DATA BACKUP & RECOVERY: Protecting Your Company’s Electronic Information

The Wealth of Information Your data is your…  Intellectual property  Electronic records  Productivity enabler  Foundation of relationships

How Data Is Lost  The most common reasons for data loss are:  40% Hardware Failure  29% Human Error  13% Software Failure/Corruption  9% Theft  6% Viruses  3% Natural Disasters

A Look at Offsite Data Backup  Helps to solve many “challenges”  Backups are scheduled  Continual data protection  Automated, digital offsite storage  On-demand recovery  Scalable to meet needs

So Why Not Offsite Data Protection?  Storage costs  Understanding where data lives  I like to manage my own backup process and systems

Granular Controls  What is backed up?  Whose files are backed up?  How do you prioritize file recovery?  How quickly can files be accessed?

Enterprise Data Backup Network Computers Network Server(s) Files are compressed & encrypted before backup Transmitted over secure, encrypted private tunnel If needed, data is restored securely and immediately Geographically dispersed, Redundant data centers

Disaster Recovery Three main components  Automated backup  Offsite, redundant storage  Immediate recovery

Backup Is Great, But It’s the Recovery that Counts Costs of recovery mishaps  IT cost  Downtime – for one, many or all  Re-creation of data - if possible  Business viability

Virtualization for Business Continuity  Reduces price and complexity of business continuity  Encapsulates OS/apps/data  Stores encapsulated data offsite  Allows remote access to systems  Easy, quick restoration Creates a “mirror” of primary systems

Benefits of Virtualization  Speed of recovery  No duplication of hardware  Flexibility  Cost savings

Provide “insurance” for your data Gain process efficiencies Improve your IT infrastructure Establish a disaster recovery plan Free up time to do projects you really want to do… If You’re Doing This “Right,” You…
