Disaster Recovery, Backup, and Data Protection

Natural disasters like tornados, floods, and hurricanes seem to be increasingly common events that prompt disaster recovery planning. It’s smart take into account all the issues that may arise due to outages and disasters. The goal is recovering and restarting from a disaster. But how?

Disaster Recovery is really the art of mastering Return Point Objective (RPO) and Return Time Objective (RTO) across a classification of your datasets. Nexus Information Systems offers services and solutions that have been researched and time-tested with hundreds of clients. Our Professional Services Architects will assess your environment, objectives, SLA’s, and financial constraints to offer a set of comprehensive options. Here are some examples of solution architectures and technologies that we offer:

• VMware VI3 and VDI – Provide recovery on different hardware, restart virtual machines automatically and move virtual machines across physical servers.
• Virtual Tape Library – VTL’s provide backup software a disk-based emulation of a tape library, with replication capabilities and foolproof backup performance.
• Capacity Optimized Storage – Unlike VTL’s, COS offers an easy to manage disk appliance that de-duplicates your backup data, resulting in an average of 20 to 1 compression.
  In addition to compression, you also have the ability to replicate daily changes across the WAN, accelerating your RTO and RPO.
• Replication with Snapshots/Clones – Provide recurring intervals that give a consistency point to recover.
• Continuous Data Protection - With CDP, an organization can quickly recover from an outage with only the smallest increment of data loss, and in most scenarios, can recover within a short amount of time.
