Business Continuity Ensuring the continuity or uninterrupted provision of operations and services in spite of planned or unplanned contingencies.  Business Continuity Management is an on-going process with several different but complementary elements. Planning for business continuity is a comprehensive process that includes disaster recovery, business recovery, business resumption, and contingency planning. Now, here's a mission statement for business continuity. It's simply to ensure the continuity or the resumption of operations and services in spite of any type of disaster that may hit the data center or the company, and it's an ongoing process. It covers the whole corporation from top down, and it's from one end to the other, and it's really a process that helps the business recover from any kind of interruptions to service. Customer Presentation

…. So how do you build it from a hardware perspective? Business Continuity Is not just disaster recovery Is an on-going process Is composed of Contingency planning Disaster recovery Emergency response Business recovery Business resumption Crisis management In practical terms, business continuity is not just disaster recovery. Business continuity in many respects is how the company runs smoothly and with future changes coming along, and complex issues of dealing with customers and suppliers, and producing a product, designing a product. Most people consider that business continuity and disaster recovery are identical, but they're not really. Disaster recovery is only one piece of business continuity, and it's really, from a big picture viewpoint, business continuity has a whole number of items associated with it, and the list is real simple. It's contingency planning, disaster recovery, emergency response, recovery resumption, managing the disaster, and also planning for the next one. …. So how do you build it from a hardware perspective? Customer Presentation

Flash Copy Volume Copy Consistency Group Customer Presentation

created when primary site database is placed in hot backup mode FlashCopy Volume Copy Database Log files Here’s why we use the various replication technology. First we need a consistent copy of the database and logs at the remote site. Continuous mirroring does not allow recovery until the disaster. In order to avoid the possibility of the mirror being bad we a need consistent copy ahead of time. The way to do this is to suspend the mirror when the primary site enters a hot backup window. This means the primary database and the secondary mirror are absolutely identical. The snapshot merely creates a point-in-time image of that consistent image. Note that consistent does not mean mirrored, it is the result of the database flushing out all of its data and metadata. It is still not absolutely consistent since there are still transactions outstanding against that system. It is the combination of the database and the logs and a subsequent Rollforward recovery that will create a consistent database. Then to be able to use the database, you must VC the snapshot to create a complete and independent copy of the database and logs. You should/must not RF recover using the snapshot. Consistent copies created when primary site database is placed in hot backup mode Used to create the secondary database and Rollforward using the log files Consistency Group Customer Presentation

Secondary site Backups Backups taken to establish a recovery point in addition to the secondary database Backups Database Database is used for verifying logical consistency and Disaster Recovery Log files So, here’s the complete picture: We copy the database over to the secondary site. We mirror the logs over We Rollforward recover the database using the logs to bring it up-to-date We take backups to after each incremental recovery to provide recovery points We continue to process the logs as they are mirrored over Consistency Group Customer Presentation

Helpful questions to start conversation IBM Systems Group Helpful questions to start conversation Is business resilience a current business focus? Why? Are you under pressure to maintain continuous business operations? Do you know how IT system outages impact your critical business processes? Have you experienced a system failure in the past 12-24 months? Do you know what the costs and other risks to your business will be resulting from downtime? Do you have funding for business resilience? What is your timeframe for potentially purchasing and implementing a solution? Customer Presentation

How to facilitate a Backup & Restore Discussion Understand situation, issues, and needs How are you doing backup today? Or, Do you currently have backup policies in place? What type technology do they use for backups? Do you have reliability problems with your current backups? Does this meet your business requirements in the case of a system outage? Are the growing data backup requirements pushing against your backup window? How many people are responsible for data protection and how many different methods are they using? Is your data being backed up consistently and cost effectively? Do you require additional data protection for corporate data for onsite operational restoration or offsite for disaster recovery? Are you looking to consolidate your back up onto a single tape technology? What server environments do they operate? How much data do they need to back up and how often? How many different tape technologies do you have in your organization today? Tape is an essential part of a Backup and Recovery Plan! Customer Presentation

