Business Continuity

This portfolio of LSI solutions ensures dynamic data protection and processes for recovering from an unplanned system interruption. The reality facing all organizations today is that unplanned system interruptions happen. And when they do, the impact to your business can be severe. According to recent statistics from the ATT 2006 Business Continuity Study:

• 28 percent of US-based companies do not have adequate plans in place to cope with natural or other potential disasters.
• In the wake of Katrina, more companies consider business continuity planning to be a priority, but a significant number still do not see its relative importance.
• For those companies hit with recent disasters, 9 percent indicated that it cost about $500,000 a day or more in repairs and loss of business, which translates to a loss of $2.5 million a week, if normal business operations cannot be restored.
• Viruses, worms, and spyware remain the most significant perceived threat to organizational cyber security – and by a significant margin.
• Nearly 30 percent of those surveyed said that their company has suffered from a disaster.

Clearly, creating a business continuance plan with specific disaster recovery processes may be the most important requirement for a business today.

Moreover, these plans need to take into consideration the fact that data has different levels of importance within a company. And just as data has different levels of importance (and is assigned different recovery time and recovery point objectives), LSI provides dynamic data protection solutions to meet these objectives

The LSI business continuity-related portfolio of solutions solves these problems by offering the replication and nondisruptive backup and recovery products and services.

Benefits

• Ensure data protection by delivering copies of data off-site and out of metro area, or locally within metro area
• Provide professional implementation – reduce integration time and risk using an LSI developed implementation methodology
• Process for recovery of data and applications
• Dynamically change from asynchronous to synchronous replication as application needs dictate
• Streamline server backups into one remote tape backup system for maximum cost-efficiency and protection
• Maximize current data protection investments by reusing some existing storage devices in secondary site
• Dynamically change data replication policies based on changes in application(s) and/or interruptions
• Minimize staff required to manage backup operations, deploy for revenue producing opportunities
• Take advantage of synchronous and asynchronous mirroring along with other copy functions such as Volume Snapshot and Volume Copy to achieve a solid business continuance strategy
• Dynamically start-stop mirroring process in case of planned or unplanned interruption (suspend /resume)

Expand Summary Cost Effective Disaster Recovery White Paper May.01.07 (PDF 435 KB) Discussion of the use of the StoreAge multiMirror snapshot-enhanced asynchronous mirroring solution, and examination of how using snapshot-enhanced asynchronous mirroring technology can provide higher performance, high data integrity and faster recovery compared to synchronous approaches. Expand Summary Data Protection and Disaster Recovery Planning May.01.07 (PDF 335 KB) Data Recovery is somewhat similar to life insurance – you invest your money today, to overcome a possible disaster in the future. Just like insurance, Disaster Recovery Planning is a complex and constantly changing subject. There are many options, and there are many highly-paid consultants who often have different interests than their clients. Therefore, it is no surprise that this complexity generates myths – many of which are erroneous. This white paper answers some of the most frequently asked questions in this area of technology. Expand Summary Enhanced Backup Using multiView and Asynchronous multiMirror May.01.07 (PDF 410 KB) Data protection requirements have changed dramatically as corporations have become more dependent on IT applications to run their businesses. As the value of data has increased, and as organizations better understand the financial impact of system downtime, many IT departments are now requiring their data to have multiple layers of protection. This white paper describes how the multiView data snapshot and asynchronous multiMirror data mirroring applications from LSI can be integrated with existing backup tools to provide superior data protection as required by today's enterprise environment.
