Just how much is at stake when
critical business information is
unavailable?
Have you ever
asked yourself "How long can you
afford system to be down?"
A 2005 study of 80
large organizations by Infonetics
Research found that overall downtime
costs averaged an astounding 3.6% of
annual revenue.
In another study,
Forrester Research estimated the
average cost of downtime for
e-commerce sites at $8,000 per hour;
at larger sites, such as eBay and
Amazon, the costs soar to hundreds
of thousands of dollars per hour.
According to IDC, hardware failure,
application-related failure, and
human error are the leading causes
of IT downtime, not natural
disasters such as hurricanes or
earthquakes. While the latter grab
the headlines, everyday occurrences
put business at risk.
Traditionally, tape has dominated as
the backup and recovery medium of
choice.
Traditional file-based
backup software is too complicate and too slow. It takes
even more time and effort to restore a failed
system from backup tapes. Now you can turn to
sector-based solution for easier and faster
disaster recovery. Quick recovery reduces downtime and expense
associated with downtime.
As the cost of disk-to-disk backup
decreases and the need to restore
rapidly becomes ever more important,
disk is increasingly finding its
place in what IDC calls the "backup
hierarchy."
Thanks to
advances in
disk-based
backup
technology,
enterprises and
small business
alike can
transcend the
limitations of
traditional
backup and
recovery
practices to
take advantage
of the following
benefits:
-
Speed
-
Flexibility
-
Efficiency
-
Lower
Expense
Today's recovery solutions combine
the speed and reliability of
disk-based, Bare-Betal Recovery with new
technologies for
hardware-independent restoration.
This allows organizations to perform
a full system recovery in just
minutes, and to create real-time
system recovery points without
disrupting accessibility.
Additionally, it delivers the
flexibility to recover to dissimilar
hardware. This eliminates the cost of
having to maintain duplicate
hardware solely for the purposes of
system recovery in the event of an
emergency.
Your IT staff can
perform system restorations even if
there's no hardware available by
restoring recovery points to virtual
environments. When new hardware is
available, or existing hardware is
repaired, the servers can then be
restored from a virtual machine back
to a physical machine without
impacting business continuity.
Better and faster backup and
recovery are required today because
IT downtime has become less
predictable given all the dynamics
that can affect IT today. As you
increasingly expose your networks
to customers, partners, and
suppliers, your enterprises must be able
to isolate a threat or outage and
know precisely what steps to take to
recover.
By deploying both best-of-breed data
protection and best-of-breed system
recovery solutions, your enterprises are
in a better position to keep their
business up, running, and growing,
no matter what happens.
Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery delivers a rapid,
reliable approach to bare-metal recovery of critical
systems, whether the problem is caused by operating system
corruption, catastrophic failures, viruses, worms, user
errors, or a
complete hardware failure. It can
store recovery points on almost any type of disk medium,
including NAS, low-cost USB hard drive, USB Flash Drive, and
even DVD.
Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery also
available on Desktop Edition, Linux Edition, and Virtual
Edition |
