Define Your Objectives
• Time between declaration and service availability
• Time to restore services to useable state
Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
• Data in system lost at disaster time• Amount of data entered since last backup
Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
• Time required to test recovery plans• Resources used for testing
Test Time Objective (TTO)

Backup Your Data
• Focus is on protecting data– Tape backup
– Imaging
• Poor performance– Slow RTO, RPO (days)
• Hidden costs– How do we get the data back
in to a useable state?
– How long to rebuild server?

Double Infrastructure
• Focus is on protecting application
– Clustering
– Like-for-like infrastructure
• Performance, but at what price?
– Near-zero RTO, RPO
• High cost– Duplicate infrastructure
– Management complexity
Virtualize Disaster Recovery

– Same workflow
• Improved performance– One-click RTO
– Incremental snapshots

Best of Both with Virtualization
• Virtual backup hardware– Eliminate rebuild process
– Duplicate hardware virtually
• Low cost– Virtual infrastructure
– Easy management

Customer Successes
Nichols College
“Disaster recovery solutions can be very complex ... PlateSpin Forge is very straightforward. There’s just one piece of hardware to manage. It’s low maintenance, and has low overhead. Without it, we certainly would have spent more money on another disaster recovery solution that would have required more resources to support it.”

"With PlateSpin Protect, we can recover multiple sites with the same set of hardware quite easily, in a matter of minutes."
