ON-DEMAND PODCAST
Building Proven 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 podcast, 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?
Included is a checklist with considerations to make this task easier, with such considerations as:
-
Compatibility with your existing backup and archive applications
-
Appliance or software-based solution
-
Sizing performance requirements
-
Scalability for performance and capacity
"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."
