As a data-driven business, a disaster plan is essential, even if it means that you’ll never need to use it. The statistics after the recent Hurricane Irma revealed that almost 40% of small businesses were never able to reopen due to extensive damages. With Vembu OffsiteDR, you can build a reliable and resilient DR strategy for your business as it replicates data from the onsite server instantaneously. You can set up a disaster recovery server in an offsite location, and when the primary server goes down, data can easily be restored from the offsite server.

Read this white paper to know more about how Vembu OffsiteDR works and why it is a suitable solution for your business.

Confused about RTOs and RPOs? Fuzzy about failover and failback? Wondering about the advantages of continuous replication over snapshots? Well, you’re in the right place. The Disaster Recovery 101 guide will help you learn about DR from the ground up and assist you in making informed decisions when implementing your DR strategy, enabling you to build a resilient IT infrastructure.

This 101 guide will educate you on topics like:

• How to evaluate replication technologies
• Measuring the cost of downtime
• How to test your Disaster Recovery plan

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.
