Abstract
Many core business operations require consistent access to business applications and the rapidly growing amounts of business data associated with those opera- tions. Any disruption to that access can have significant impacts on businesses. Thus, organizations have a growing need for rapid recovery from system failures, no matter the cause of the failures.
Minimizing the impact of system failures requires an architectural approach that focuses on rapid recovery at scale. As the amount of data an organization manages grows beyond several hundred terabytes, existing backup solutions and manual procedures do not meet the organization’s recovery requirements. Thus, they discover they need a next-generation enterprise data platform that is architected for rapid recovery.
The importance of making rapid recov- ery the design center for a next-generation enterprise data plat- form cannot be overstated, as orga- nizations that fail to prioritize rapid recovery risk signifi- cant financial losses, reputational damage, and even legal consequences.
Beyond rapid recovery, organizations need a data plat- form that enables them to derive more value from data, while optimizing their growing data estates for access, performance, and cost.
