DATA BACKUP & RECOVERY: Protecting Your Company’s Electronic Information
The Wealth of Information Your data is your… • Intellectual property • Electronic records • Productivity enabler • Foundation of relationships
How Data Is Lost • The most common reasons for data loss are: • 40% Hardware Failure • 29% Human Error • 13% Software Failure/Corruption • 9% Theft • 6% Viruses • 3% Natural Disasters
A Look at Offsite Data Backup • Helps to solve many “challenges” • Backups are scheduled • Continual data protection • Automated, digital offsite storage • On-demand recovery • Scalable to meet needs
So Why Not Offsite Data Protection? • Storage costs • Understanding where data lives • I like to manage my own backup process and systems
Granular Controls • What is backed up? • Whose files are backed up? • How do you prioritize file recovery? • How quickly can files be accessed?
Enterprise Data Backup Geographically dispersed, Redundant data centers Transmitted over secure, encrypted private tunnel Network Computers Files are compressed & encrypted before backup Network Server(s) If needed, data is restored securely and immediately
Disaster Recovery Three main components • Automated backup • Offsite, redundant storage • Immediate recovery
Backup Is Great,But It’s the Recovery that Counts Costs of recovery mishaps • IT cost • Downtime – for one, many or all • Re-creation of data - if possible • Business viability
Virtualization for Business Continuity • Reduces price and complexity of business continuity • Encapsulates OS/apps/data • Stores encapsulated data offsite • Allows remote access to systems • Easy, quick restoration Creates a “mirror” of primary systems
Benefits of Virtualization • Speed of recovery • No duplication of hardware • Flexibility • Cost savings
If You’re Doing This “Right,” You… • Provide “insurance” for your data • Gain process efficiencies • Improve your IT infrastructure • Establish a disaster recovery plan • Free up time to do projects you really want to do…
