October 12, “Maintaining duplicate hardware at a DR site is expensive, complex, and time consuming.” “A DR site is like having an expensive insurance policy. We know we need something, but it’s difficult to justify the cost.” Typical DR Challenges “Testing our DR plan is very difficult. And to be honest, we’re just not sure if it’ll work as we hope it will.” “When we tested our DR plan recently, we missed our Recovery Time Objective by DAYS! ”

October 12, Typical DR Challenges How Virtualization Solves the DR puzzle Inefficient Inflexible Multi- replication Complex Costly Difficult to Test Unreliable Efficient Flexible Unified replication Reduce DR Costs Flexible Reliable (storage replication updates all SW&HW) Reliable (easier to test) Reliable (Boot & Play scenario) Production Site DR Site