Replication Solution Positioning By Recovery Class Class 0: Do not recover (replace rather than recovered) Class 1: Non-important business functions (not needed) Class 2: Functions that are helpful (nice to have) Class 3: Important business functions (needed) Class 4: Crucial business functions (must-have) Class 5: Vital, cannot be offline, mission-critical, must continue at any cost (e.g., financial markets, air traffic control, health care systems, power, communications) Now, one way to identify and classify all of the applications in case it's a first-time effort and they want to protect a number of applications is the ability to kind of differentiate between the applications. We're going to look at it from an application replication solution positioning. And, basically, what this means is, we need to determine the critical urgency of a particular application. There are two goals here: One is we can identify those that are more important, the ones that are critical, that require all of our attention, and these are the ones -- the first ones that we'll be implementing a disaster recovery. Then if there is more than one, then we need to prioritize. We need to determine that there are some that are critical, and then there are some that are kind of required but not as critical, and then the third class might be here are the applications that do need recovery, but they're not as important as the first two categories. So here's kind of a very generic description as how you can classify. We can certainly look at Class 1 through 5. Of course, if they don’t need to recovery, then they certainly probably don't need a Disaster Recovery Solution. But we can look at it from Class 1, not important; Class 2, nice to have; Class 3 is needed; Class 4 is must have; and Class 5 is mandatory, mission critical, cannot be offline. It is at the core of the company in the data center, and it's mandated that we have to have this application recovered very quickly. So perhaps we can look at it going from Class 5, identifying all the applications of Class 5 in providing a solution for disaster recovery of all the Class 5 apps, and then we look at Class 4, and then Class 3, then Class 2. As part of business continuance planning, applications are often grouped into recovery classes. This solution will primarily address those applications that fall into recovery classes two through four. And, again, as we’ve discussed this is where the majority of the market needs help! Again, those: 75% of companies that face an hourly cost of downtime between $50-250 million And those 60% of companies that face ruin if not running again with three days have a solution Provide the average organization, which requires recovery time from a major system outage between four and 48 hours, with a cost effective, simple solution This solution will not be ideal for every application and BC/DR recovery time and recovery point objective! This solution will focus on the use of asynchronous mirroring to create consolidated backup and restore operations for applications that are not ‘mission’ critical’, but important. These applications may include include: data warehousing and analysis, certain e-commerce or web purchasing applications, web servers, CRM systems, and ERP systems. Customer Presentation

Business Continuity Tiers Recovery from a disk image Recovery from tape copy Tier 7 – Site Mirroring with automated recovery Cost Tier 6 - Disk mirroring (with/without automation) Tier 5 –Software replication Tier 4 - Point in Time disk copy When we discussed the hardware infrastructure, we noted that the challenge in most enterprises is that there is a wide variety of value points in data but there are generally a limited few cost points in the underlying storage infrastructure – making it difficult to effectively map the value of information to the appropriate cost of storage. There is a similar conversation with Advanced Copy Services. The same enterprise data that has different value points also has different recovery requirements. Recovery requirements are generally measured using 2 metrics. The first is the Recovery Point Objective (RPO). The RPO can be thought of as the degree of difference between the active online data and the disaster recovery copy of that data. A RPO of zero would mean that the primary copy and the disaster recovery copy are in exact synchronization. A failure would result in zero loss of data. Intuitively, this is what every IT manager would like to have. However, it is generally quite expensive to implement. Some, maybe all data (depending on your business) can stand a longer RPO – meaning that a failure would result in some transactional data being lost. The other metric is the Recovery Time Objective (RTO). The RTO is the amount of time after a failure that you are willing to spend before a given application or group of data is back up and available. A RTO of zero means that failures should cause zero disruption. Again, this is what most IT managers would love to have – if cost was not a factor. The thing we want to accomplish with Advanced Copy Services is to implement multiple levels of recoverability, with multiple levels of associated cost, so that IT managers can do a more effective job of mapping the value and recovery needs of their data to the most appropriate recovery capability. By design, IBM offers purpose-built advanced copy services all along this recovery hierarchy.
