What is a Workload?

A workload is anintegrated stack ofapplication, middleware,and operating systemthat accomplishes a computing task

A workload is portableand platform agnostic–it can run in physical,virtual or cloudcomputing environments

A workload or acollection ofworkloads makesup a businessservice, which iswhat the end userconsumes

What resourcesare in the data center?

What workloads arerunning on those

resources?

PlateSpin Recon Enterprise provides physical and virtual infrastructure analysis, planning, and reporting for data center initiatives.

How efficiently areresources assigned to

workloads?

Create plans to optimize workloads

Define Your Objectives

• Time between declaration and service availability

• Time to restore services to useable state

Recovery Time Objective (RTO)

• Data in system lost at disaster time• Amount of data entered since last backup

Recovery Point Objective (RPO)

• Time required to test recovery plans• Resources used for testing

Test Time Objective (TTO)

Static Back-up

Focus is on protecting datao Tape back-upo Imaging

Poor performanceo Slow RTO, RPO (days)

Hidden costso How do we get the data back

in to a useable state?o How long to rebuild the server?

Mirrored Replication

Focus is on protecting applicationo Local clustero Duplicate hot siteo Like for like infrastructure

High performance, but at what price?o Near Zero RTO, RPO

High costo Duplicate infrastructureo Management complexity

Bridging the GapCompleting your DR architecture

• Fast RTO and RPO• Duplicate Resources• Costly and Complex

• Slow RTO and RPO• Over Commitment of
