Recover more data for more servers faster than ever before
Mid-market companies are saving increasing volumes of data. This means they face greater challenges for data protection, and require reliable service level agreements (SLAs) for backups as well as the ability to replicate data offsite for disaster recovery. Because they typically need to achieve more aggressive recovery time objectives (RTOs) involving a large number of servers and massive amounts of data simultaneously, you must be able to offer mid-market customers hybrid cloud strategies that ensure local as well as offsite backup. Products with global deduplication are essential to minimize usage of WAN bandwidth when replicating offsite and guarantee the efficient use of backup storage to meet recovery point objectives (RPOs). Look for technology that allows seamless instant recovery of virtual and physical environments for both on-premise and offsite backup and recovery. Support for warm standby virtualization is also important to hit more aggressive RTOs by allowing for failover of virtualized applications to a secondary site. Automated disaster recovery failover and testing is key to proving RTOs and RPOs in advance. This kind of functionality assures that you can minimize the time to recover critical applications in the event of a customer outage or disaster.
