Making Your Business Disaster Ready with Virtual Infrastructure
Business continuity and disaster recovery (DR) planning are critical to managing risks in a successful business. Between 60-90% of companies that don’t have a proactive disaster plan find themselves out of business within 24 months of experiencing a major disaster. However, implementation of a reliable recovery strategy with fast time to recovery is expensive largely because it involves maintaining recovery equipment that mirrors the equipment in the primary data center. Upgrades to both primary and recovery target equipment must occur in lock-step, hence many companies forgo the process.
