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?

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
