Virtual Disaster Recovery Service to Reduce Data Recovery
Windows by 80%
Databarracks has launched its Virtual Disaster Recovery Solution,
once again revealing itself as a pioneer in the provision of
cutting edge technology for data backup and recovery
solutions.
Peter Groucutt, Managing Director of Databarracks, says,
"Virtual Disaster Recovery means that we can now bring back entire
environments, from full server loss in approximately 20% of the
time it used to take with traditional backup methods"
The most competent backup services are dependent on SLA's
to provide restores in 8 to 24 hours, which can efficiently meet
the recovery time objectives for some applications and systems. But
with services running 24/7, and the productivity and operating of
core business activities relying on daily generated data, it is
clear that the recovery timeframe before set as standard to cause
minimum disruption is no longer acceptable for specific systems and
applications.
Virtual Disaster Recovery revolutionises the way backup and
recovery management is performed. The recovery time is nearly
instantaneous and you can have your systems up and running
without the cost of additional servers, storage, networks,
infrastructure, power, and rack space required to set up
traditional remote sites.
Oliver Mather, Databarracks Technical Director, says "We have
recently invested heavily in the implementation of a high end WM
Ware environment hosted on the latest generation of HP servers. A
lot of businesses are spending large amounts of money on replicated
environments, therefore increasing their data centre spend. At a
fraction of the cost, we are able to offer a very fast, 24/7/365
managed restore of systems, allowing business to connect remotely
with a 100Mbs internet speed, greatly reducing downtime. Also, due
to the use of virtual machines, there is less chance of recovery
failure due to incompatible configurations and hardware"
The VDR service also promotes Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)
and Data Centre Efficiency(DCE) as set by the Green Grid Metrics,
as it reduces the data footprint by using virtual partitioned
disks.
