DISASTER RECOVERY PLANNING FOR MODERN DISASTERS

Planning for disaster recovery is a necessity of your job. It requires
preparation, management, and testing. We understand it may not be at the top of
your ‘To Do’ list, but if it is done well, it can ensure your business is ready
when disaster strikes. The key to successful recovery is to be prepared with a
modern data recovery solution you trust.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


THE CHALLENGE OF TOO MANY DATA PROTECTION TOOLS

With weather events, ransomware and other outages disrupting your business,
recovery time is critical. When time is being measured in minutes and seconds,
you require a view across all your data. However, organizations that have
multiple data protection tools take longer to recover, have more manual steps
and are prone to errors. Today’s disaster recovery plan needs to cover physical
and virtual servers, storage arrays, applications, databases, cloud
environments, containers and even big data platforms. Many organizations are
replacing multiple tools with a single solution to cover both their daily data
management needs as well as addressing full disaster scenarios. For day-to-day
activities, a single solution will streamline restore operations, ensure
consistent processes and increase staff efficiency and responsiveness.

96% of global IT decision makers surveyed had experienced one outage in the past
3 years.(1)


THE GROWING DATA AVAILABILITY THREAT: RANSOMWARE

Your disaster recovery solution needs to be able to restore your business from a
wide variety of outages. One of the leading causes of outage today is
cybercrime, specifically ransomware. The truth is ransomware isn’t new. It has
been around in one form or another for decades. Like other technologies, malware
and ransomware are evolving with new threat variants coming out all the time.
One reason for this is cyber criminals are sharing techniques and base code
(off-the-shelf malware) with other criminals – which accelerates the time to
market for new and more robust malware.

Multi-tiered replication for cost-effective recovery

A real-world disaster recovery challenge is replicating data to your recovery
site. Your organization is creating new data all the time. This new data needs
to be replicated off site in case the production site has an outage.

In an ideal world, an enterprise would have 100% of their data replicated to the
disaster recovery site in nanoseconds. But given you don’t have infinite network
capacity, a multi-tiered replication strategy is the most realistic approach.
With Commvault Complete™ Backup and Recovery you can create a multi-tiered
replication strategy that accommodates the different priorities of data and
types of workloads you need to restore.

For example, you can have your tier one critical databases updated every few
minutes via real-time replication, tier two applications replicated every four
hours via snapshots, and tier three web servers replicated every 24 hours via
backups. Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery provides this multi-tiered
replication capability so that you can protect multiple tiers of applications
and databases without spending excess IT budget on network connectivity and
storage.

Disaster recovery costs by Recovery Point Objectives



An even more budget friendly disaster recovery implementation is using multiple
replication methods such as remote backups, snapshots, deduplicated copies and
real-time replications in parallel. Older disaster recovery solutions force you
into using one replication method that requires high-end hardware and network
components, adding unnecessary cost. Commvault approaches disaster recovery
differently. With a choice of multiple replication methods, you can pick and
choose the right replication technology to protect your application groups.

Multi-tiered replication also helps recover from ransomware attacks. For those,
you need a scalable method such as controlled snapshots and backup copies to
restore your entire environment. If you are only using a continuous replication
solution, it will be prohibitively more expensive since it requires more storage
to keep all the granular restoration data.

Flexibility to address daily recovery needs as well as full scale disasters

Data center-wide disasters don’t happen that often, but you need to recover
files or restore entire servers frequently, sometimes on a daily basis. For
these recovery scenarios, it is important to be able to manage data and
workloads across on-premises and cloud storage locations from a single user
interface. Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery provides an easy-to-use
administrator console to carry out all functions. It manages all of your data
and applications across your environment and geographies.

Reduce IT workloads by automating disaster recovery management

Your disaster recovery solution needs to be easy to maintain and ready when
disaster strikes. For both backup and disaster recovery use cases, Commvault
Complete™ Data Protection provides a consistent framework for you to customize
disaster recovery plans to your specific needs.

As a single management console, Commvault Command Center™ helps you define what
to protect, where to protect and how to protect your data and applications. When
you are already using Commvault for data backup and archiving, no re-training is
required to expand your Commvault implementation for disaster recovery.

Commvault recovery plans only need to be setup once. You can implement the
protection plan for hypervisors, VMs, databases, clouds, etc. on day one, and it
will automatically protect the IT environment going forward. Commvault Complete
Backup & Recovery gives you automation, orchestration and a repeatable process
that requires very little involvement.

When disaster strikes, it’s very likely that you won’t have all your IT staff
available. It’s crucial to have a disaster recovery solution that can easily
carry out your disaster recovery failover sequence even if your IT administrator
is not available. Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery provides ways to execute
automated disaster recovery for different types of disasters. You can prioritize
what is more important for your organization at time of disaster (e.g., update
the latest data first versus failover as soon as possible) and execute the
recovery with one click.

Disaster recovery for today’s real-world outages

Comprehensive disaster recovery of data across on-premises, cloud and virtual
environments is critical for your business.

Select a real-world disaster recovery solution that covers your needs by:

 * Protecting you from various outage types: weather events, ransomware and
   other outages
 * Providing flexible disaster recovery options to meet your changing
   infrastructure needs
 * Automating and carrying out various recovery tasks, not only disaster
   recovery
 * Supporting a wide array of disaster recovery architecture options so that you
   can balance cost versus performance
 * Providing an easy-to-use and intuitive management console
 * Streamlining recovery operations when disaster strikes


A ransomware attack hit the City of Sparks, Nev., but with Commvault data
protection the IT team had rapid data recovery. When ransomware hit, police
department shared files were locked. City employees could not access the
geographic information system. With Commvault backup and recovery, the municipal
government was able to complete data recovery from the ransomware attack in just
12 hours.

Choosing the right disaster recovery solution can be the difference between
keeping the organizations’ lights on or going dark during an emergency. With
Commvault Complete Data Protection you will be a superhero; ready to protect and
recover from today’s real-world outages at a moment’s notice.
