Two major trends affecting businesses today are reliance on data and geographic distribution. Continuous, consistent, fast, and reliable access to data is important. If a disaster occurs, quick availability of data becomes important. One of the ways of achieving this is by using replication.
A well-designed disaster recovery solution prepares a business for unexpected disasters and provides the following benefits in the event of a disaster:
Minimizes economic loss due to the unavailability or loss of data
Ensures safe and efficient recovery of data and services
Minimizes decision making during the disaster recovery
Reduces reliance on key individuals
Minimizes data loss during recovery and ensures availability of the most recent data
A strategic disaster recovery (DR) solution can provide businesses with ways to meet their service level agreements, comply with government regulations, and minimize their business risk.
