Use the results of that conversation to tailor this presentation and focus the time around the admitted pain points.

After discussing each briefly ask the audience for feedback. Do they agree with the list? Are there things that should be added? What are the focus areas within this prospect from this list? You can then use gathered information as a basis for to schedule follow-up discussions around the problem. Avoid prescribing a solution before you have all the information you need about your specific customers view of problems.

Severe ramifications of data lossData unavailability results in lost revenue and possibly business failure93% of companies that lost the use of their data center for 10 days or more filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster (Source: National Archives & Records Administration, Washington D.C.)Of the companies experiencing disasters, 43 percent never reopen, and 29 percent close within two years (Source: McGladrey & Pullen, LLP).The average cost of downtime as a function of labor (for large organizations) is $1,010,536 per hour (Source: Meta Group Study).A service interruption could cost a company (Bank) between $60,000 and $250,000 a minute (Source: U.S. Banker).#High AvailabilityFault-tolerant, failure-resistant streamlined infrastructure with affordable cost foundation Continuous OperationsNon-disruptive backups and system maintenance coupled with continuous availability of applicationsDisaster RecoveryProtection against unplanned outages such as disasters through reliable, predictable recoveryHitachi NAS replication delivers multiple benefitsReplication is the answer#File Level ReplicationNDMP based data copy of filesWalks directory tree to build delta/incrementalBlock Level ReplicationLeverages underlying storage replication technologyEnables High Availability and advanced replication scenariosObject Level ReplicationOnly replicates objects changed since last checkpointResults in faster, more efficient replicationHNAS has three replication mechanisms availableHitachi NAS Replication choices#Object Replication is usually bestObject Replication:Fast and EfficientFile Replication: GranularBlock Replication: Powerful
