Data Centre HA & DR Assurance
The Aim- Business Continuity
Organizations spend millions of dollars on disaster recovery, high availability and replication solutions to ensure their data is replicated and available remotely in the event of disaster. Any unplanned downtime or data loss has a significant commercial impact either financial or on a companies reputation resulting in significant personal impact at all levels of the business from the customer to the board and shareholders. While the only constant in your production/DR environment is change, a single configuration error can derail a recovery or impact availability, these inconsistencies often remain hidden until it is too late.
The Threat
Configuration Drift: The Greatest Threat to Business Continuity
Configuration drift -- an inevitable condition in today’s constantly changing data center --occurs when production or primary infrastructure configurations “drift” or become different in some way from the recovery or secondary infrastructure. It creates serious data protection gaps which impact your Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and host configuration gaps which impact your Recovery Time Objectives (RTO).
Weakness in current risk mitigation practices
To mitigate this DR/HA tests are undertaken and these are risky, expensive, infrequent, and often unreliable. Disaster recovery (DR) and high availability (HA) tests should be performed after each configuration change but companies just don’t have the time or resources to execute full, by-the-book tests. Plus, the moment a change is made to the infrastructure, the test results may become invalid
Home-grown solutions are not complete.
It is impossible for busy IT organizations to stay up-to-date with industry best practices, shifting recoverability threats, data protection vulnerabilities, and other issues that pose a risk to business continuity.
