Compliance
Simplified Enterprise Protection Storage for Regulatory Compliance
Challenges
- Meeting Current Regulatory Requirements: Many
regulations and standards explicitly require disaster recovery (DR), including SEC 17-4,
HIPAA, Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLBA), and European Union Data Protection Directive
(EUDPD). Some have very specific geographic distance requirements for DR sites. You
require simple and flexible data protection solutions to meet a plethora of different
statutes, directives, and standards.
- DR Audits: To meet the compliance requirements
in real crisis situations, DR plans and processes must be tested and audited. Are you
passing your DR audits?
- Changing Regulations: Compliance is a moving
target, with constantly changing requirements for offsite data protection and retention
periods. In response, you need flexible and scalable storage solutions to meet your
current and future regulatory and business requirements.
Solution
The key point of these laws, regulations, and standards in terms of DR is the same in
all cases: Enterprises must ensure that critical data and systems are available at all
times, even in the event of a crisis situation.
Data Domain addresses this fundamental requirement with reliable online disk backups
and network-based disaster recovery, enabling you to effectively plan and test your data
protection and DR strategy.
In addition, Data Domain allows you to respond to compliance challenges with:
- Automatic, Secure WAN Vaulting for DR: By
applying Data Domain’s Global Compression™ 20x
data reduction factor over the WAN, Data Domain greatly reduces the network bandwidth
requirements for offsite replication. With up to 99% bandwidth reduction, the transfer
of large amounts of data across the WAN is economically and operationally feasible. The
Replicator software delivers network-based DR solutions for both data centers and remote
offices.
- Ultimate Data Integrity: Data Domain’s
Data Invulnerability
Architecture provides the best defense against data integrity issues. Continuous
recovery verification along with extra levels of data protection such as dual disk
parity RAID (RAID 6) continuously detect and protect against data loss, during storage
of backup data and throughout the life cycle of the backup data.
- Flexibility and Scalability: Data Domain systems
can scale from 100 TB to 15 petabytes for you to meet changing business and compliance
needs. Data Domain also offers various topology options, such as one-to-one,
bidirectional, and many-to-one, with the Replicator software to meet your specific DR
requirements.
