2 Application specific DT Best use of inter-site bandwidth Best possible recovery capability Application Specific Must be written in to code Expensive to engineer Effective Disaster Tolerance Server App

3 Good recovery capability Fully integrated replication – simple to manage and monitor Server Based DT Specific to O/S & H/W platform Less good use of bandwidth Fewer specific application recovery features Effective Disaster Tolerance Server App

4 Cheapest to deploy General Purpose Multi-OS, Multi-HW Hardest to monitor and control No integration between the DT layers – must compensate SAN Based DT Effective Disaster Tolerance Server App

5 OpenVMS & Disaster Tolerance OpenVMS Clusters have a unique enabling capability to build the most advanced disaster tolerant solutions in the world Short recovery times following data center loss are obtainable and reproducible in production environments

23 Design Considerations – Site Location

24 Design Considerations – Distance  Longer distance perceived to offer better business protection –Usually demanded by the business  But, longer distance :- –Increases latency – degrades performance for TP applications –Decreases bandwidth – degrades performance for mirror synchronization and high-bandwidth data –Increases costs of inter-site links Balance business risk against application performance

25 Design Considerations – Communications  Beware of Data Resynch Times  Best possible times to copy 1 TB of Data –T3 – ATM 44 Mb link  ~ 91 hours –FDDI 100Mb link.  ~ 31.6 hours –OC3 - ATM 155Mb link.  ~ 26 hours –FC 1000Mb link (Full Duplex)  ~ 3 hours 10 minutes  Assume a minimum of 2 FULL site consolidations (data copies) a year (observed)

26 So You’ve Chosen Your Sites and Your Communications……  How are you going to proceed?  Do you know all of the issues with your design?  Do you understand how your procedures will need to be changed?  Can you ensure no disruption to your mission critical applications while you are making the changes?

27 Our Approach to Disaster Tolerance  Solution approach through Disaster-Tolerant Cluster and Disaster Tolerant SAN Services delivering: –Proven hardware & software technologies –Proven implementation methodology –Address procedural as well as technology issues –Detailed Cluster & network design –Delivered as a partnership with the customer –Full documentation including recovery plan
