth but that strategies have to be tailored to suit different environments, and different requirements. An understanding of a business’s Recovery Time Objectives and Recovery Point Objectives allows us to ascertain the suitability of different backup & availability strategies and to understand the best approach for organisations to employ.
