What is DRP ?  DRP is a plan or strategy has the ability of an infrastructure to restart operations after a disaster like almost nothing did happen. 3 CS526 - Spring 2010

statistics  47% of universities currently have no DRP.  More 90% of organization s lost their data system for days because either they don’t have DRP or it ‘s weak.  50% of organizations started making their DRP after knowing how it would have been if they had it.  30% of originations have at least one fire alert every year.  Not having DRP in case of attacking by hackers cost the world about 55,000,000,000 every year.  43% of companies experiencing disasters never re-open, and 29% close within two years (McGladrey and Pullen).  55% of virtual machine’s customers using virtualization for BC/DR 4 CS526 - Spring 2010

What considerations we care about?  Recovery Point Objective (RPO)  Recovery Time Objective (RTO)  Test Time Objective (TTO)  Cost  Reliability  Complexity  Automation 5 CS526 - Spring 2010

Common DRP  Back up  Image Capture  Replication  server cluster  virtualization 6 CS526 - Spring 2010

Why virtualization is the best ? Simple Portable  Controllability Automation  Fast  High availability Isolated  Security reliability 7 CS526 - Spring 2010

Cost 8 CS526 - Spring 2010

Lower Cost  High quality. Flexibility 9 CS526 - Spring 2010
