Will traditional data protection applications survive the demands for ultra-high availability and the growing requirements for nearly instantaneous recovery?
Explore 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 importantly, how do new data de-duplication 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. This white paper includes a checklist with considerations to make this task easier.
