Safeguarding Data Against Disaster

In the modern business environment, there are few assets more valuable than information. And with IT as

®

the backbone of most business functions, information quickly becomes data to be stored, accessed and
analyzed. As such, the true value of business data lies in its constant availability, no matter what external
forces may be at play.

There is no concept more important to the preservation of data availability than redundancy. Any time
there exists only one copy of any data set, that data is at high risk of being lost. The most obvious solution
is data backup and businesses of any size must have a backup strategy if they want to remain competitive
in the current marketplace.

Once a backup strategy is firmly in place, the next logical step is to safeguard vital data against disaster,
or potential loss of both primary and backup data. Most likely, a loss of this magnitude would come at
the hands of a natural or man-made disaster. Here we are talking about catastrophic events that could
potentially destroy or disable entire oces or data centers. Fire, floods or even acts of terrorism fall into
this category.

In the data realm, these types of events can be prepared for by designing a plan for maintaining data
redundancy across multiple locations. The most common data management tool for maintaining this type
of redundancy is replication. An easy-to-use, robust and trusted replication technology must be at the core
of disaster preparedness or disaster recovery plans for any business.

In addition to protecting against catastrophic data loss, replication can also be used to strategically share or
consolidate data sets between remote or branch oce environments. Whether a business wants to mirror
information between two data high-powered data centers or a school district is looking to consolidate
individual school data to a central oce, replication technology is the key.
