How do you know if you are exposed?
Your existing business continuity plan is leaving you exposed:
—If your plan requires significant manual intervention
—If your plan accepts loss of data beyond a few seconds
for critical systems
—If your plan cannot restore access to critical systems in
minutes
—If your plan depends on 30-year old backup and recovery
technology (definitely!)

The Top 10 …
1. It’s about the business, not the Technology
2. It’s a catastrophe! … or maybe not.
3. How can one assign the budget, without knowing the cost of
downtime?
4. … it’s about measuring risk.
5. DO you have a Plan?

The Top 10 … (continued)
6. We’ve got a Plan, but we didn’t test
7. Who IS responsible … and for what?
8. Recovery Point? Recovery Time??
9. Recovery takes a LOT longer than you think it will

RPO’s/RTO’s vary significantly
 Almost all organizations have at least two “tiers” of
recovery
 More stringent RPO’s/RTO’s are more expensive to do
 Creating different recovery tiers with legacy backup
products is complex

Thoughts to consider
25
 Emerging trends are impacting data protection
– Increasingly stringent SLA and HA requirements
– Backup and DR tasks migrating to IT generalists
– Utilization of cloud technologies where appropriate
 The bar has been raised on baseline data
protection functionality
– Flash, storage efficiency options, single pass protection
– Comprehensive coverage and API support, flexible recovery options
 The efficiency mantra: Consolidate, Standardise
and Automate – very pertinent to data protection,
HA and DR
