Deploying Protection as a Service

Here’s some best practices for protecting Exchange and SQL today:

1. Tier apps by SLA RPO, RTO (Gold, Silver, Bronze)

2. Map appropriate technology to exceed goals for best cost

3. Automate protection for applications

4. Enable DBAs and app owners to make their own copies

5. Report on status on a regular basis

Think in terms of Application Protection as a Service.

Step 1. Tier Your Applications by RPO, RTO

1. Identify critical applications

2. Determine RPO

3. Determine RTO

How much data can you lose in the event of an outage?

How fast do you need to return to production?

List your top 3 applications that are mission critical to your business.

RPO: Recovery Point ObjectiveRTO: Recovery Time Objective

Ordering Systems 1 min 1 hr

Email 30 min 2 hr

CRM 30 min 4 hr
