4. DR by Duplication
• Focus is on protecting application
– Local cluster
– Duplicate hot site
• High performance, but at what price?
– Near Zero RTO, RPO
• High cost
– Duplicate infrastructure
– Cost x2

5. DR by Back-up
• Focus is on protecting data
– Tape back-up
– Imaging
• Poor performance
– Slow RTO, RPO (days)
• Cost effective, but at what price?
– How do we get the data back in to a useable state?
– How long to rebuild the server?

Challenges – Before Solution – After
• 20% protected/over-protected • 100% protected
• 80% under-protected • Match protection to
• Slow daily tape backup; poor RPO workload need
• Slow recovery time; poor RTO • One-click recovery
• Difficulty testing; can’t meet RTO • Fast recovery time
• Easy to test
