Abstract
“Business continuity in today’s world starts with IT. Many organizations, regardless of their vertical, can only continue operations if their IT systems consistently remain available during any type of crisis,” says Jerome Wendt, Founder of the Data Center Intelligence Group. “Everything from hospital emergency room check-ins to power from utility companies to tellers in banks to burgers in fast food restaurants to you name it; they need IT all the time.”
Therefore, every organization needs the ability to recover data and applications promptly when failures occur.
The data environments of many businesses have become so large and complex that their backup infrastructures can no longer protect all their data or meet their recovery time requirements. Consequently, those businesses are at significant risk of harm through data loss and service outages.
Unfortunately, many business leaders discover this lack only after they have suffered a data loss incident or service outage.
