IT-organisms were caught between a rock and a hard ground. Charged with protecting the information of their business, IT organizations have aggressive Service Level Agreements (SLA), the impact on nature and the way the Council of the implementation of data protection hiring Recovery Point Objectives ( RPO), and the recovery time (RTO).
Organizations are struggling with shrinking or nonexistent backup window, the need to restore quickly, in most cases at a certain point in time, as well as compliance with legal or regulatory guidelines. The creation of backup copies on tape no longer appropriate, it is not only difficult to manage for backups and recoveries, but there is a lack of speed, reliability, flexibility and simplicity of the computer needs SLAs strict. Save it to disk with virtual tape or simulated Virtual Tape Libraries brief also notes that the administration of the solution is pushed Tape-centric and a timetable. You stick to the explosion of data, with the challenge to ensure the protection of remote offices, and you have risen to the challenge, there is a lot of today's business environment - with computers before the meeting on Harmonization of lines of business life today, the requirements related to technology.
As a result, a growing number of IT organizations traditional development of their backup and recovery strategies for continuous data protection (CDP) solutions. RPOs CDP, and improves dramatically, while the elimination of RTOs backup window. What's more, PSC not only reduces the need for a cartridge in the backup and recovery process, but it is also quite simple, often Recovery, users can restore their own files without the aid of computers.
What is the CDP?
CDP is a process that will enable organizations to collect continuous tracks or modifications of data and records regardless of changes in primary education, the recovery of certain items in the past. PSC can block file systems, or application and can be based on objects restored granularities fine gradations of recovery points in time.
PSC reduces the complexity of data protection system and represents a classic challenge theing the backup window, since it eliminates the need for complete information, differential or incremental backups by the continuous data protection, and then immediately the hard disk. CDP is not a complete replacement for traditional backup, but an important part of a good flare backup and restore of the Community strategy.
Maybe increased the CDP for backup and recovery of the e-mail? Given that the dominant form of communication for business transactions, E-Mail is an application of Mission-Critical for organizations of all sizes. It produces an enormous amount of information that is readily available and protected. The loss of a single message May generate hours of unnecessary work and frustrating for administrators and / or the user and can be low productivity or likely to affect the activity. And with the introduction of Microsoft Exchange 2007, organizations need to be protective measures solutions, including the assumption of the last offer from Microsoft.
It is not surprising that the amount of data e-mail, to the protection and availability grows exponentially. IT, which is faced with the challenge of securing these critical data within the existing backup window, and is recovering rapidly. In addition, they must not only be able to save and restore the overall e-mail databases, but they also need a system that allows the recovery of individual mailboxes or by e-mail . However, if the directors should have a complete backup copy of the e-mail, database, disaster recovery purposes and to be able to individual e-mail, folders or mailboxes, they usually make backups were separated.
Granular Recovery born New technologies that enable e-mails, mailboxes and individual files must be restored, without having to start all over a database of mail, and letters without separate and redundant backups. In an Exchange environment, for example, a simple pastime full or incremental backups of Exchange is necessary to dramatically reduce the time needed to protect all mailboxes, but at the same time reduces the backup storage required.
PSC considerably simplified backup and recovery of the e-mail to completely eliminate the need for implementing planned daily E-mail backup and recovery acceleration, in order to ensure continuity of supply ' e-mail.
How does the CDP end users can improve their own data?
Given that the CDP is a disk-based protection and recovery of the solution, it is possible to detail allow their own data. Some offer solutions PSC for this type of functionality, some with the help of a simple web interface that do not have the training, and allows users of old versions of files, without contact with computers. Empowering users to retrieve their own data free spread to other needs of business-critical of the organization.
SB-Thanks to these solutions recovery, the recovery lost, damaged or replaced data is as simple as searching and download files from the Internet. There is no tape to find or load and no further information on the restoration, see the appropriate file. Most importantly, these solutions do not require the installation of client software or individual officers on desktops and laptops a paradigm familiar Web does not require training. Users need only a standard Web browser, so that retrieval of data easier than ever.
Is CDP protection against data loss or corruption, because of security threats?
DP offers inherent in dealing with security threats by protecting data from the destructive impact of these attacks by viruses, worms, Trojan horses, etc.. Thanks to backing up data continuously CDP allows organizations, and the latest "good" data that are stored prior to the attack. The ability to "dial-back", a short time before that loss is a major gain for today's economy and information technology.
What is the role of traditional tape backup and data protection play today?
For decades, band has emerged as an effective tool for data protection and recovery. Tape is inexpensive media for data storage and portable format can easily be moved off-site. The administrators are also familiar with adhesive tape and procedural backup band, so it's a fairly simple task to be fulfilled, if only directors can be trained data from tapes.
Tape-based backup systems with the flexibility and simplicity, that many organizations now have to be given to a solution. The speed of the recovery, especially for files or e-mails is also a problem with the support solutions. Proper media and bandwidth management turnover, coupled with the need to strengthen the monitoring and management of the health of the band equipment are complex systems that require computer skills of the staff.
Today, there are more and more organizations have become a Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape strategy. It capitalizes on the characteristics of speed and reliability for Disk-based Backup - continues, including the protection and data migration, and then on the tape data and long-term side of data protection and storage off-site.
Utilizing both disk and tape-based data systems and methods of nature and in the right way, the greatest protection for businesses and help to ensure that IT strategies on the approximation of its needs best.
