Building Proven Data Protection Strategies

Building Practical Data Protection Strategies

Will traditional data protection applications survive the demands for ultra-high availability and the growing requirements for nearly instantaneous recovery?

In this paper, data protection expert Fred Moore of Horison Information Strategies explores today’s backup and recovery strategy options, comparing traditional methods, such as backup, disk mirroring, snapshots, CDP, and VTLs.

What are the trade-offs associated with each and, more important, how do new data deduplication techniques change storage economics and impact data protection decisions and purchases? Data recovery options must align with application and business requirements to yield the highest availability. Creating a full backup to tape is no longer economical nor does it provide the highest availability when compared to next generation solutions.

Included is a checklist with considerations to make this task easier. 

"It's my opinion as an analyst in the industry that we are seeing the beginning of the end of the traditional backup and recovery model. I believe the technology that is leading the way is deduplication."

—Fred Moore, President, Horison Information Strategies
