Disaster Recovery, Backup, and Data Protection

Natural disasters like tornados, floods, and hurricanes seem to be common scenarios that prompt disaster recovery planning. It’s a smart move to take into account for all the possible issues that may arise due to outages and disasters. The goal is clear: 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 and solutions. Here are some examples of solution architectures and technologies that we offer:

• VMware VI3 and VDI – 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 ultimate 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 the smallest increment of data loss, and in most scenarios can recover within a short amount of time.
