The Mystery of the UnknownWritten by Dina Safar & Joseph Ghabi

Many solutions are available and every company has a different set of needs. The main issue in choosing DR solutions is speed of replication and recovery. In past, 48 hours was acceptable to get backup tapes loaded, and be up-and-running again. Today, every uptime moment qualifies as mission critical. As more enterprises rely on Internet and require immediate access to their data to function, they are less tolerant of lost uptime. Each day more companies realize only way to minimize downtime associated with disaster is to implement an alternative data processing site that can be operational in a very short time. One of major technical challenges in maintaining a backup data center is in keeping data at backup data center synchronized with data in primary data center. Thanks to today’s available technology, software supporting any-to-any connectivity, not only delivers lightning-fast data mirroring and replication technology that enables creation of cutting edge backup data, but centers with no single point of failure. Also, it makes resulting fast remote data synchronization available across vendor lines and avoids problems of host-based replication. This software does not require any specialized hardware to replicate storage data. It can replicate data over any existing LAN, MAN, or WAN network infrastructure. The replication is configured and managed independently of application servers. Fault-tolerant hardware is available, with zero interruption in processing, zero loss of performance and zero loss of data integrity, even if a component fails. This means that unlike a high availability cluster, these computers do not impose recovery time. Their designs include modular redundancy fault-tolerant server to protect your users and applications from component outages for an average less than five minutes of downtime annually. Risks can be minimized but never entirely eliminated. All studies show that businesses, which have a disaster recovery plan for their vital systems, have a substantially higher likelihood of surviving when loss occurs. No one knows when a disaster will strike. It may never happen, or it may happen today. It is only for that of which ‘might happen’. The mystery of unknown! Being ready and prepared ahead of time can mark fine line between staying in business or going out of business. Dina Safar Director of Marketing Protection Infoglobale Inc.
