- 16. Achieving a Dynamic InfrastructureThe path is difficultLegacy challengeIn fast growth periods IT is built quickly with limited focus on cost efficiency or agilityNow dealing with significant technology shiftsEmergence of new platforms i.e. virtualisation, cloud Provides more infrastructure flexibility but adds a layer of complexity Support for both physical and virtual environments adds to challengesCost and time involved in infrastructure managementRe-provisioning servers, desktop management, disaster recoveryLearning new server, storage and virtualisation platforms is expensiveComplianceNew requirements on data accessibility Archiving
- 17. Top IT ConcernsRobust disaster recovery
- 18. Ability to deal quickly with infrastructure issues
- 19. Easier management of smaller business continuity needs
- 20. Understand value of new technologies
- 21. Deliver services to meet user needs and expectations
- 22. Improve efficiency and reduce operational cost of ITThe Day-to-Day RealityTypical questionsHow can I replace a physical server because it is no longer performing optimally?
- 23. How can I allocate more disk space or processing power to a cluster?
- 24. What happens if the entire data centre needs to be moved to a different location?
- 25. How can I get maximum return on investment from my existing infrastructure?
- 26. How can I migrate data across disparate systems?
- 27. How can I protect and recover systems in the event of disaster?
- 28. How can I do all this with minimal disruption to users? Double-Take’s ApproachFocus on workload optimisationDecouple workload from infrastructureRun workload on any part of the infrastructureHarness our strengthsPlatform and application independentByte-level replication and server provisioningTechnology from acquisitionsTimeSpring – CDP and granular recoveryemBoot – iSCSI SAN and booting from SAN13www.doubletake.com
