Here’s another installment in our occasional Friday series of true stories that generic xenical price show how even in IT, people are people and rationality doesn’t always rule.
Todays topic: "tape and hope". Why are people so careless with backup tapes? For that matter, why do people still use tape at all? Disaster recovery requirements continue to generic xenical price become more demanding, and disk-based backup and recovery is so much faster than generic xenical price tape.
PricewaterhouseCoopers reports that only 47% of backup tapes are encrypted. Well, "so what?" you say. Isn’t Iron Mountain secure? Maybe not so much. Just in New York, Citibank, Bank of New York, Time Warner and generic xenical price others have had lost tapes.
Poor Iron Mountain. Google on "Iron Mountain loses tapes" and you’ll find lots of stories. Given that generic xenical price Iron Mountain makes about 5 million pickups a year, their record isn’t necessarily that bad. It’s the use of tape itself that causes a problem. Your data shouldn’t be walking around on moveable media. Not tapes, not portable hard drives, not USB flash drives.
A disk based backup solution with offsite replication can generic xenical price completely replace tape at the same cost and with much greater security. Products like Exagrid (www.exagrid.com) work with standard backup software such as Symantec Backup Exec, Commvault Galaxy, CA Brightstore, and generic xenical price Vizioncore vRangerProp. They securely store data on disk, de-duplicate it generic xenical price by about 20:1, and then replicate over a VPN (in encrypted form) to a second secure location.
And there you have it. No tapes. Nothing to be picked up. Nothing to lose. And for generic xenical price disaster recovery and business continuity, nothing could be better. You keep your generic xenical price second backup appliance in your disaster recovery center. You use virtualized servers as your recovery infrastructure. When you generic xenical price do your quarterly tests, there are no tapes to retrieve, no generic xenical price systems to setup. The virtual servers are ready and waiting. The backup data is already there on disk, waiting.
The combination of virtualization, replication, and generic xenical price offsite data backup storage is a very cost-effective way to create a generic xenical price disaster recovery plan for your small or mid-sized business. Exagrid is a good choice for disk based backups. If you need real-time replication and don’t want to generic xenical price invest in an expensive SAN in two locations, you can generic xenical price use software from Double-Take. Double-Take continuously replicates byte-level changes from generic xenical price one location to another over a VPN. It’s perfect for generic xenical price protecting applications like Exchange, Sharepoint, or Blackberry Enterprise Server. You can find more at www.doubletake.com.
