How to Be Protected
DR by Duplication
DR by Back-up

DR by Duplication
• Focus is on protecting application– Local cluster– Duplicate hot site
• High performance, but at what price?– Near Zero RTO, RPO
• High cost– Duplicate infrastructure– Cost x2
© Novell, Inc. All rights reserved.5
DR by Back-up
• Focus is on protecting data– Tape back-up– Imaging
• Poor performance– Slow RTO, RPO (days)
• Cost effective, but at what price?– How do we get the data back in to a useable state?– How long to rebuild the server?

Workload: The (New) IT Paradigm
A workload is an integrated stack of application, middleware, and operating system that accomplishes a computing task
A workload is portable and platform agnostic–it can run in physical, virtual or cloud computing environments
A workload or a collection of workloads makes up a business service, which is what the end user consumes

Disaster Recovery and Availability Challenges
Disaster recovery and availability replicates whole-server workloads to a virtualized recovery site.
Challenges – Before• 20% protected/over-protected• 80% under-protected• Slow daily tape backup; poor RPO• Slow recovery time; poor RTO• Difficulty testing; can’t meet RTO
Solution – After• 100% protected• Match protection to workload need• One-click recovery• Fast recovery time• Easy to test

During failover testing, backup workloads are
restored on an isolated network without affecting the
production environment.

Failing-over a Workload
Protected workloads can be failed over in minutes when the production server goes offline.
Failover settings are pre-configured, making the process a one-click operation.

Failing-back a Workload
After a disaster, restore the production environment
by failing back the workloads back to physical targets
or into a virtual environment
