Digital Workspace Disasters and How to Beat Them
Digital Workspace Disasters and How to Beat Them
Topics: Liquidware, Business Continuity, Freform Dynamics, Disaster Recovery
This paper looks at risk management as it relates to the Windows desktops that are permanently connected to a campus, head office or branch network. In particular, we will look at how ‘digital workspace’ solutions designed to streamline desktop delivery and provide greater user flexibility can also be leveraged to enable a more effective and efficient approach to desktop disaster recovery (DR).
Desktop DR - the recovery of individual desktop systems from a disaster or system failure - has long been a challenge. Part of the problem is that there are so many desktops, storing so much valuable data and - unlike servers - with so many different end user configurations and too little central control. Imaging everyone would be a huge task, generating huge amounts of backup data. And even if those problems could be overcome with the use of software agents, plus de-deduplication to take common files such as the operating system out of the backup window, restoring damaged systems could still mean days of software reinstallation and reconfiguration. Yet at the same time, most organizations have a strategic need to deploy and provision new desktop systems, and to be able to migrate existing ones to new platforms. Again, these are tasks that benefit from reducing both duplication and the need to reconfigure the resulting installation. The parallels with desktop DR should be clear. We often write about the importance of an integrated approach to investing in backup and recovery. By bringing together business needs that have a shared technical foundation, we can, for example, gain incremental benefits from backup, such as improved data visibility and governance, or we can gain DR capabilities from an investment in systems and data management. So it is with desktop DR and user workspace management. Both of these are growing in importance as organizations’ desktop estates grow more complex. Not only are we adding more ways to work online, such as virtual PCs, more applications, and more layers of middleware, but the resulting systems face more risks and threats and are subject to higher regulatory and legal requirements. Increasingly then, both desktop DR and UWM will be not just valuable, but essential. Getting one as an incremental bonus from the other therefore not only strengthens the business case for that investment proposal, it is a win-win scenario in its own right.

Ten Topics to Discuss with your Cloud Provider
Ten Topics to Discuss with your Cloud Provider
Topics: 1111 Systems, 11:11 Systems, IaaS, Cloud Management, Disaster Recovery, DR, Multi-Cloud
Find the “just right” cloud for your business. For this white paper, we will focus on existing applications (vs. new application services) that require high levels of performance and security, but that also enable customers to meet specific cost expectations.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of cloud services available to organizations. In many cases, the capabilities of the service, adjusted for cost, matter more to decision makers than the infrastructure itself. As an example, the underlying infrastructure that supports common business software such as Salesforce, Microsoft Office 365, is rarely scrutinized, as the products are trusted solely on the brand’s reputation.

Choosing the right cloud service for your organization, or for your target customer if you are a managed service provider, can be time consuming and effort intensive. For this paper, we will focus on existing applications (vs. new application services) that require high levels of performance and security, but that also enable customers to meet specific cost expectations. Topics covered include:
•    Global access and availability
•    Cloud management
•    Application performance
•    Security and compliance

How to Sell Disaster Recovery to Senior Management
How to Sell Disaster Recovery to Senior Management
Topics: DRaaS, DR, Disaster Recovery, Buisness Continuity, 11:11 Systems, 1111 Systems
Are you having trouble selling DR to Senior Management? This white paper gives you strategies for getting on the same page as senior management in implementing a DRaaS solution.
Are you having trouble selling DR to Senior Management? One reason relates to common attitudes towards risk. While people are risk averse and willing to pay to mitigate risk, they do so only when their own money is at stake. When company money is on the line, they’re far more willing to take risks. As a Senior Analyst at Forrester Research has said, “Organizations are willing to accept far more risk than I would have ever thought possible.”

Another reason for this challenge is that organizations, like yours, believe that they have a comprehensive DR program, when, in fact, their program is incomplete. Organizations often implement backup/recovery hardware and software, but fail to consider the processes necessary to implement a full solution.

This white paper gives you strategies for getting on the same page as senior management regarding DR. These strategies include:
•    Striking the use of the term “disaster” from your vocabulary making sure management understands the ROI of IT Recovery
•    Speaking about DR the right way—in terms of risk mitigation
•    Pointing management towards a specific solution.
