Pro Tips for Backing Up Large Data Sets
 |
What do we mean by large? A simple question with a not-so-simple answer. If your total data footprint is 5 TB or more, that’s considered large. But what kind of data is it? How many actual files are there? How frequently do they change? How much can they be compressed? It’s likely that two different 5 TB environments would require different data protection schemes if they were comprised of different file types that changed at different rates. On the other hand, bandwidth capacity restrictions are a common denominator for all environments. The question boils down to this: How should you back up data so that it can be reliably recovered through a process that doesn’t interfere with daily workloads traveling across the network? IT pros on the frontlines have no single tool for determining the impact that backing up large datasets will have on bandwidth. It’s a process of trial and error, even for the experts who do it daily. You can only protect as much data as your network will allow. And there’s little use backing up data that can’t be recovered in a timely fashion. Before you consider how you’re going to back up large datasets, first consider how you may need to recover the data. |

Art of Eliminating Downtime to Achieve High Availability
 |
Clearly, technology exists that can eliminate it. But with the reduction or elimination of downtime, the associated costs – when compared to once-per-night backups – increase. That means the trick in eliminating downtime is identifying which applications or data sets in your environment cannot experience downtime and then selecting a cost-effective solution that meets the goal of eliminating downtime. In turn, IT creates an enterprise where critical applications and services are always available no matter what threats impact the data center. |

Put Data Protection Where You Need It
 |
For a backup solution to be considered flexible, it needs to satisfy several key business requirements. It should integrate seamlessly with any servers you’re running and provide full support for all the applications your business uses. It should enable you to protect assets in different parts of the country or overseas. And it should let you manage and monitor backups from anywhere. A flexible backup solution gives you everything you need to protect the technology investments you make now and in the future. So instead of having to buy multiple solutions to support your changing needs, you can have a single solution that adapts to fit your environment. We call that flexible deployment. |
